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.
This is 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 clothes and your vibe. No need to persuade landlords, 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 VCs and angels. Since our inception in Jan’24, we’ve launched 110+ homes in Bangalore, went viral on X more than we imagined, and crossed $1,000,000 in annual GMV.Hey — I’m Rishabh, co-founder & COO at Flent. I lead all things tech, platform, and cashflow here.

If you've rented in an Indian metro, you know the drill. You open 40 tabs, run 12 WhatsApp threads, take 3 broker calls, and still move in with doubt. You never know what's real. The photos, the pricing, the deposit math, the landlord's temperament.
What's broken isn't discovery. It's confidence. At Flent, we're productising every layer of the renting decision until it feels as predictable as any modern consumer experience.
Sometimes, trust also breaks after move-in. Delays, miscommunication, refund edge cases, vendor misses, escalations that repeat because systems don't remember. Every "let me check and get back" is a system failure wearing a human face.
This role exists to kill that class of problem with software.
We're also not building software the old way. We're rewiring our stack around AI—not as a feature, but as infrastructure. Every engineer here will ship at a rate that wasn't possible two years ago. I'm looking for people who want to figure that out with me.
You'll sit where the truth lives: ops, CX, supply, on-ground execution. You'll see what breaks first, what repeats most, and what costs trust. Then you'll build the tools, automations, and platform fixes that permanently eliminate those failures.
Most engineers optimise for clean inputs and well-scoped problems. This role is the opposite. You'll work with messy reality - WhatsApp threads, vendor no-shows, payment mismatches, manually tracked SLAs - and turn that into software that makes the mess go away. If you need a product spec before you can start, this isn't the role.
