AI + XR built for real operations
Founded on the belief that technology should solve real operational challenges, not create new complexity. We build AI and XR solutions that integrate seamlessly with how teams actually work.
The Mars + Lion Story
How our name reflects our mission and approach
Marlion combines the pioneering spirit of Mars—exploring uncharted frontiers—with the strength and leadership of a Lion. We innovate at the edge of AI and XR, guiding you with confidence through the unknown territories of digital transformation.
Marlion Technologies was started by Prof. S. Vaidyanathan with a focus on game-based education technology. We began by creating interactive learning experiences that made complex concepts accessible and engaging.
As we worked with educational institutions, we discovered that the same principles that made learning effective—immersive experiences, real-time feedback, and adaptive content—could revolutionize how organizations train their teams and optimize their operations.
Today, Marlion spans AI, XR, and IoT solutions for organizations of all sizes. We've maintained our educational roots—every solution we build teaches teams to work better, whether through immersive training, intelligent automation, or data-driven insights.
We believe technology should amplify human capability, not replace it. Our mission is to build AI and XR solutions that make teams more effective, operations more efficient, and work more meaningful.
Our principles

Authenticity
We believe in honest communication, realistic timelines, and transparent pricing. No vanity metrics or inflated promises—just real solutions for real problems.
Engineering Rigor
Every solution is built with enterprise-grade security, scalability, and maintainability. We follow best practices and proven architectures, not experimental approaches.
Value per Rupee
We optimize for maximum operational impact per investment. Our 30-day MVP model ensures you see value quickly and only pay for solutions that work.
Accessibility
