  • About

    Furlenco

    Furlenco
  • Pitched to be one of the top markets for the furnishing industry, an interesting trend that began in India was of renting furniture.

    One of the start-up companies that worked on this idea was Furlenco, which started out under a different name, RentUrDuniya.

    The start-up was founded by a former Goldman Sachs Vice President, Ajith Karimpana, in October 2011.

  • Objectives and aims

    Furlenco's beginnings

    Furlenco's beginnings
  • Furlenco was targeting the Indian millenials and others who looked to rent furniture that suited the user's taste, but without creating a huge expense for the customer.

    Another objective that the company targeted was to cater to people who often relocated.

    Disposing the old furniture is often pitched to be hard for those who relocate, and Furlenco aimed to cash in on this.

  • Quote

    Furlenco's economic rental tariffs

  • "Furlenco earns its revenue by renting out furniture items. We own and hold the inventory. Customers typically pay just about 3-4% of the retail price of furniture item per month. The life of a seasoned well-designed solid wood item is anywhere between 15-50 years."-Ajith Karimpana

    The funds were raised via Lightbox Ventures, who came in as one of the start-up's investors.
