With the wedding season around the corner, there is a lot of excitement and anticipation in the air. From pre-wedding shoots to beautiful destination weddings, social media timelines get into a mad frenzy of innovative hashtagging and wedding memorabilia every year during this time.

 The image of a perfect Indian wedding today is governed by a lot of stereotypes like the perfect wedding dress, the quintessential <keyword id="819905" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Instagram">Instagram</keyword> and Snapchat filters, stunning destinations, outstanding decor and dreamy photoshoots. 
 However, this wedding season, <keyword id="2778113" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rentomojo">RentoMojo</keyword> had invited all its consumers to an extremely unconventional and quirky wedding-#PriyaWedsSofa. This campaign features Priya, a character who is a modern enthusiastic young working professional who has powerful dreams, is extremely confident, dynamic and talented in an own way. Her job requires her to travel across various cities quite often. 
 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
	
		The truth is out...<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PriyaWedsSofa?src=hash">#PriyaWedsSofa</a> because she *bought* one. 
		Just rent furniture instead... save commitment for things that matter! <a href="https://t.co/W2kuFwHtHR">pic.twitter.com/W2kuFwHtHR</a>

However, each time she chooses a piece of furniture for her new home, she goes through the emotional topsy-turvy of not wanting to part with it and therefore feels totally married to it. This new campaign of RentoMojo #PriyaWedsSofa is a satire targeting the mindset of getting married to a piece of furniture for years without wanting to part with it, even though it means high relocation costs and the same boring interiors year on year. The campaign creatively builds awareness about accessing a particular lifestyle without actually owning it. 
 
<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/online-cab-players-in-2016-completed-nearly-half-a-billion-rides-with-250-y-o-y-growth-in-india/articleshow/57273938.cms">ALSO READ: Online cab players in 2016 completed nearly half a billion rides with 250% y-o-y growth in India</a> 
 
We operate in a world where the meaning of ownership and commitments have drastically changed. Through this campaign they wanted to bust the mindset that marriage is only about vows between two individuals; unknowingly we get married to a lot of inanimate objects in our everyday lives which tie us down and demand long-term commitments just like any other relationship. 
 
With Rentomojo – you skip the negativity of purchase. You choose the furniture, appliance or even bike you want for now, and own it till as long as you want to.

Online fashion rental platform Flyrobe has raised around $1.7million in seed funding led by <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Sequoia+Capital&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Sequoia Capital</a>. The deal was closed last year and the official announcement is expected to be made later this month.

The filings show Zishaan Hayath, co-founder of Powai Lake Ventures, and Abhishek Jain, former associate director at Temasek Holdings Advisors India were the other investors 
. 
What’s so special? Mumbai-based Flyrobe is an on-demand apparel rental platform that offers premium designer wear and branded outfits on rent. The company has joined hands with designer labels like Outhouse, Masaba Gupta, <keyword id="667" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ritu-Kumar">Ritu Kumar</keyword> and Shehla Khan. 
 
Who are these people? 
Omapal Technologies, the company that runs Flyrobe was founded in September 2015 by IIT Bombay alumni Shreya Mishra, Pranay Surana and Tushar Saxena. The founders – Sh 
reya Mishra, Pranay Surana, and Tushar Saxena have come together over the belief that ‘shared economy’ in fashion can work wonders. 
 
Before starting Flyrobe, Mishra was working as an analyst with Everstone Capital, Surana has earlier worked as a senior analyst at Deutsche Bank and Saxena was earlier chief technology officer at Triptainment Technologies. 
 
Troubled times for Sector 
The apparel rental space has been facing tough times recently.

Others startups operating in this space include Revamp My Closet, which was also recently acqui-hired by Spoyl, another online platform. 
 
Big Money to be made, apparently 
<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=PricewaterhouseCoopers&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">PricewaterhouseCoopers</a> estimates the global sharing economy will grow from $15 billion today to $335 billion by 2025. However, its yet to pick up big time when it comes to apparel. Transportation, accommodation, and food and beverages sectors are doing better. 
 
Flyrobe estimates the fashion rental market, including western and ethnic wear is worth $4-5 billion today. 
 
Rental economy picking up? 
In India, the idea of rented apparel has been reserved to graduation, fancy dress competitions and theme parties. 
 
However, as large scale immigration to bigger cities across the country picks up, investor interest too is growing. Back in November, furniture rental company <a href="https://www.rentomojo.com/" target="_blank">RentoMojo</a> raised $2 million in funding and Klozee raised a seed round from TracxnLabs and angels in August.

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/52884185.cms" /> 
The furniture market in India is worth $16 billion. The furniture and appliances rental is estimated only at a third of that. However, while the sector is growing at a sizeable 25% month-on-month, only 2% of the industry is currently online. 
 
With sharing economy being on the rise across sectors, the country has seen over 13 startups coming into the space in 2015 alone. The names include Wheelstreet, Etashee, Rentickle and Rentsetgo among others. 
 
