IPO Overview
Incorporated in April 2012, Rentomojo Limited is a technology-driven, full-stack direct-to-consumer (D2C) online rental and subscription platform for furniture and appliances in India. The company provides consumers with affordable, flexible, and long-term subscription plans for home furniture and appliances, enabling them to rent, return, upgrade, and relocate products without the need for large upfront purchases or long-term ownership commitments. Its product portfolio includes essential home products such as beds, mattresses, washing machines, refrigerators, wardrobes, sofas, televisions, and water purifiers, comprising 8,51,184 live items as of March 31, 2026. It is the largest online rental platform in this category based on live subscribers and subscription revenue in Fiscal 2025.
Rentomojo IPO is a book-built IPO worth ₹1,255.57 crore. The price band is ₹384–₹404 per share. The IPO opens on September 9, 2026 and closes on September 11, 2026, and will be listed on BSE and NSE. Of the total issue size of ₹1,255.57 crore, only ₹150 crore is a fresh issue, while ₹1,105.57 crore is an OFS — meaning nearly 88% of the IPO proceeds will go to existing shareholders rather than the company.

Objects of the Issue (Fund Utilization)
Of the fresh capital raised, Rentomojo proposes to spend ₹70 crore on repayment or prepayment of borrowings, including accrued interest. Another ₹42.5 crore will be used towards lease rentals and licence fees for warehouses and experience stores, with the balance going towards general corporate purposes.
- Repayment / prepayment of existing borrowings — ₹70 crore
- Payment of lease rental / licence fee for warehouses and experience stores — ₹42.5 crore
- General corporate purposes — remaining proceeds
Note: Not one rupee of fresh capital from this IPO is allocated to growing the rental fleet, which is the core business. This is balance sheet repair and operating cost pre-funding, not a growth raise.

Promoters & Management
The sole promoter of Rentomojo Limited is Geetansh Bamania. He is the founder of the company and has been instrumental in building India’s largest furniture and appliance rental platform since its inception in 2012.
A former co-founder has filed an NCLT petition seeking to halt the listing — a legal challenge that investors should be aware of.

Financial Snapshot
| Period | Revenue (₹ Cr) | PAT (₹ Cr) |
| FY25 | ₹267.40 (approx) | ₹43.10 (approx) |
| FY26 | ₹386.98 | ₹104.30 |
Key Financial Metrics
- Revenue increased by 45% and PAT rose by 142% between FY25 and FY26.
- ROCE stood at 25.34% in FY26. Borrowings were around ₹258.3 crore as of June 2026.
- Post-issue P/E is approximately 40.73x and price-to-book value is 14.10x at the upper price of ₹404 — a demanding valuation despite strong earnings growth.
- Market capitalisation at upper price band: ₹4,246.30 crore.
- Consistently profitable D2C player since Fiscal 2023.
Company Strengths
- Largest online furniture and appliance rental platform in India based on live subscribers and subscription revenue in Fiscal 2025.
- Predictable recurring revenues and high return on capital employed, backed by an omni-channel presence through both online platform and physical experience stores.
- Asset-lifecycle model with multi-cycle redeployment — products are refurbished and re-rented multiple times, improving asset ROI significantly.
- Marquee institutional investors and established sponsorship base, including Accel, Edelweiss, and other marquee venture and PE funds.
- Strong revenue and profitability trajectory — revenue grew 45% and PAT grew 142% in FY26, reflecting operating leverage kicking in at scale.
- Expansion through experience stores and multi-city presence supports deeper urban penetration and long-term subscriber growth.
Key Risks & Challenges
- IPO structure is heavily OFS-driven — nearly 88% of proceeds go to existing shareholders. Only ₹150 crore of the ₹1,255.57 crore raised goes to the company, and none of it is for fleet expansion.
- A former co-founder has filed an NCLT petition seeking to halt the listing — an active legal challenge that adds uncertainty ahead of the listing date.
- Post-issue P/E of ~40.73x and price-to-book of 14.10x represent demanding valuation levels despite strong earnings growth, leaving limited margin of safety for investors.
- The headline 34% profit margin is largely a one-time tax credit; the real underlying margin is closer to 16%, and ROCE has declined sharply from 39.2% to 12.3% in recent years.
- Promoter and several large VC/PE investors are exiting simultaneously through OFS — raising concerns about insider confidence in the company’s near-term outlook.
- Business depends heavily on maintaining high asset occupancy rates and managing refurbishment and logistics costs efficiently — any slip in occupancy or cost control can significantly impact profitability.
