After the founders, Jagminder and Babita left college to start working in Pune, they realised it was a struggle to run a basic functional household, which could be any closer to a 'home', after a hard day. Those days there werenot many furnished accommodations available. Buying furniture, apart from basic kitchen necessities, was aspirational. It was not worth the money, time or effort plus in the dynamics, they never knew how much of it would be utilized and the thought stayed with them. It was in 2016 that one day over coffee, they managed to connect the dots to come up with renting as the most viable proposition for the new age. This low investment high benefit offering made even more sense for businesses that today dwell in extremely buoyant and dynamic environments. Very soon the hypothesis was validated through few surveys and A2zOnRent was born.

They grew the model to provide and service IT Equipment and Furniture for the SMEs and midsize corporates.

The latest and a very exciting new dimension to A2zOnRent offering are the new age Commercial Kitchens, where they are

focused on delivering the set up and maintenance of kitchen spaces.
