He said hospitality at an affordable rate is central to Oyo's ideas.
"We add roughly 10,000 rooms and 500 hotels under our fully operated or franchised segment every month, which means even though we are 1% of the market share, we areaggressively driving towards making more and more Indiansexperience good quality branded living spaces at a low cost," he added.
