“The idea was to evolve the average power bank, and through it, redefine your portable charging experience. We wanted the device to seamlessly exist in your life,” Co-Founder and Engineer of Xyra, Arzan Irani, said. “To do this, it was imperative to design a charger that fits into a person’s existing patterns of behavior, and so we developed the XS powercard: a smart-charger for your smartphone”, he added.

Xyra has chosen to launch the device through Indiegogo, an international crowd-funding website, price ranging from $34 for a XS powercard. It is a conglomerate of devices that Xyra believes people need to stay connected to their digital world. “We chose to launch our product on Indiegogo to meet our capital expenditures as well as fund a major portion of our production, operational and marketing costs,” Co-Founder and Finance head of Xyra, Armaan Gandhi, said. “We have our final prototypes fully functional and combat-ready. Xyra is looking to raise $50,000 to kickoff production on a large scale and is offering a discount of up to 35 percent off the future retail price on Indiegogo.”
