He further added, “We want our potential guests and partners to know that with OYO Hotels, they’ve found a trusted solution for all their travel and business needs.

Presently, the properties are going to be under the models of manchise, i.e., a hybrid of franchise and management, which implies lease with full control over the inventory. This is similar to other markets like China and India.