<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Rentomojo&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Rentomojo</a> is among these startups. It is a marketplace that offers furniture, furnishings, appliances and other home verticals that house hunters can book at affordable rentals. It works on an asset-light model, and makes anything from 40-50% of the rental fee as commission on every booking, with the rest going to the vendor. 
 
The company is currently in the market to raise fresh rounds. It raised $2 million in pre-Series A funding from Accel Partners and IDG Ventures India last year.

Why could have caused the boom in <keyword id="3438857" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="online-rental">online rental</keyword> startups? 
As soon as an industry starts making money, people start trying to get in. This industry is here to stay because India is an income-constraint economy, with a maximum of 30-40k disposable income. That’s exactly why several <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=e-commerce&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">e-commerce</a> companies are suffering. 
 
There is also a bunch of migration from tier II and tier III to tier I cities. This is because of the renewed cash flow and new opportunities being created. People are changing cities every 3 years. Combine the mobility quotient with the income constraint, and you’ll see the renting model making a lot of sense. 
 
Owning vs. renting in the long term. 
When you think of the long term, renting does lose to owning after a certain period. However, our consumer is typically somebody who’s looking to have it for 12-16 months. Also, as we go forward as a company we’ll experiment with 24-48 months rental periods. We’ll continue to offer price bands that will seem lucrative to you. 
 
OLX and Quikr are going pretty hard on add-ons and advertising. <keyword id="864887" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Pepperfry">Pepperfry</keyword> and <keyword id="2539960" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Urbanladder">UrbanLadder</keyword> now have EMI options. Are you worried? 
Our target segment is against the ownership model. You are bound to pay a pending EMI. However, renting allows you the flexibility to come out when you want. 
 
Inherently, rentals will always be lesser than EMI. That’s simple math. A <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Pepperfry&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Pepperfry</a> or <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=UrbanLadder&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">UrbanLadder</a> will have a sourcing cost, a gross margin and a final market price. However, our rental costs will always be lower as they are based on the sourcing cost, and not the market value. 
 
For second hand buying, from a unit economics perspective, I don’t know how lucrative a business it is to be in if you’re making money from relocation. 
 
Why not own some furniture? 
As the industry matures, we’ll be deploying several crore units a month. It’s not going to be scalable. Also, owning also comes with an inherent risk. 
 
The ease of operating a marketplace model is why we replicated it. That’s why our unit economics have been positive from day 1.

New Delhi, Feb 27 () Shared economy in India is poised to become a USD 2 billion industry by the end of the year, a report by Maple Capital Advisors said on Thursday. Also, such services attracted about USD 3.5 billion worth of private equity, and USD 262 million in mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) between 2015-19, the report titled 'Shared Economy - India Story' said. The sector, predominantly driven by shared mobility, co-working, co-living and furniture rentals, is pegged to be an about USD 2 billion industry in the organised-end and growing in double digits, it said. In 2019, the segment was estimated to be about USD 1.5 billion in size in India. Shared economy includes segments like co-working (Awfis, WeWork India), co-living (Stanza Living, OYO Life, Oxford Caps), shared mobility (Uber, Ola, Shuttl) and furniture rental (Furlenco, Rentomojo.) "High mobile penetration, high millennial concentration, and an aspirational population, Asia has highest willingness to use shared assets. India mirrors Asia trends in these aspects and is thus, poised for high growth and adoption of shared services," it added. Maple Capital Advisors Managing Director Pankaj Karna said India is at the cusp of a shared economy revolution. "We are already witnessing phenomenal growth in this segment with both international companies and home-grown start-ups vying for market share. Even as the space is nascent over USD 3.7 billion has been invested in this space," he said. Karna added that this is expected to accelerate on the back of compelling demand and unit economics.

somtMillennials are quite defiant if you go by the society’s standards- they don’t want to invest in a future; whether it is a profession, a partner or even a home. When so many young people prefer to rent a house when they move between cities- buying furniture wherever they go isn’t a viable option. In that situation, Indian start-ups like <keyword id="2085884" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Furlenco">Furlenco</keyword> and Rentomojo are giving an alternative option to the Indians migrating to cities.

 Furlenco, in particular is setting new industry standards in the renting space by making sure the designs are also user inspired, which truly enhances the customers’ lives and their homes. One of their offering called ‘Bounce' is not just a bed or a lounger; it comes with lots of fun soft furnishing like large cushions, a lamp that doubles up as a coat / bag hanger, fun sheets it even has inbuilt wire-management system, which makes it a party station for a group of friends at night as well as a cozy corner to spend a lazy and rejuvenating Sunday afternoon with the family. They also provide customers with full-customization on any of their furniture that they can let go once they've used it.

 Being headquartered in Bangalore, Furlenco operates in the cities of Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and Gurugram. Ajith Karimpana, CEO and Founder, Furlenco told Business Insider that the growth of furniture-on-rent has been fuelled by the influx of millenials shifting to the cities for work, “People start with makeshift arrangements when they move to a new city but the goal is to still make it feel like a home. Buying good quality furniture means blocking their finances for an asset that is depreciating and can’t be easily moved to another city. We try to provide our subscribers with a personal touch by connecting them with an agent who takes care of their household needs.”
