About Helium

After chasing brokers, navigating fake listings, and locking up lakhs in deposits, most renters settle because the system leaves them no real choice. Helium is rebuilding rentals in India from the ground up with a discovery platform of exclusive, gated homes that are actually available and require just a one-month deposit. Under the hood, we run two fintech products: a rent guarantee for homeowners and a credit-led deposit solution for tenants.

We are backed by founders and operators from Blinkit, CRED, Zomato, and Stanza Living.
