Our Story

A narrative driven by resilience, innovation, and a heartfelt mission to make technology accessible to all

At Smart Rental, our story isn't just about what we do; it's about why we do it. It’s a narrative driven by resilience, innovation, and a heartfelt mission to make technology accessible to all. Our CEO, Joshua Chin, embodies the very essence of our values and vision. Years ago, Joshua faced a challenge that many of us encounter at some point: the high cost of essential technology. Dreaming of a career in technology, he found himself at a significant disadvantage because he couldn’t afford to buy a computer. Computers were a luxury, with a basic set costing RM3800—a sum that was not easily available to many, including Joshua’s family. Recognizing the pivotal role of computers, Joshua's father made a sacrifice, purchasing one on instalment despite financial strain. Witnessing this, Joshua's resolve grew, seeing technology not just as personal but universal potential. This experience laid the foundation for Smart Rental, Joshua envisioning affordable tech access as a catalyst for change. He aimed to empower through a service providing the latest tech without ownership burdens, benefitting individuals and businesses alike.

Our Journey and Vision

Smart Rental is a beacon of sustainable innovation and community empowerment in a world where technology evolves quickly. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea: to provide businesses access to the latest technology without traditional ownership’s heavy financial burden and environmental impact. From our humble beginnings, we have grown into Malaysia’s leading computer subscription service, driven by a passion for making technology accessible and sustainable. Inspired by the need to reduce electronic waste and support local communities, our founder envisioned a business model that benefits both businesses and society, making a positive social and environmental impact.
