Airzai: The Hottest Tech Startup Taking The Fragrance World By Storm
Started by two passionate brothers who have a knack for creating game changing products, Airzai is a tech company founded by Nabeel and Muneeb Mushtaq that began with the commitment to disrupt the age-old fragrance industry with its state-of-the-art technology and forward-thinking products.
You may know about home fragrance diffusers and how they can give your home a calming, scentsy vibe, but most of the products currently on the market are high maintenance and use unreliable essential oils with little to no customizable options. Enter Airzai Aroma by Airzai, the first smart home product of its kind that is revolutionizing the way fragrances are used in the everyday home. With the help of AI technology, Airzai Aroma allows users to activate and control the device with their voice when connected to Amazon Alexa or Google Assist, and has customizable scent, light, and scheduling options.
While this start-up may be Canadian, the two brothers who have created it are proud Pakistanis who have single-handedly introduced a new way to bring a rich 21st century solution to the fragrance industry and fill the gap in consumer needs. By using its very own Swiss fragrances made up of all natural and premium ingredients, consumers can feel like their home is a hotel and relish in the ultimate fragrance experience.
In addition to their beautifully designed home fragrance diffuser, the brothers in light of the current pandemic, also introduced Airzai Care to help with the growing need for self-care products. The line includes both an air and surface disinfectant which are made from all natural ingredients, gentle on the body and environment, and kill 99.9 percent of germs including COVID-19.
“Airzai Care is perfect not just for every room in your home, but also cars, gyms, public restrooms, hotel rooms, and any other surface. Because COVID-19 is an airborne virus, you never know where it is, so it is imperative that we take the appropriate precautions to disinfect our surroundings no matter where we are,” said Airzai CEO and co-founder, Muneeb Mushtaq
After successfully raising $4 million in start-up funds for Airzai, Nabeel and Muneeb Mushtaq are already looking at ways they can bring their product to consumers in the Middle East and disrupt the industry.
Not only do the brothers want to tap into this growing market, but they also want to create jobs and source local top talent to grow their brand. They are also looking to open offices in Dubai and Pakistan by the end of the year

The nominees for Lux Style Awards 2020 are…
The LUX Style Awards office announced nominations in 28 categories this week for the year 2019. Nominations in the categories of Fashion, Film, Music and Television were announced for the 19th LUX Style Awards.
Due to the pandemic, the voting with the jurors for the four categories was conducted online, and overseen by auditors, PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC).
Earlier this year, the LUX Style Awards team had announced a postponement of the annual event and pledged to support those in the entertainment and fashion industry impacted the most by the on-going pandemic. LSA redirected show funds and partnered with the Akhuwat Foundation, to support the impacted members of these industries.
Asima Haq, Director, Beauty and Personal Care at Unilever Pakistan says, “Conceived 20 years ago as a platform focused on celebrating and promoting the entertainment and fashion industries of the country, the LUX Style Awards are considered the epitome of glamour in Pakistan. Earlier this year, we took a call to redirect funds to support those who have worked tirelessly to make LSA the legacy that it is today. Through this decision, we were able to support some of the groups in the entertainment industry that were worst impacted by the pandemic.
However, keeping up with the LSA vision of honoring and recognizing exceptional work in the fields of fashion, music, television and drama, we will be awarding the coveted LSA trophies to the winners this year.”
The LUX Style Awards is an annual event held to honour the best in the fields of Fashion, Film, Music and television. The winners for the 19th LUX Style Awards will be announced in a befitting virtual ceremony later this year.
