India-wide release, 26 August 2025: As India advances toward its vision of becoming a $10 trillion economy by 2047, the demand for scalable, future-ready skilling infrastructure has never been so urgent. Addressing this, QWR (Question What’s Real), a leading homegrown deep-tech XR startup, today launched VRone.Pro, an enterprise-grade, standalone 6DoF virtual reality headset fully designed and manufactured in India. VRone.Pro offers a powerful alternative to the over-priced international XR solutions enhancing workforce training, industrial skilling and healthcare simulations. The headset is purpose-built to address India’s widening skills gap, across 14,000+ ITIs, polytechnic institutes and vocational certification programs.

Equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 chipset, 4K-level dual displays (1058 PPI at 90Hz), pancake lenses, and proprietary hand tracking. Despite its powerful specs, it weighs only 350g in an ergonomic frame ensuring comfort during prolonged, high-intensity use. It also features open deployment architecture, free from ecosystem lock-ins and is backed by QWR’s pan-India service support network.

The product builds on QWR’s multi-year expertise in immersive computing, following the successful adoption of VRone.Edu, now deployed in K–12 environments across 19 Indian states and VRone.PC, its tethered headset for gaming and advanced simulation. With VRone.Pro, the company now directly addresses a longstanding gap: the lack of affordable, high-performance VR hardware that meets the rigorous demands of real-world job training.

“With rising global tariffs and the USA trade policies, the global XR hardware supply chain is undergoing a volatile, post-China reset. India can emerge as a credible alternative by building strong production capabilities. QWR is preparing for this paradigm shift. We’re already building a pipeline of advanced manufacturing, planning export compliance and working with ecosystem partners to scale globally. Our vision goes beyond India and VRone.Pro is just the beginning,” says Suraj Aiar, Founder of QWR.

QWR has taken a contrarian, data-backed approach in a global landscape that pushes high-cost Mixed Reality headsets. For every 1000 XR apps built globally, only a few are MR-specific. The overwhelming demand remains VR-first, particularly in serious use cases such as skilling, training, education, and simulations, where fully immersive modules dominate adoption. Sectors like automotive, oil and gas, and manufacturing are shifting towards digital twins, adopting VR-based SOP training to reduce training costs, boost productivity, and improve safety. VRone.Pro directly addresses this with a solution that’s reliable, accessible and ready for scale.

“VRone.Pro is built on clear market insights rather than industry trends. By avoiding unnecessary sensors and mixed reality features, we’ve focused on delivering a streamlined, purpose-built headset. This is where our last mover advantage helped us,” Suraj said. “VRone.Pro is just what’s needed to solve real problems for mass adoption. By enabling real-world simulation at scale, VRone.Pro will bridge India’s skill-employability gap and support the nation’s ambition to become a global manufacturing hub.”

As of 2024, 44.49% of the youth is unemployed and much of the training infrastructure remains outdated. However, early adopters like Vedanta show how VR can improve memory retention, reduce training time and lower operational risk in high-stakes environments like mining. QWR’s VRone.Pro is built to scale such success stories by bringing immersive computing and technology to industries and institutions that need it the most. The headset comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty, optional extended coverage, and AMC support. It is now available to order across the country via QWR’s direct sales, channel partners, and select overseas markets. Deployment support and developer resources are available both online and offline.
