OYO elevates India & South Asia CEO Aditya Ghosh to board of directors

<ul><li>OYO has launched a partner network for its 8,700+ asset owners. </li><li>OYO is the 6th largest hotel chain in the world currently.</li><li>In India, over 15 cities have 200 <keyword id="4964826" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="OYO-hotels">OYO hotels</keyword> per city. </li></ul>OYO is beefing up technology platform and is now looking to build a partner network of hotel owners, much like the big technology giants like Microsoft, HP, Amazon, who have a network of distributors, vendors and retail partners. The move seems to be targeted at extending the company’s reach and brand to a wider and deeper audience on the hotel owner side. OYO, which hasn’t yet celebrated its 5th anniversary, has been growing fast and taking on big hotel chains like Hyatt, Choice hotels among others. Now, in a bid to grow to the world’s largest hotel chain (it currently ranks sixth), OYO has turned its focus to hotel owner or asset partners, promising them several new services. OYO which already has an app for travellers for bookings, had a parallel app for hotel owners to manage the same and also their business transactions. OYO has now upgraded the app (called Co-OYO) to offer hotel owners financing help through its network of Indian banks, marketing support to boost their reach, help in compliance with regulations through access to top law and accounting firms and timely payments by assuring an interest of 18% on delayed payments. The hotel chain has also included technological solutions like OYO OS, a property management system. These new services will be available to over 8,700 hotel owners in OYO’s current network. At the launch of the network called OPEN - OYO Partner Engagement Network, <keyword id="229263" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aditya-Ghosh">Aditya Ghosh</keyword>, CEO, India &amp; South Asia, OYO hotels, spoke about the company’s plans to expand fast. “Today with the launch of OPEN, we are laying the foundations of a structured way of exchanging ideas, providing support and most importantly, building a relationship of trust on which we hope to build the next several decades to come. We are doing this in several ways but in this fast moving world, being in touch on a real-time basis is key and therefore for the very first time in the hospitality industry, we are proud to launch the Co-OYO app which will transparently provide business metrics,” said Aditya Ghosh, CEO, India &amp; South Asia, of OYO Hotels. OYO has 175,000+ rooms in India, whereas in China it has 322,000+ rooms and in the rest of the world put together, it is adding 60,000 rooms every month. In India, over 15 cities have 200 OYO hotels per city. “Some of the largest hotel chains in India which have been around for 100 years have 20,000 rooms, And OYO in 30 days added 60,000 new rooms. I have been asked this question are we growing too fast? I believe we are not growing fast enough,” said Ghosh.

Recruitment experts <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/jobs/cxo-hiring-on-full-steam-as-poll-impact-limited/articleshow/67596357.cms">believe</a> that there will be 15-20% increase in hiring at the CXO level in 2019. In India, <keyword id="7345773" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Hiring-at-the-c-suite-or-CXO-level">hiring at the c-suite or CXO level</keyword> has seen an upward tick with multiple new hires across companies during the past year, with management reshuffles and executives jumping ship between companies and startups. From former Indigo president Aditya Ghosh joining Indian unicorn <keyword id="2550719" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="OYO-Rooms">Oyo Rooms</keyword> to Ajit Mohan of Hotstar going on to head Facebook India, there have been multiple <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/Some-of-Indias-marquee-industry-execs-have-changed-jobs-heres-a-roundup/Abhijit-Bose-Securing-WhatsApp/slideshow/67550453.cms">rejigs </a>in the Indian business world in recent months. In 2019, the sectors that will contribute to the rise in CXOs are BFS, Consumer/FMCG, Retail, e-commerce and Fintech, according to executives of head-hunting firms. “The general elections may change this trend slightly depending on the results, but domestic demand is expected to remain bullish and hence, we will see a similar trend in the latter half of the year as well,” said Agamjeet Dang, Managing Partner, Executive Access. Another executive search expert K Sudarshan managing partner for India, EMA Partners International had told <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/jobs/cxo-hiring-on-full-steam-as-poll-impact-limited/articleshow/67596357.cms">ET</a> that with banks having cleaned up their books and the credit cycle turning positive, companies plan to augment capacity with considerable fresh capital expenditure. Tech expertise One of the reasons behind the growing demand for CXO-level hiring has been the turnaround of Indian companies to embrace technology and adapt to digital at a fast pace. Many of them lack in-house expertise, prompting demand for strong leadership with technology experience. “This will also result in shifting of job skills, with more low-end jobs moving out, and getting replaced with above skills at mid to senior levels. Even at CXO levels, this skills will continue to remain in demand and drive growth,” said Dang. And It’s not just companies that are hiring tech-driven top management, but also startups are keen on <a href="https://m.economictimes.com/small-biz/startups/newsbuzz/cto-hiring-precedes-funding-in-a-3rd-of-fintech-companies/articleshow/66874937.cms">bringing</a> on board experienced chief technology officers. India still remains an important outsourcing hub for many global companies, requiring experienced top professionals. India’s cost competitiveness, part reason that Dang cites for the increasing number of CXOs in India is the country’s cost competitiveness in providing IT Services, which is approximately three to four times cheaper than the US. “With global economies continuing to struggle with growth rates, attractiveness of India as a outsourcing hub should continue to remain bullish,” he said. Even roles requiring global leadership exposure is also drawing executives from India. In the last year, many Indians took over CXO level positions in companies across the world. Nikkon appointed Sajjan Kumar while Sony put Sunil Nayyar in charge of their local operations both positions which were earlier held by Japanese professionals, reported <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/jobs/indians-are-top-picks-for-cxo-jobs-at-asian-firms/articleshow/64913965.cms">ET.</a>

I think, it should happen in a year and a half,” Ghosh told the news agency PTI on January 15. Ghosh is the CEO, South Asia operations. A million rooms will be about double its existing network of 450,000. Over the years, Oyo has put up its red-and-white logo in almost every other budget hotel in the country and has gone from being just an aggregator for hotel bookings to owning properties including Oyo Townhouse (budget hotels) and Oyo Living (coliving rental spaces). While Oyo had marked its first international debut in 2018 with Dubai, it has been focusing more on China, Europe, Malaysia and Indonesia. Agarwal has brought in Ghosh to drive the fast developing South Asia operations. In fact, the company’s fast expansion into the Chinese market saw it become one of the top 10 hotel chains in China in just one year of operations.

But the founders of Chingari aren’t done. On Tuesday, the founders announced a new app – an audio social media app, much like Clubhouse or Twitter Spaces. The app called fireside will offer a platform for users to hold conversations. "The pandemic has imbued uncertainty and isolation, leaving people craving for human interaction. fireside enables users to listen to the voice of their loved ones by bridging emotional gaps, leaving them emotionally touched and connected. With a keen focus on building rich communities, fireside aims to cater to the Indian market with clubs and groups that are tailored to suit local needs and sensibilities,” said Sumit Ghosh, chief executive officer and co-founder of fireside. And as with Chingari, the founders are looking to create a ‘localized’ experience with fireside as well. “To mirror the diversity of the country like ours, there needs to be an egalitarian social platform that is inclusive of folks who can barely read and write. With fireside, even those who are minimally literate, can open their ideas up for the world to hear,” said Aditya Kothari, co-founder of fireside. The app, which is already live, has also introduced a covid voice helpline, for people to communicate with each other and amplify SOS requests.
