What is Truzell? The Complete 2025 Guide to India's Trusted Resale Platform
Truzell is a trust-first resale platform built to fix everything that feels broken with traditional second-hand marketplaces like OLX and random Facebook groups.
Instead of endless "Is this still available?" messages, no-shows, and fake listings, Truzell is designing a safer way for people in India to buy and sell second-hand furniture, electronics, and home essentials — starting with Bangalore.
What exactly is Truzell?
Truzell is a curated, trust-first resale platform where you can buy and sell second-hand items like furniture, electronics, and home appliances without the usual chaos of open marketplaces.
Rather than being "just another OLX", Truzell is built around:
- •Trust over volume – fewer, better, and more reliable listings.
- •Time saved – less chasing, fewer no-shows, and clearer expectations.
- •Safety-first flows – reducing the awkward, uncertain parts of buying second hand.
Today, Truzell is live in Bangalore only, and is actively learning from early users before expanding to other cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, and Hyderabad.
What's broken with OLX-style resale platforms?
- ❌Outdated listings: Items already sold but never marked as sold.
- ❌No-shows & flaky sellers: Buyers travel across the city only to be ghosted.
- ❌Misleading photos: "Good condition" looks very different in real life.
- ❌Zero buyer protection: Once you pay or travel, the risk is on you.
- ❌Stranger meetups: Awkward, unsafe, and time-consuming.
These platforms were not designed with trust, verification, or modern logistics in mind. They simply list everything and leave the rest to you.
How Truzell is different from OLX and Facebook Marketplace

- ✅Trust-first, not listing-first: We prioritise safety and reliability over raw volume.

- ✅City-by-city rollout: Start in one city, get it right, then scale.
