XTRIUM
XTRIUM is an Austin-based deeptech startup building an AI-powered intelligence layer for the material world. Its platform helps manufacturers, product developers, and procurement teams choose the right materials, discover new applications for existing ones, and diversify suppliers - compressing sourcing timelines from roughly 12 months to about 5 days. Using graph neural networks and combinatorial matching, XTRIUM aims to be the central hub of a materials research, development, and sourcing ecosystem.

Malur Narayan is the CEO and co-founder of XTRIUM, an Austin-based B2B AI startup building an intelligence layer for materials that matches materials to real-world applications, surfaces sourcing risk, and turns supply chains from fragile to resilient. A computer engineer who was running machine-learning research and self-managed software teams in the early 1990s, he spent three decades scaling technology businesses across five continents at Nortel and Tata Consultancy Services before co-founding two AI startups. He frames XTRIUM around a single idea: making the search for a new application for any material as fast and easy as an internet search, compressing what used to take a year into days.
