Arun Pattnaik's Story
Based in the Spark Incubator, Nexus, Xelorian is a dynamic business consulting firm specialising in innovation, cutting-edge technology, and the exploration of new market opportunities.
Xelorian empowers companies to navigate and thrive in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape by providing expert guidance on adopting transformative technologies, optimising business processes, and identifying strategic growth avenues. Among its offerings, Xelorian integrates Salesforce CRM to streamline client engagement, boost sales performance, and unlock actionable business insights. One of Xelorian's flagship innovations is its AI-powered cybersecurity solution, which helps clients proactively defend against evolving digital threats through intelligent threat detection and adaptive protection strategies.
Coming from Odisha an eastern state of India and working in different countries, the journey for Arun, a Strategic Business Management MBA graduate from University of Leeds, hasn't always been smooth.
“When we first embarked on building our tech consulting and solutions platform, we faced numerous hurdles — from navigating a competitive industry to managing resources as a small, passionate team. But rather than seeing these challenges as setbacks, we treated them as opportunities to innovate.”
A major early challenge was establishing a clear market position. With so many technology solutions available, differentiation was critical. By focusing on bespoke agile transformation and strategic product development, Xelorian carved out a unique niche—helping companies navigate the complexities of digital transformation through tailored, client-centric solutions.
Xelorian is proud to be part of the third cohort of the Innovative Entrepreneurs Programme, an initiative led by the Mayor of West Yorkshire. Supported by a £6 million investment, this program empowers entrepreneurs across the region to scale their businesses globally.
“As a member of the Spark community, Xelorian thrives in a collaborative environment that actively supports innovation and growth. Spark has been instrumental in providing access to legal, operational, and technical resources, as well as a vibrant network of experts and peers. This supportive ecosystem has enabled Xelorian to scale effectively, refine its offerings, and consistently deliver world-class services to its clients.”
