Submission declined on 28 August 2024 by Theroadislong (talk).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Olapool

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

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

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.
Cancellation and Refunds: The platform provides clear policies for cancellations and refunds, ensuring a transparent process for both renters and store owners.
Delhivery Integration: Olapool is in the process of integrating with Delhivery to streamline the logistics and delivery of rented items.

Business Model

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

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

Olapool aims to continue expanding its product offerings and geographic reach, with plans to further enhance the platform's features, including improved logistics integration and expanded payment options. The company is also exploring opportunities to enter new rental markets beyond its current focus on media equipment and home appliances.
