EP 379 – Will Quantum Computing Change the Future of Financial Services Forever? – Dipen Mehta – Softserve

by | Jul 16, 2025

Quantum computing is poised to transform how we process information, making today’s most powerful computers look slow by comparison. Unlike classical computers that rely on binary bits—either 0 or 1—quantum computers use qubits, which can exist in multiple states at once.

In this episode of the Asia Tech Podcast, ⁠Dipen Mehta⁠, EVP & GM for APAC at ⁠Softserve⁠, breaks down why quantum computing is a game-changer.

Some of the topics that Dipen covered in detail include:

  • Quantum computing introduces ⁠qubits⁠, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously—a phenomenon called superposition. This single feature allows quantum machines to process vastly more information at once, enabling computation on a previously unimaginable scale.
  • We are still in the early innings of quantum’s commercial, but while we are early, it is inevitable.
  • Quantum won’t replace classical computing—it will complement it. Each paradigm has its strengths, and early applications will likely leverage hybrid approaches.
  • Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are on a collision course.
  • Combining AI with quantum opens the door to what Mehta calls “real-time, hyper-personalized financial services.”

EP 417 – AI Agents Can Think and Act. Is Your Business Ready? – Raymond Ngan, Appian

For many years, automation inside businesses followed simple rules. If something happened, a system performed the next predefined step. That model created enormous efficiencies, but it was limited by rigid logic and narrow workflows. Today, a new generation of artificial intelligence is emerging that can reason about problems, plan tasks, and take action across multiple systems.
