Buying isn’t broken. It’s just no longer the only way to experience a gadget in 2025.
In the 2000s, owning things felt like achievement. Your first laptop. Your DSLR. That PlayStation you saved up for all year. Ownership was the only way to enjoy these gadgets. One would end up making impulsive purchases as well.
Fast forward to 2025, and things look different today.
Ownership of everything from homes to cars to software and now gadgets is becoming optional. These days, renting things is more than just a way to save money. It’s a change in lifestyle. It is adaptable. It’s freedom and it’s beginning to bloom in India and the pioneer is Rentkar which just started as an Instagram platform.
Why Gadget Rental is Booming in India
India’s youth are driving this change.
Every month, the GenZ travel, take up new hobbies, start side businesses, freelance, play competitive video games like Dota, Valorant, and more and create content on Instagram and more. However gadgets such as a PlayStation 5, a Sony FX3, a GoPro Hero 12, or a gaming laptop with an RTX 4060 GPU, are not cheap. The cost of a top-tier camera setup alone can exceed ₹3 lakhs.
The majority of people don’t have to keep these items forever. For now, they only require access. It might be a weekend getaway. A shoot in a studio. A marathon of gaming. a period of working remotely. Perhaps it’s just a weekend with friends, or perhaps you have holidays.
Why even rent?
Even though technology advances annually, purchasing and commitment ties you to a single gadget. Renting protects you from the future. You could:
- Be Flexible
- Upgrade when needed
- Avoid the stress of resale
- Pay only for what you use and when you use
Imagine renting a GoPro for your 2-week vacation. A projector and speakers for your party. Or a high-end DSLR for a weekend shoot or a family gathering.
Additionally, renting allows you to try new things. Perhaps you’re considering moving from Sony to Fujifilm. or putting on a virtual reality headset for the first time. You can test the waters for a fraction of the price rather than committing to a purchase of lakhs.
Not to mention that it feels better to own less in a world that is more mobile, minimalist, and mindful. You don’t have outdated technology in your drawers. Every pastime doesn’t drain your bank account. Additionally, you make deliberate rather than rash decisions.
