He further added: “This expansion is in line with our quest to support the country’s hospitality ecosystem and creating infrastructure for asset owners to grow and run successful businesses, all of this while ensuring high standards of quality.”

OYO forayed into Malaysia in 2016.

It was founded in 2014 by Agarwal, who earlier founded Oravel Stays, an accommodation portal that had drawn investments from VentureNursery, DSG Consumer Partners and Lightspeed.

In mid-2014, Oravel was closed as it could not achieve scale, following which Agarwal launched OYO.

Agarwal claims that Oyo has provided more than 100 thousand job opportunities in South Asia, and aims to create more than 60,000 direct and indirect jobs in Indonesia.
