$3B is still an incredibly high valuation for OYO's business model. I'll remain skeptical until they figure out sustainable profitability rather than just unbridled growth.

Not surprised to see OYO's valuation come back down to earth. A $10B valuation was always ambitious for a hotel franchising business, even one growing very quickly.

This is actually a positive sign in my opinion. Being able to raise new funding, even at a lower valuation, shows OYO still has runway and a path forward after the pandemic disruption. Many startups don't survive that.
