Meet Flent 👋🏼

Renting in India can be a nightmare. Think about it: visiting countless houses, arguing over rent, losing money to brokers, sticking to 11-month contracts, and spending lakhs of rupees into furnishing. It's a lot, and honestly, we deserve better.

Here's where Flent comes in. We're creating a new standard of urban renting for India.

Imagine walking into a home that feels like it’s straight out of a lifestyle magazine - fully furnished, beautifully staged, all you need to bring is your suitcase. No need for deposits, no dealing with brokers, and no 11-month lock-ins. It’s not just a vision; it’s what we believe the top 1% in India truly deserves.

We started Flent because we were fed up. Trying to find a decent place in the city was a nightmare. But beyond the frustration was a deep-seated passion for home decor and an eye for detail that we couldn't ignore. Numbers revealed that ~$10 Bn is spent annually on urban renting — and that was the tipping point. It convinced us of the potential to craft the future of renting, designed for those who demand more and compromise less.

Flent is backed by top-tier micro VCs and angels. Since our inception 6 months ago, we’ve made significant strides, operating in Bangalore with 15 properties and securing enough runway for the next two years

About The Role

We're on the lookout to build our core squad - our first few hires who will not only fuel our growth but potentially lead Flent into the future. It’s not going to be easy. The growth curve will be steep. Your work-life balance might take a hit, and there’ll be days you’ll wonder why you signed up for this. But we promise you, it'll be a ride of a lifetime :)

As a Business Ops Manager, it’s your vision that will create super efficient supply chain and warehousing solutions. Your job will be to make sure that every property we set up, gets the required inventory at the right time, in low cost.

What you’ll broadly do:

• Run Warehouses: Manage and maintain warehouses for Flent. We buy a lot of inventory on a daily basis and it’ll be your job to make sure it’s reachable within a matter of a minute. The quality of our homes is directly proportional to the quality of furnishings we put, so a great part of the job would be maintaining that standard and making sure that we never go out of stock.
• Procure Furniture: Find people who can create what you can think, at manufacturing costs. Build relationships and maintain deal pipelines for on-time fulfilment. Maintain a web of vendors to fulfil for furniture, handlooms, appliances, etc. In short, go shopping like a pro.
• Thrift: Thrifting interesting items helps us maintain the uniqueness of our homes by adding an unknown entropy in the system. Keep an eye out for all kinds of second hand marketplaces because somewhere, someone is selling something amazing at a jaw dropping cost at all times!
• Maintain Quality: Procurement or thrifting new items everyday invites the need for strong standard and quality checks, because our customers deserve the best. This will include creating strong processes to ensure every item fits a standard quality and if not, is refurbished such that it meets those standards.

What your day-to-day will look like:

• Execute inbound/outbound orders.
• Tag inventory and create logical hygiene in the system.
• Think warehousing from first principles and create new solutions from scratch.
• Create workflows and specifications to manage orders in the minimum time possible.
• Organise and maintain inventory flow, warehousing and efficient transportation.
• Create a custom designed, cosy and kick-ass home for people like us, every time!
