Our Story
Airzon fans are based on Brushless DC technology. These fans are 100% made in India by Canfan Private Limited.
Airzon fans are a result of our true commitment to Make In India initiative, with in-house innovation in motor and electronic design and development.
We have a very active and vibrant supplier ecosystem in India to support our efforts. Today, Canfan manufacturers industrial air circulator fans, exhaust fans, transformer coolings fans and also exports its ceiling fans to Europe and USA.
Our strong background and experience in innovation and manufacturing comes with the support of our parent company, On Load Gears – manufacturer of On Load Tap changers with 50% market share in the country.
OLG has been in existence for the past 40 years, supplying to Fortune 500 companies. This has resulted in a very lean and high quality organisation in Canfan, with promoters S.V.Gopalen and Ram C. Sekar hands on, driving product development.

Our journey
While innovating approaches to make solar power more energy-efficient and cost-effective, Sekar and Gopalen realized that traditional ceiling fans
- Consumed a significant amount of energy in most homes
- In hot areas, the fans operated for long periods, adding to the energy burden
- Traditional fans performed poorly when the voltage was low, exacerbating the issue
