Our Story
XTRIUM began with a deceptively simple question: why is it still so hard for companies to find the right material for the right application?
The idea started when a senior materials executive described the slow, manual process of identifying new applications and substitutes for advanced materials. What seemed like a simple search problem turned out to be a complex decision challenge across performance, cost, compliance, sustainability, sourcing, and market demand.
Soon after, Malur Narayan met Dr. Sirisha Kuchimanchi and Raghunandan Mathur at a quantum computing conference in Dallas. An AI and enterprise technology leader, a materials scientist, and a deep-tech systems expert came together around one conviction: the materials economy needed an intelligence layer.
The team built an early prototype, validated it with manufacturers, and launched XTRIUM to help companies make faster, smarter materials decisions.
Today, XTRIUM connects materials science, supply-chain intelligence, and AI to help companies discover applications, identify substitutes, reduce risk, and build the products of tomorrow.
