About Us

How We Started

Our journey started five years ago over a breakfast meeting between our CEO, Thru Shivakumar, and Raj Gupta, the Executive Chairman of ESD. Their conversation sparked the idea of a technology that could bridge the gap between tenant applications and legacy building systems. They believed that by making a building flexible, responsive, and data-driven, we could unlock opportunities for optimization and value creation. And so, six months later and a spin-off from a mechanical engineering company, Cohesion was founded.

Since then, Cohesion has become the go-to platform for CRE and Enterprise organizations looking to elevate their operations and assets. With industry priorities constantly shifting – from hybrid work to building health, environmental sustainability, and CRE workforce automation – our smart building platform ensures that the built environment is prepared for anything.

OUR MISSION

Accelerate resilience in every building by connecting people, places, and the planet.

Core Values

Strive for Excellence

At Cohesion, our success is rooted in the unwavering dedication to our core values. Each and every Cohesionite embodies these six pillars, resulting in a culture that is impossible to replicate, and, of course, exceptionally cohesive. This commitment permeates every aspect of our business, from customer interactions and team collaborations to groundbreaking products, marking the Cohesion difference immediately. We don’t boast about having values; we hold ourselves to the elevated standard that we’ve built together.
