Founded in 2012 by Ritesh Agarwal, OYO is a hospitality service company that aims to provide  easy-to-book and affordable accommodation to customers around the world. The company claims to offer over 40 integrated products and solutions in more than 35 countries including India, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

The development of fundraise comes after the Delhi NCR-based hospitality unicorn, in May this year, officially withdrew its IPO (initial public offering) documents from the market regulator.
