Our Story

Hi, I’m Khushbu!

In November 2020, I was anticipating celebrating Diwali with a relative for the first time. Unfortunately, Covid disrupted our plans, and we had to settle for a video call instead. This was our first Diwali spent social distancing. During the call, my relative showed me her beautifully decorated home, and I took note of the colored LED tealights, or "diyo(s)," she had placed around the house. Not realizing that those candles were LED during our FaceTime chat, I decided to purchase some for her as a gift for the following Diwali in 2021.

To my surprise, I couldn’t find them anywhere! After discovering that they were, in fact, LED, I embarked on a year-long journey to develop the candles myself as a fun passion project. Thus, Avauré was born.

With a background and degree in Chemistry, and experience in product development, I began formulating the candle myself. As a passionate candle lover, this product idea thrilled me.

Previously, I worked in R&D departments for two of the largest consumer goods companies, which gave me the itch to create a product of my own.
