Explore 10 Indian industries thriving from computer and laptop rentals in 2025 with insights into operational agility, ROI benefits, and real use cases.
Recent data shows India’s PC market shipped 3.3 million units in Q1 2025, an 8.1 percent year over year increase. This sharp demand for notebooks and AI ready devices reflects mounting needs across sectors facing fast changing digital demands.
In our 33 plus years serving Indian businesses in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad and Noida we’ve seen how ownership can upend OPEX versus CAPEX planning and tie up working capital. Renting transforms that by freeing IT teams and unlocking flexible deployment.
Read on to see how ten distinct industries benefit from computer and laptop rental, grounded in real specifications, market trends and strong ROI guidance you can apply today.
Deep Dive
Recent market analysis indicates that computer rental represents 25 percent of the office equipment rental market and is set to grow with a near 4 percent compound annual growth rate through 2034. About half of corporates worldwide prefer renting high performance laptops and desktops for short term or project based needs. This suggests rentals are central to modern flexible IT strategies.
Across the following ten industries, rental laptops unlock operational efficiency, tax flexibility, security assurance, and access to the latest models—without capital lock in. Here are the standout sectors and why rental works.
1. IT and Software Development
Indian IT–BPM revenue hit $253.9 billion in FY2024, employing over 5.4 million people. Project based teams need high performance devices loaded with the latest CPUs, GPUs, RAM and SSDs for coding, testing and cloud integration. Rental fleets ease workforce fluctuations, support hybrid teams and eliminate depreciation risk.
Recent trends show AI powered PCs and gaming laptops driving market growth, showing demand for powerful hardware.
2. Startups and SMEs
Startups navigate rapid pivoting and financial year planning, often preferring renting to preserve capital. Rental lets them grab current gen devices without upfront commitment. SMEs benefit from flexibility, especially when scaling into Bengaluru or Hyderabad’s emerging tech clusters.
3. Events and Conferences
Whether it’s registrations, live demos or breakout workshops, event managers benefit when laptops arrive pre configured with necessary software. Rental ensures scalability and zero maintenance needs onsite—use it, return it. It’s a solution we’ve seen in major Noida and Mumbai events where teams focused on execution, not gear.
4. Education and Training Institutes
Workshops, online learning and skill up programs—schools, universities and trainers often demand dozens or hundreds of laptops on short notice. Renting solves logistics, ensures uniform configurations and includes tech support to minimise downtime.
5. Research and AI Projects
AI learning models often require RTX class GPUs, high memory and fast storage. Rental options include machines like RTX 4090 with i9 and 32 GB RAM. Renting grants access only when needed, aligning with the generative AI boom and rising AI training programs in 2025, without device obsolescence risk.
6. Corporate Training Programs
Many multinationals deploy short term training batches—rental laptops deployed at training centers across Pune, Hyderabad or Bengaluru arrive secure and updated. Teams never worry about maintenance, freeing internal IT to support learners instead.
7. Freelancers and Remote Workers
Independent designers, developers or digital nomads often rent sleek laptops with modern CPUs, high battery life and security features, rather than carrying their own equipment across cities. This flexibility supports hybrid work without capital investment.
8. Non-Profit Organizations
Non profits with limited budgets benefit from tax deductible operating expense rentals. They only pay while devices are in use, avoiding depreciation bite and gaining encrypted drives, security updates and compliant data erasure processes when devices return.
9. Electronics and Semiconductor Industry
India’s electronics sector is expanding fast—exports hit over ₹11 lakh crore and semiconductor fab projects are increasing. Rental laptops help mobile and electronics OEMs support pop up testing labs or temporary lines, scaling compute resources during development phases.
10. Hybrid Workforce Rollouts
Corporates across Delhi, Noida, Chennai and other hubs are adopting hybrid models. Rental fleets equipped with secure configurations deploy across office and remote sites quickly. Maintenance, replacements and refresh cycles are managed by providers—reducing burden on captive IT groups.
Common Advantages Across Industries
