Starting up in India today is fast. Teams grow, roles change, and needs shift every month. Buying everything upfront slows you down. Renting keeps you light. That’s why so many founders pick Rentkar. You get good gear, quick delivery, and no big deposit. Use what you need, return when you’re done, and move on to the next milestone.
Below are three ways startups are using Rentkar every week.
Laptop rentals
Laptops are the first hire. Everyone needs one on Day 1. But buying ten machines at once locks up cash. With Rentkar, it’s simple: pick the spec, pick the city, and get laptops delivered.
If your team is mostly on docs, email, and Zoom, an i5 laptop with 8–16GB RAM and SSD is enough. If you run heavy spreadsheets, Figma, Lightroom, or light editing, go for i7 laptops or Ryzen 7. If you build, render, or train models, grab a dedicated-GPU machine. Many teams choose to rent i5 and i7 laptops and macbooks for startups and businesses because they can scale up or down each month.
Founders also like platform choice. Designers and PMs can take a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Sales and ops can take Windows machines. And you can get them where you work: MacBook Air and Pro rental in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Pune—no need to ship from another city or wait for weeks.
Need gaming-grade performance for simulations or high end 3D work? You can rent a gaming Laptops and monitor in Mumbai towers or high-refresh gaming laptops from Dell G15, Lenovo Legion, MSI, or Asus ROG. Cooling is solid, drivers are current, and support is quick. If a project ends, you just return the hardware. No dead assets on your shelves. No depreciation on your books.
The best part is agility. New teammate joins? Add one more laptop. Feature freeze next month? Drop two. Your stack changes? Swap the spec. Renting lets your tools follow your roadmap, not the other way around.
Content Creation, Camera rentals
Every startup is a media company now. You shoot product demos, founder talks, event reels, and customer stories. Good audio and clean video help people trust you. Buying a full kit on day one rarely makes sense. Renting does.
For crisp photos and interviews, rent DSLR or GoPro 12 camera kits with a fast lens and a basic mic. For BTS, reels, and action shots, GoPro 12, 11 and have it ready with spare batteries, sticky mounts, and a simple tripod. Many teams also take a compact mirrorless body for 4K talking-head videos and a small LED light. It’s a tight setup you can carry in one backpack.
Launch week? Upgrade for a few days. Take a better lens, a gimbal for smooth walks, and a shotgun mic. When the push is over, return the extras and keep only what you use often. That’s the freedom of rentals—no guilt about gear lying idle.
The other perk is freshness. Cameras evolve fast. What was “pro” last year is “mid” this year. Renting means you don’t chase upgrades. You pick what fits the job now. Need slow-mo b-roll? Grab a body that does 120fps. Need low-light? Pick a lens with a wide aperture. You assemble the kit per project, not per purchase.
For founders who want to start vlogging or a podcast, keep it simple, a small mirrorless, a 24–70mm equivalent lens, one light, one mic, one tripod and you are good to go. Shoot in daylight near a window. Talk like you would to a friend. Renting lowers the barrier so you focus on the story, not the shopping.
Weekend sessions at Office
Culture isn’t free snacks. It’s moments. Friday evenings. Launch parties. Small wins that feel big together. Renting turns your office into an event space with zero hassle.
Game night? Rent PS5 with Logitech G29 wheel and run time trials on a big screen. People who never talk across teams suddenly cheer for each other.
Prefer music? Rent karaoke systems with mics and a compact speaker. It’s an easy icebreaker. Product sings with Sales; Ops sings with Design. Laughter does what icebreakers can’t.
You can rotate themes. One month is FIFA. Next month is a quiz projector night. Then a VR evening with Quest headsets. You don’t store any of it. You don’t maintain any of it. You only keep the memories and the photos—shot on the cameras you rented earlier.
This flexibility matters for early-stage teams. Budgets change. Headcount changes. But morale needs a steady pulse. Rentals let you create fresh rituals without buying gear you’ll use twice a year.
Why this approach works
Renting is not cutting corners. It’s cutting friction. You avoid big upfront costs, maintenance, and upgrade anxiety. You stay current. You pay only for the weeks you need. And you align tools with goals.
Three quick rules many founders follow:
- Start lean, then add: Begin with laptop on rent in Mumbai or laptop for rent in Bangalore for the core team. As workloads grow, add higher specs or a rent gaming PC for heavy tasks.
- Create when it counts: For launches, ads, and hiring pushes, rent DSLR camera or rent GoPro 12, 11 and get pro-level output for a fraction of the cost.
- Celebrate together: Mark milestones with rent PS5, racing wheels, or rent karaoke systems. Small events keep teams sticky and proud.
In short: renting is a filter. In one month you can try the right laptops, the right camera kit, and the right team activity—then keep only what truly moves your startup forward. Rentkar makes that loop fast and painless, so your focus stays where it should: building the product, growing the business, and enjoying the ride.
