Fundraising Spree of OYO

Rapid scaling of OYO is backed by its large rounds of fundraising on regular intervals. In the recent turn of events, it raised $75 million in April this year from Airbnb after raising $100 million from Didi Chuxing, Softbank, and Grab in February 2019 and December 2018 respectively. It also raised a massive $1 billion round led by SoftBank in September last year.

The company said, “ They have allocated around $100 million from its $600 million commitment earlier for business in China even as it has hired more than 10,000 people and created jobs for more than 200,000 Chinese hospitality enthusiasts.”

Fundraising spree didn’t end with Airbnb round. It is raising another massive $1 billion round of funding from a new investor to lead the round along with existing investors including Grab, DiDi Chuxing, Airbnb, SoftBank, Sequoia and others, reported the financial express.

Sam Shih, COO, OYO China said, “ OYO Jiudain currently gets over 3 lakh travelers resting their heads on OYO Jiudian pillows each night. Company will focus on hiring more people and retaining top talent.” The company appointed Zhu Lei as its Chief Revenue Officer. Lei was the former president at Belgium-based brewing company Anheuser-Busch InBev.
