Thanks @rchowdhri for the great conversation. OYO has done an amazing job in using its core capabilities - rev mgmt / pricing / tech stack to expand across geographies & into new categories (vacation homes). Keen to see new biz models that will scale across globe in travel now!
This conversation took me back to 2017, when we were deep in the trenches, raising our first fund at @Stellaris_VP. Naturally, OYO became our go-to place to stay after long days of meetings.
OYO’s story since then has been one of bold bets, global ambition, and resilience. It disrupted India’s fragmented budget stay market, scaled to 80+ countries, and redefined the hospitality industry.
At the heart of this journey is @ahnis.
Abhinav joined OYO in Year 1, helped scale operations in India, drove international expansion, and steered the company through its most challenging chapters.
It was a pleasure to sit down with him and dive into the behind-the-scenes of that journey, and where he sees new opportunities for the next wave of founders in travel.
