 "Furniture, furniture on rent")
Furniture rental firm Furlenco on Thursday said it aims to double its turnover to Rs 200 crore by December this year, as it is witnessing high growth in the segment, said a top company official.
It is witnessing a month-on-month growth of 84 per cent in its business in the current financial year, as the demand for rentals has gone up, said Furlenco founder and CEO Ajith Mohan Karimpana in a virtual press meet.
The company on Thursday announced an annual furniture subscription service, 'UNLMTD by Furlenco', under which it is offering furniture and appliances to its customers in one go and at one price.
Besides, the company, which last week announced the closure of its series-D funding of USD 140 million (around Rs 1,000 crore), is also planning to expand its services to tier-II cities of the country, Karimpana said in a virtual press meet.
Currently, Furlenco, a brand owned by Kieraya Furnishing Solutions, is proving its subscription services to cities such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Hyderabad and Chennai.
When asked about the turnover of the company, Karimpana said: "We have a turnover of around Rs 100 crore in FY21 and will add another Rs 100 crore by December this fiscal, in just three quarters."
The company had a flat growth in the financial year 2020-21, on account of pandemic-related disruptions.
On 'UNLMTD by Furlenco', Karimpana said it has disrupted the Indian furniture industry and aims to change the way the category thinks of its offerings.
