Olapool
[edit]Olapool (www.olapool.com)is an Indian rental marketplace platform that primarily focuses on media production equipment, home appliances, furniture, and electronics. The platform was founded by Mohammed Afsal and officially launched in June 2024, after starting as a bootstrapped startup in February 2020.
Overview
[edit]Olapool is designed to facilitate the rental of various items by connecting store owners with potential renters. The platform allows users to find, book, and rent products online through both web and mobile applications. Olapool's service is available across India, offering a wide range of products for rent, including high-demand items like cameras, lenses, home electronics, and furniture.
Features
[edit]- Store Creation: Store owners can create and manage their stores on Olapool, where they can list their products, set rental prices, and establish rental terms. Each store has its own unique URL, along with a store view on the main Olapool platform.
- Product Listing: Products can be listed with detailed descriptions, pricing, and rental conditions. The platform supports various rental durations, including hourly, daily, and monthly rentals.
- Booking Process: Users can search for products based on their location, select the desired rental duration, and see the total price before booking. The platform includes a chat feature that allows renters to communicate directly with store owners to discuss rental details.
- Verification System: Olapool has a multi-level user verification system to ensure secure transactions. Users are verified through phone, email, Aadhaar, and driving license before they can rent products.
- Payment and Wallet System: Payments are handled through a wallet system, where the rental booking amount is credited to the store owner's wallet. The platform charges a 5% fee on top of the rental amount and manages the payment of GST for GST-registered stores.

- Delhivery Integration: Olapool is in the process of integrating with Delhivery to streamline the logistics and delivery of rented items.
Business Model
[edit]Olapool generates revenue through platform fees and transaction charges. Store owners are responsible for setting their own rental prices, which are influenced by factors such as product condition, demand, and rental duration. Olapool charges a platform fee on each transaction, and GST is applicable for GST-registered stores.
Growth and Expansion
[edit]Since its launch, Olapool has rapidly expanded its presence across India, offering a comprehensive rental service for a wide range of products. The platform is particularly popular among media professionals and content creators who require high-quality equipment without the upfront cost of purchasing.
Future Plans

The company is also exploring opportunities to enter new rental markets beyond its current focus on media equipment and home appliances.
