Building @oyorooms and disrupting hospitality!

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

From only a couple of interns and merely 500 listings on what was then Oravel to 170,000 storefronts across 35 countries, the last 10 years at @oyorooms have been an incredible journey. And perhaps Ritesh is right: teaming up with him is the best decision I've ever made! (2/2)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

Entrepreneurial success often hinges on taking a chance. More than a decade ago, I was convinced that @riteshagar had a game-changing idea that had the potential to become big. The fact that he was so forthright about not being able to pay me left a lasting impression. (1/2)

This is a part of OYO most people don’t know about.

@anujtejpal joined us in 2013 and refused to take a salary in the beginning.

Here was an IIT graduate who had just returned from the US, willing to work for free for us. This was the first time I heard about ESOPs from him and in hindsight he made a very smart decision.

Anuj still works with us till date and handles all our global merchant relationships.

As we strive to meet the rising expectations of our customers, we plan to launch 12 more self-operated Palette properties by the end of the year. The next time you're in Gujarat, do consider staying at our Morbi hotel. You will not be disappointed. (3/3)

Our premium brand of hotels, Palette, has a new address in Morbi, Gujarat! This marks Oravel's debut in the self-operated space for premium hotels. A flourishing local economy makes Morbi, India's ceramic capital, an ideal fit for our Palette brand. (1/3)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

Taking on from the Palette hotels we launched across cities like Jaipur, Hyderabad and Mumbai last year, the Morbi property is designed especially for business travellers, equipped with the latest and best-in-class amenities in the hospitality sector. (2/3)

@oyorooms takes great pride in collaborating with its patrons, and such interactions give me the chance to understand their concerns better and devise ways to improve our relationship. (4/4)

Since its launch earlier this year, the OYO Accelerator programme has grown tremendously and proved instrumental in our efforts to strengthen the small-business owner community and help them explore new avenues of growth. (1/4)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

After initially adding 300 new hotels as part of the initiative, we remain committed to further expanding the programme by tapping into new markets outside of the major cities and reaching our target of 1,000 properties this year. (3/4)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

And we’re not done yet. We will continue to encourage our patrons to work towards attaining the coveted tag and expand the category to 1,500 hotels by the end of this financial year. Next time you’re travelling, do consider staying at a Super OYO! (3/3)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

Over the last few months, we have worked tirelessly with our hotel partners to ensure that our customers get the best-in-class service. And the results have shown: our Super OYO count has surpassed 1,000 hotels spread across 140 Indian cities. (1/3)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

Curated hotels that provide the most consistent experience, Super OYO was launched in December 2022 with 200 properties. A 5X rise is testament to our patrons delivering on key performance indicators and offering guests the kind of hospitality @oyorooms takes pride in. (2/3)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

After an encouraging early response, we plan to add 40 more Palette properties in the coming months. I am confident this diversification will go a long way in OYO providing its customers with more variety. The next time you get a chance, do check out our Palette resorts! (3/3)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

Our customers play a huge role in everything we do at OYO, and we have been listening to them to understand how we can serve them better. As travellers seek superior experiences, we are delighted to announce the launch of Palette, our latest premium offering. (1/3)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

Starting with 10 properties in cities like Jaipur, Hyderabad, Digha and Chennai, our Palette resorts are designed to serve both business and leisure travellers, with the promise of a memorable experience at the heart of our endeavours. (2/3)

Entrepreneurship is as much about building durable companies as it is about helping the next generation of businesses find their feet. Even the smallest acts of support and encouragement can have a significant impact on a young entrepreneur's journey. (1/4)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

The last decade at OYO has been filled with learnings for me and I feel fortunate to be able to share my experiences with others. Our startup ecosystem has come a long way and such relationships will only foster growth and create a more inclusive entrepreneurial landscape. (3/4)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

@oyorooms cannot grow without its patrons, and we are hopeful that the expanded program will act as a catalyst for new avenues of growth and help them achieve their full potential. (3/3)

[Anuj Tejpal @anujtejpal]

OYO was founded with the purpose of not only offering quality accommodation to customers but also empowering entrepreneurs. Over time, we have built a community of small-business owners by encouraging them to pursue their own entrepreneurial journey. (1/2) https://t.co/W2H0fQ2o9M

In March, we launched our Accelerator Program with an aim to help 50 first-gen hoteliers expand their portfolio through mentorship and financial assistance. After onboarding 300 hotels as part of the initiative, we will be adding 1,000 this year by supporting 100 hoteliers. (2/3)
