1. Take us through the journey of Quantian Technologies? What led to its inception?
Quantian Technologies was founded in February of 2021 with a view to solve problems unique to managing remote and on-the-field workforce using modern and more efficient Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) techniques. Both the founders of the company have had extensive business operations experience running teams comprised of more than 5,000 staff and just like many leaders managing large, distributed teams, they too faced issues such as gauging correct productivity metrics, not having a ringside view of their operations on a single screen, truancy of their workers from their respective work locations etc. A decade or so back, such problems were attempted to be solved by automation, often deploying machine learning techniques. Both the founders have considerable experience and success running automation programs but they realized that technology solutions available then were inadequate. A more effective management approach to managing large, distributed teams was not just about productivity savings brought about by automation but also needed to aggregate information while at the same time preserving the decentralization inherent in geographically distributed teams.

While not a classic aha! moment, the realization of this gap in managing large remote teams as well as the future potential of A.I techniques to resolve this gap was a result of deliberate analysis driven by personal experiences (of the founders). That is the story behind the genesis of Quantian Technologies.
