What to watch

- Debt reduction completed from fresh proceeds, subsequent interest-cost savings and net-debt trajectory.
- Revenue growth relative to active subscribers, average order value, renewal rates and product utilization.
- Contribution margin and EBITDA trends after depreciation, refurbishment, logistics and customer acquisition costs.
- Competitive rental launches, subscription bundles or price cuts from furniture, appliance, e-commerce and quick-commerce players.
- Consumer discretionary demand and housing-mobility trends in RentoMojo's core urban markets.
- Use fresh IPO proceeds to repay debt, lowering interest expense and improving leverage metrics.
- Prioritize fleet utilization, customer retention and higher-margin cross-selling over aggressive customer-acquisition spending.
- Expand appliance and furniture assortments selectively in high-density cities where delivery, refurbishment and reverse-logistics economics are strongest.
- Use public-market visibility to negotiate better procurement, warehousing and financing terms with suppliers and lenders.
- Prepare for quarterly investor focus on EBITDA quality, operating cash flow, fleet depreciation, bad debt and repeat-order cohorts.
