Cuzor Labs said it focuses on building high-performance, thoughtfully designed consumer electronic products. The startup, which leads the Mini UPS category with a 41% market share, has now entered the fast-charging segment with GaN chargers.

Cuzor claims that the Cuzor Pulse 70W is India’s first GaNSense-based 70W charger that is fully designed, engineered, and manufactured domestically.

“While ‘Designed in India’ is a proud label, our goal is to compete globally on product merit, features, and quality — and be recognised for that,” said Sachin D Naik, Founder and CEO, Cuzor Labs.

“That’s the true validation we seek for our engineered-in-India products. We’re delighted to have the backing of Mr. Ramesh Kannan, a stalwart of India’s electronics industry, whose investment in Cuzor is a huge vote of confidence in our vision.”

According to the startup, the Cuzor Pulse 70W charger features multiple category-first innovations. It delivers up to 70W peak output, with intelligent dual-port distribution that allocates up to 25W for smartphones instead of the regular 20W, allowing 25% faster charging even when two devices are plugged in.

This is the first 70W GaN charger to feature charging status LEDs for each port, offering a subtle breathing effect that reflects real-time charging speed. As the connected device approaches a full charge, the LED transitions to a steady glow, giving users an at-a-glance view of charging progress.

Powered by Navitas GaNSense Gen 4 IC, the Pulse 70W boasts 91% peak efficiency, low heat generation, and a high power density of 11.97 W/in³. The charger features full silicone potting and a robust polycarbonate enclosure for durability.

It is compatible with PD 3.0, PPS, QC2.0, and QC3.0 protocols and supports a wide range of devices, including iPhone 16 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Pixel 8 Pro, MacBook Air/Pro, and Dell XPS laptops.

“I have always believed that Indian engineering and manufacturing can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best in the world,” said Kannan. 

“The Cuzor team has not only demonstrated grit in designing and manufacturing their products end-to-end, but also shown a strong commitment to customers — the kind you typically see with world-class global brands. I’ve been following them since their very first product and have watched them grow steadily and patiently.”
