Bridging the Trust Gap in Pre-Owned Tech.
We're not just a marketplace. We are India's first certification lab that sells its certified products.
Our Mission
Buying pre-owned electronics has always been a gamble. Vague descriptions, questionable histories, and the fear of hidden defects create a trust gap that leaves buyers feeling uncertain. You are forced to take a leap of faith, hoping the device you receive matches the performance you expect.
Founded out of a living room in Pune, Assurd is built on a simple premise: to eliminate that uncertainty through radical transparency and scientific rigor. Our mission is to empower you to purchase with the same confidence as buying new, backed by a level of objective data that even new products rarely provide.
The Assurd Certification Process
1. Sourcing & Triage
We source high-quality devices and perform a meticulous physical inspection to filter out any units with obvious physical defects.
2. Forensic Analysis
We create a digital fingerprint of each device's hardware, using tools like HWiNFO64 and manufacturer databases to verify its authenticity and original configuration.
3. Rigorous Benchmarking
In our climate-controlled lab, each device is subjected to a suite of demanding, industry-standard benchmarks to quantify its real-world performance.
4. Curation & Reporting
Only devices that meet our strict 'Minimum Performance Standard' are certified and listed. A detailed, verifiable report is generated for every product.
Our Testing Methodologies
Our commitment to transparency means sharing exactly how we test. Below is an overview of our protocol.
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)
We use a standardized test bench to eliminate bottlenecks and measure real-world gaming performance in 12 demanding titles, recording not just average FPS but also 1% and 0.1% lows for a true picture of smoothness. We also quantify creative workload performance using industry-standard benchmarks like Blender and PugetBench.
