It all started the way it usually starts: three engineers, a startup idea, quit their jobs with no real savings.
Except in this case, its about - no fancy AI, no cutting-edge software, no deep-tech stuff, just good old passion for turning houses into homes.

Lamps are different, but light is the same
March 2023 - Mayank and Shail, friends from their IIT Kharagpur days, decided to deck up a house to build some passive income. They leased a lackluster 2 BHK in Bellandur, one of Bangalore’s hotspots. After two intense days of furniture hunting, countless cups of coffee, and several 'wow, this looks awesome' moments, it was ready to go-live. And it was a big hit, rented out in just 24 hours!

After repeating this success with a couple more transformations, they realized it wasn’t a fluke. This wasn't just about decking up houses; it was about reinventing the rental experience. The traditional approach to renting is broken. We’ve all been there - tiring house visits, cringe brokers, hidden charges, hefty deposits, lock-in periods, and the hassle of setting up an entire house from scratch. It’s too old school.

Our First House Transformation
Instead, what Flent offered was a lifestyle revolution. Just step into a fully furnished, fully loaded, beautifully designed home – no commitments, no deposits, and absolutely no hassle.
Shortly after, they teamed up with Rishabh, Shail's friend, who was a veteran in the rental game. Picture a guy who's seen it all: the loans, the EMIs, the endless cycle of setting up home after home in every new place he moved to. When Rishabh encountered the Flent concept, he recognized its 10X potential right away. And just like that, came together to make 'flenting' a thing.
