OYO is the fastest-growing and third-largest hotel chain in the world. Globally, we are
known for renovating and rebranding existing properties. We transform lowly occupied
properties into chic, modern spaces with 70% - 85% occupancy rates.
OYO was founded in India in 2013 by 18-year-old, Ritesh Agarwal. Ritesh presented the
OYO brand and business model to the founder of Paypay, Peter Thiel. Theil loved the
idea and invested $100,000, jumpstarting Ritesh’s dream of building the number one
hotel chain in the world.
Ritesh took that investment and turned it into success. OYO’s portfolio combines fully
operated real estate comprising more than 23,000 hotels and 125,000 vacation homes.
OYO along with Vacation Homes categories managed by the company, can be found in
more than 800 cities in 80 countries, including the U.S., Europe, U.K., India, Malaysia,
Middle East, Indonesia, Philippines, and Japan.

Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at OYO.
Interview
Had 3 rounds: One with HR, and 2 with senior ops managers. HR round was mainly profile screening while the other 2 interviews were more behavioral/ situation based. The main idea is to know OYO's growth story and business model well and show high sense of ownership.
