Employee expenses also declined by 26.5% to Rs 1,117.2 crore from Rs 1,520.4 crore in FY21. Oyo said its 'storefronts' stood at 1.68 lakh at the end of Q1FY23, from around 1.57 lakh at the end of FY21.
IPO by Q4 of FY23
Sebi may consider the IPO document of Oyo Hotels after the submission of financials for the second quarter. Considering this speed, OYO Hotels can launch its IPO by the fourth quarter of FY23.
Oyo was started in 2013
Oyo was started in 2013 by Ritesh Agarwal, who was then 19 years old. OYO Rooms targeted affordable hotels. He used to go to the hoteliers and associate them with him. He then worked on the hotel's branding, marketing, technology support, customer management, and look and feel. Due to this, the business of the hotel increased by 2 times. Gradually the concept started becoming popular and funding started pouring in.
