Disrupting Workspace Optimization: Quantum Strides LLC’s AI-Driven Approach to Revolutionizing Real Estate

Published

on

Tharun Mohan, Founder, President & CEO of Quantum Strides LLC, shares how AI-driven innovations are transforming asset management, providing powerful, cost-effective solutions. He also discusses empathy’s key role in driving real innovation and identifying unmet needs, demonstrating how technology can transform traditional methods and bridge talent gaps in emerging tech and healthcare.

TAMPA BAY, Fla., Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — With over 5.9 million non-residential buildings in the U.S., including 1 million warehouses and 518,000 retail facilities, corporations face complex challenges in managing and optimizing these spaces. (1) Tharun Mohan, Founder, President & CEO of Quantum Strides LLC, joins host Karla Jo Helms (KJ) in this week’s episode of the Disruption Interruption podcast to discuss how AI-driven innovations are transforming real estate and asset management. “You be surprised to know a lot of companies are still not using and leveraging technology that is out there, especially AI and IoT”, Mohan shares.

“Quantum Strides’ AI solutions transform real estate management, optimizing space and saving companies millions by using advanced, affordable technology for all,” says Tharun Mohan, CEO of Quantum Strides LLC.

Wi-Fi Tracking Technology Optimizes Real-Time Space Utilization
Thanks to Wi-Fi-based solutions, companies can monitor space usage in real-time, utilizing the connected devices employees already have, such as laptops and smartphones. This technology tracks occupancy without compromising privacy, allowing businesses to gather data on room traffic and desk usage through heat maps and detailed usage reports.
With this data, companies can identify underutilized floors or areas, assess which spaces can remain inactive, and calculate the associated cost savings. “Companies that don’t adopt these technologies are losing millions of dollars due to wasted space, while those that implement them are saving a crazy amount of money,” explains Mohan

Unlock New Potential: The Shift from Legacy Systems to Smart Tech
Many companies still rely on outdated systems and manual processes like Excel spreadsheets. However, rapid advancements in AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) now offer businesses the chance to modernize and dramatically improve efficiency, highlights Mohan.
IoT sensors, for instance, can monitor space occupancy in real time, while AI analyzes this data to predict future needs and optimize capacity. Mohan highlights that this technology is especially valuable for organizations with fluctuating demands, such as universities, that experience seasonal increases in student presence.
“Through our facility maintenance and management software, you can do it optimally and efficiently at speed. AI can forecast these peaks and troughs, enabling proactive resource adjustments,” Mohan points out.

Making Enterprise-Grade Tech Affordable for Mid-Market Growth
While enterprise-grade solutions offer powerful capabilities, such as advanced space utilization and comprehensive reporting, they can be cost-prohibitive for smaller organizations. To address this, Quantum Strides is developing a mid-market solution with similar functionalities at a fraction of the cost—roughly 25% of a full-scale enterprise solution.
This affordable option aims to extend advanced technology to mid-sized companies, empowering them to achieve efficient operations and sustainability goals without hefty investment.
“Technology like this can disrupt and add true value by providing functionality at affordable prices so that it’s accessible to everyone. Our goal is to scale this across the U.S. and eventually into markets like Latin America,” Mohan explains.

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers. Businesses move more than $9 billion a year on licenses Sokin holds in 36+ countries and infrastructure Sokin owns. Founded in 2019, Sokin has raised over $100 million from investors including Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital and Prysm Capital.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Chelsea Women’s team have enjoyed a huge amount of success and in 2025 won the FA Women’s Super League for a sixth consecutive year and the eighth time overall. The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021. In two seasons, 2020/21 and 2024/25, a domestic treble of trophies was secured.

The Chelsea Foundation boasts one of the most extensive community initiatives in sport, helping to improve the lives of children and young people all over the world.
