AeroIQ is a pioneering D2C tech-savvy home-gadget brand from Bangalore, revolutionizing the ceiling fan industry with cutting-edge, futuristic designs that cater to the young and adventurous Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
Our in-house designed, manufactured, and marketed products, including AC and BLDC motor ceiling fans, feature innovative technologies like Auto-Blade Alignment Technology.

AeroIQ was born out of a haunting question - why have circular-module fans dominated the market for decades, with polygonal designs barely making a presence? As we searched for answers and connected the dots, we innovated BLDC technology, which is now creating a whole new dimension for the fan industry. We envision a world where fans are not just appliances, but reflections of one's unique personality and style.
Our mission is to disrupt the market with futuristic, unconventional designs that evolve with the user, celebrating self-expression and individuality across generations. This drive to innovate and push boundaries is what fuels our passion to lead the smart fan industry and make a lasting impact.
We are currently at the initial stage of our startup, having recently received patent grants in India and just completed our prototype and Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
With a strong foundation in place, we're poised to drive innovation and growth in the smart fan industry. Our focus is on bringing our patented, cutting-edge products to market, leveraging our intellectual property portfolio, which includes 4 utility patents and 15+ design patents, with more filings planned.
We're also preparing to apply for PCT applications to solidify our global IP position and expand our presence internationally.
Our Unique Value Propositions include:
