{Funding alert} Amaani bags $5 mn Series A round led by BECO Capital. Amaani, a consumer-focused beauty and wellness company from the Middle East and parent of beauty brand AÏZA, has secured $5 million in a Series A funding round led by BECO Capital, with participation from Homegrown Ventures and Peak XV's Surge. With the latest investment, Amaani's total funding has reached $8 million. The company previously raised $3 million in seed funding from Peak XV's Surge in 2025. The newly raised capital will be directed toward expanding AÏZA's presence across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, with Saudi Arabia identified as the brand's immediate growth focus. AÏZA is scheduled to debut in Ulta Beauty stores in Jeddah and Riyadh by the end of September, while market entries into Kuwait and Qatar are planned during the fourth quarter. Founded in Dubai in 2023 by Shubham Poddar, Amaani introduced AÏZA in December 2024 as a beauty brand inspired by regional ingredients and traditions from the Arab world. The portfolio spans skincare and haircare products formulated with ingredients including dates, black seed, frankincense, rose, and bakhoor. The company develops its formulations through laboratory partnerships in Korea, Japan, and Italy, combining regional inspiration with international product development expertise. Among AÏZA's key offerings are the Sukkar Rush lip treatment, Scent Storm hair mist, and Date Setter brow & lash serum. The brand states that all products are vegan, cruelty-free, alcohol-free, and aligned with "Clean at Sephora" standards. According to the company, AÏZA recorded more than nine-fold year-on-year growth in net revenue during the first half of 2026, driven by its transition from an online-first business model to a broader retail presence. The brand currently sells through its own website as well as retail platforms including Ounass and Ulta Beauty in the UAE. Amaani said AÏZA is ranked among the top 10 brands within Ulta Beauty UAE's portfolio, which includes more than 300 international and regional brands. Operating in the premium beauty and wellness segment, AÏZA competes with established regional players such as Huda Beauty, Kayali, and The Giving Movement as it continues to scale its footprint across the Middle East.
