While Ritesh Agrawal, founder and CEO at OYO Rooms, said, “Our network has witnessed robust growth to become the largest in India. Today, we are South Asia’s largest hospitality company. Ten million customers are registered with us. OYO has targeted bringing at least 100 hotels across three locations in Nepal within a year. We are now thrilled to offer OYO’s hassle-free and standardized stay experience to travelers visiting Nepal.”
