Company

The atelier, engineered.

Gelian (Pvt) Ltd. builds web-based, AI-powered marker-making and nesting software for the apparel industry — focused on the single step that decides how much fabric a collection actually costs, for the fashion houses that set the standard and the production partners who deliver it.

Vision

To be who apparel manufacturers turn to for marker making and nesting — closing the gap between the 70–80% efficiency most cutting rooms accept and the 85–90% that's actually achievable.

Mission

To build AI-powered marker-making and nesting software that runs entirely in the browser — so the most time- and fabric-consuming step in production takes minutes, not a full shift.

Our approach
01
One bottleneck, done right
We don't try to be every tool in the workflow. Marker making and nesting are where fabric is actually won or lost, so that's where we've put the depth — built entirely for the browser, without the standalone installs and version mismatches of traditional CAD software.
02
AI where it matters
Marka builds a marker from a description in minutes; Ultranest nests it for the best efficiency in the industry and shows you the number before you commit. Your team spends its time on the decisions that need a person, not the repeatable ones.
03
Data you can act on
Efficiency and consumption data surface as they are generated, in interfaces built for the decision at hand — not buried in a report you pull at the end of the week.

Every percentage point of marker efficiency is fabric that was never cut and never wasted — margin protected before a single yard reaches the table.
