Oyo raises $65 Mn from Ritesh Agarwal’s Redsprig Innovation Hospitality major Oyo has raised Rs 550 crore (approximately $65 million) from Redsprig Innovation Partners, an affiliate entity of the company’s founder Ritesh Agarwal. The board at Oyo has passed a special resolution to issue 12,91,07,982 equity shares at an issue price of Rs 42.6 each to raise Rs 550 crore or $65 million, its regulatory filing accessed from the Registrar of Companies shows. After the recent funding injection, the company's valuation rose to $3.79 billion, reflecting a 59.2% increase from Oyo's previous Series G round, when the firm was valued at $2.38 billion. As per the filings, the company plans to use these funds for growth, supporting global expansion (including acquisitions), strengthening business strategies, and other corporate initiatives. The funding will also result in a 1.728% dilution of the company's total stake. This is the second major capital infusion by Agarwal in Oyo. In August 2024, he led a $175 million round through his Singapore-based fund, Patient Capital. Last month, a CNBC TV18 report suggested that Nuvama Wealth & Investment Limited (formerly Edelweiss Securities) purchased shares worth Rs 100 crore in Oyo’s parent Oravel Stays Limited. During FY24, IPO-bound Oyo posted a flat scale which stood at Rs 5,389 crore, as compared to Rs 5,464 crore in FY23. Despite the stagnant revenue, the company managed to control its expenditure by 16% which resulted in Oyo posting a net profit after tax (PAT) of Rs 230 crore in the last fiscal (FY24). In May, the Gurugram-based company withdrew its draft papers (DRHP) for the second time due to unfavorable conditions. The firm also said that it will refile the IPO papers after concluding a large funding round, which is about to close after the latest fundraises.

OYO posts over Rs 200 Cr profit in Q1 FY26; rebrands parent as PRISM Life As per the company’s annual report 2024-25, OYO clocked a profit after tax (PAT) of over Rs 200 crore in Q1 FY26, a sharp jump from Rs 87 crore in the same quarter last year. Oravel Stays Limited, which operates OYO, kicked off FY26 on a strong note with profits more than doubling in the first quarter of the ongoing fiscal year. The report further highlighted that the company achieved an EBITDA of Rs 550 crore during the quarter, while revenues surged 47% year-on-year to Rs 2,019 crore. Its gross booking value (GBV) grew 144% YoY to Rs 7,227 crore, reflecting strong recovery and demand momentum across markets. Alongside the financials, the company’s board has also cleared a 1:1 bonus share issuance for existing shareholders. For the full year FY25, OYO reported a consolidated revenue of Rs 6,252.8 crore, 16% more than the previous fiscal, with an EBITDA of Rs 1,100 crore, and a consolidated PAT of Rs 2,448 crore. Its GBV for the year stood at Rs 16,250 crore, growing 53% year-on-year. In a strategic move to sharpen its identity as a lifestyle and hospitality tech conglomerate, Oravel Stays has introduced a new parent brand PRISM Life (shortened as PRISM). The new identity will act as the corporate umbrella housing OYO and its other premium brands such as Belvilla, Palette, Clubhouse, and Sunday Hotels. The Gurugram-based company has also been pushing premiumisation while expanding globally. In FY25, it deepened its footprint in the US through the acquisition of Motel 6 and Studio 6, and scaled its home business under Belvilla, Dancenter, and CheckMyGuest in Europe. By March 2025, OYO’s portfolio included over 120,000 vacation homes and 21,000 hotels across more than 35 countries. Founder and chairman Ritesh Agarwal said in his letter to shareholders that the long-term goal is to transform the group into one of the world’s leading lifestyle companies under PRISM, leveraging technology, AI-driven revenue management, and diversified hospitality brands.
