OYO’s journey has always been very inspiring. Now, Ritesh Agarwal, Founder and CEO of OYO, is opening a new chapter — and inviting the public to be part of it. He’s asking people to be creative and help the brand come up with a new name for the company.
The goal is to create a name that reflects OYO’s future, not just as a hospitality brand, but as a global company focused on urban living and technology. It’s a unique chance to help shape how OYO presents itself to the world. And here’s the exciting part — the best idea will win ₹3 lakhs and a chance to meet Ritesh Agarwal.
The new name should be:
This rebranding comes as OYO prepares to launch its Initial Public Offering (IPO). OYO has grown into one of the most well-known travel and hospitality brands globally. But with growth comes the need for a refreshed identity — one that reflects where the company is headed next.
Ritesh Agarwal believes the best ideas don’t always come from boardrooms. They come from real users — people who connect with the brand regularly and believe in its journey and growth.“We’re renaming the corporate brand behind everything — not the hotel chain or a consumer product, but the main company driving our global platform for innovation and modern living,” Agarwal said. “We believe the world is ready for a new global brand — one that started in India but is built for the world.”
This isn’t just a random name change. It’s a moment to define what the future of living, travel, and hospitality could look like. And since OYO has always grown with its community — and made the community feel like a part of that journey — it’s only right that the community helps shape what comes next.
