Bootstrapped.
Self-governed. Busy.
And growing.

We jointly founded Quantum Data Engines in 2011 and we were generously supported in our journey by Harini Raghavan. Prior to starting QDE, we worked together on the forefront of financial crime management software in the wake of post 9/11 global crack down on financing of terrorism and money laundering. Our interactions with financial institutions around the world made us aware of what was required from regulation and what was lacking in first generation of transaction monitoring systems. We later joined hands to design and build Compass AML as a single window transaction monitoring system to manage and mitigate risks arising out of financial crime.

In 2014, as a small team of 5 people, we delivered the first version of Compass AML to a leading bank in India as a seamless migration from their legacy AML system. In delivering a highly scalable transaction monitoring system with legacy migration of large customer and transaction data sets, we also built a super-fast data extraction, processing and loading tool. The feedback was immediate, and the results were promising and encouraging for us to invest further into the product. The data processing engine has become the foundation of all our products and our products have grown to meet the evolving shifts in technology and domain.

Over the last fifteen years, QDE has expanded tremendously as a team, our products have been accepted by a variety of financial institutions around the world. Today, our products process over 1.5 billion transactions a day at client installations across nineteen countries and jurisdictions. We also run the fastest data input, anomaly processing and alert delivery engine in the markets we operate in and our products are a symbol of stability, scalability, performance and trust.

Our products help build confidence, whether directly through our work or indirectly through what our products allow our clients and users to achieve. The entire QDE team has been awed by the dedication of our customers to their compliance goals and we are thrilled to be welcomed into their lives and be a part of their daily work routine. We work every day to enable our customers move the needle forward in compliance, in mitigating risk, in decision making and in competing better. Our continued goal is to provide an experience of completion to all the stakeholders in the financial crime investigation and management process and use the data for better decision making across the institution.

QDE is not a large company that dabbles in too many products. We are, instead, a product company dedicated to only building a specialized and niche set of products. We have fully bootstrapped all our products, putting our customers at the forefront of our design process. No venture capital. No board of directors. No investors. As a team, QDE is small, nimble and quick to respond. We are obsessed about product development and spend extensive time in researching, developing and testing products. A small company making a big difference to the industry.

As a small company, we care about our people, our clients and our planet. We are building a modern company with an inclusive culture reflecting an organization of the future. We are committed to deliver beyond what we have promised to our clients. We founded Ripples to connect to nonprofits with creative ideas for social responsibility and engagement. For a company our size, we substantially contribute to our Ripples initiative.

Being bootstrapped, we are frugal, and we are proud to work with leading financial institutions, solving pressing global problems while leading a talented and dedicated team. We are also intensely passionate about bootstrapped entrepreneurship, software product development and developing people.

We build algorithms of trust and we are here for the long haul.
