About Lodify

Building India's most trusted equipment rental network

We connect contractors, builders, and enterprises to verified machines and licensed operators — with transparent pricing and GST invoicing on every single booking.

Our story

Born on a stalled site, waiting for a machine that never came

Lodify began in 2021 with a problem every Indian contractor knows too well. A project manager in Pune had booked an excavator over a phone call, paid an advance, and then spent three days chasing a machine that arrived late, under-serviced, and without paperwork. The rate quoted on the call was not the rate on the bill.

Equipment rental in India ran on trust, cash, and personal contacts — brilliant when it worked, painful when it did not. There was no way to compare rates, verify a machine's fitness, confirm an operator's licence, or get a clean GST invoice. Downtime was expensive, and accountability was nowhere.

So we built the platform we wished existed: verified machines, background-checked operators, transparent hourly pricing, live tracking, and tax-compliant invoicing on every single booking. Today Lodify connects contractors, builders, and enterprises across the country to a rental network they can finally rely on.

Mission

Put the right machine on every site, on time

To make heavy-equipment rental as simple, transparent, and dependable as booking a cab — verified machines and licensed operators, fair hourly pricing, and a GST invoice on every job, for contractors of every size.

Vision

The trusted backbone of India's build-out

A country where no project stalls for want of a reliable machine — where every crane, excavator, and loader on Indian soil is discoverable, verified, and one tap away, powering the infrastructure that moves the nation forward.

Every machine is inspected and fitness-certified before dispatch. No surprises when it reaches your site.

Radical transparency

Clear hourly rates, live tracking, and a GST invoice on every job. The price you see is the price you pay.

Downtime is expensive. We treat every dispatch as a deadline and back it with 24×7 support.
