Depreciation-engine pricing
Enter the purchase date and condition. The engine computes a fair sell price and a fair monthly rent — the same model for a two-year phone, a folding treadmill, or a stroller.
Alpha Sayuk Trove
A neighbourhood marketplace, built on trust.
Buy, sell, and rent with verified neighbours. Used items are priced by an honest depreciation engine, identity is verified yet masked, and payment is escrowed until the handoff. Some of the trust primitives are still in build — we say so on each one.

Trust, made mechanical.
State shown on every one.
Each mechanic carries its true state. Pricing and Circles are live in alpha today; escrow and verified identity are in active build; the rest are planned. We don't present a roadmap as a release.

Hyperlocal trust Circles
Join your neighbourhood's named Circles — residents' groups, workers' associations, professional unions. List into your Circle first; an item travels word-of-mouth before it goes public.
03 In build
UPI escrow with a 6-digit PIN
The buyer pays into escrow and receives a PIN shown only after the item changes hands. The seller enters the PIN; funds release to their UPI. Refundable any time before release.
04 In build
Masked Aadhaar identity
Sellers verify via DigiLocker — the platform stores a masked reference, never the full UID. Buyers see a verified badge with a real person behind it.
05 Planned
Photo-hash audit for rentals
Both sides upload photos at handoff and at return. Image hashes lock the condition at each step, turning a he-said-she-said dispute into comparable, tamper-evident records.
06 Planned
Verified-store group buy
Five neighbours who want the same item from a local store unlock a verified-store discount tier — consolidated demand for the store, honest pricing for the neighbourhood.
Six steps, one safe exchange.
The escrow path the trust mechanics enable — what a buyer and seller actually do, end to end. The escrow and PIN steps go live as that mechanic ships.
- 01
List with three photos
In-app camera only, no stock images. Three photos lock the condition at listing time.
- 02
The engine quotes the price
Purchase date + condition + category → a fair sell price and a fair monthly rent. Adjust ±15% with a reason.
- 03
Buyer escrows the amount
The buyer pays into Trove escrow via UPI and receives a 6-digit PIN. The seller is told the funds are held.
- 04
Meet in a public spot
Suggested meeting places — verified-store premises, busy high streets. Both parties' verified names are visible.
- 05
Inspect, then share the PIN
The buyer inspects the item. Happy? They share the PIN. Not happy? They walk away and the funds refund instantly.
- 06
Seller enters the PIN. Done.
Funds release to the seller's UPI. The listing flips to sold, and both sides leave a one-tap rating that stays on their Sayuk reputation.
We build where trust
is already local.
Dense and close-knit
Indian neighbourhoods are tight commercial units — bazaars, high streets, residents who know each other. Face-to-face trust is the unit of commerce Trove is built on.
Real community guilds
Workers' associations, professional unions, residents' circles become the first Trove Circles — existing community, formalised inside the platform.
Locality comes first
Most searches surface a match three hours away. Trove's locality-first model puts the closest verified neighbour at the top, every time.
Trove is opening to the first neighbourhoods.
We're onboarding the first verified sellers and the first stores. Want to be one of them, or open Trove in your neighbourhood? Drop us a line.
