What OYO does

OYO, operating under its parent company PRISM (formerly Oravel Stays Limited), is a global hospitality technology platform founded in 2013 by Ritesh Agarwal and headquartered in Gurugram, India. The company operates an asset-light franchise and technology-enabled distribution model serving 174,000+ hotels and homes across more than 35 countries (with claims of presence in 80+ countries), connecting independent property owners with travelers through standardized branding, technology infrastructure, and a global demand-generation network. Its portfolio spans budget brands (OYO Rooms, Spot On, Flagship), mid-market (Townhouse, Capital O), premium (Collection O, Palette, Townhouse Oak, Silver Key), lifestyle (Sunday), corporate travel (OYO for Business serving 5,000+ corporates), vacation rentals (@Leisure brands Belvilla, DanCenter, Traum, plus Direct Booker, Checkmyguest, MadeComfy), and coworking (Innov8). The technology stack includes the OYO OS property management system, AI-driven dynamic pricing, OYO360 self-onboarding, OTA Powerplay for multi-channel distribution, the OYO Wizard loyalty program, and consumer apps (standard and OYO Lite) with over 100 million cumulative downloads.

OYO earns revenue primarily through commissions on bookings generated via its platform, franchise and brand-affiliation fees across its sub-brand portfolio, and subscription products such as OYO Wizard and OTA Powerplay. Pricing on the consumer side is dynamic, tiered by brand category from roughly Rs 600 per night in budget (OYO Rooms/Spot On) up to Rs 3,980–7,970 per night in luxury tiers (Palette/Sunday). On the supply side, hotel partners join through OYO Circle and the OYO Frames technology portal, gaining access to inventory management, dynamic pricing optimization, and OYO's global distribution. Distribution channels combine self-serve direct channels (app, website), enterprise sales (OYO for Business, Yatra partnership), and third-party OTA resellers via OTA Powerplay.

FY25 consolidated revenue was Rs 6,253 crore (approximately $748M USD) with 16% YoY growth, and net profit of Rs 244.8 crore marked the company's second consecutive profitable year after substantial historical losses. Major recent strategic actions include the $525M acquisition of G6 Hospitality (Motel 6/Studio 6) in 2024, the ~€100M acquisition of Checkmyguest in 2024, and MadeComfy in 2025. The parent entity rebranded from Oravel Stays to PRISM in 2025 and received SEBI approval in June 2026 for an IPO of up to Rs 6,650 crore at a targeted $7–8 billion valuation, OYO's third attempt at a public listing after two prior withdrawals.
