Since its inception in 2013, the app like OYO Rooms brought a sea change to the lives of people entering into a new city or country. It became the bridge between people searching for a suitable accommodation to spend the night or days and hotels & guest room providers in India along with nearly 600 cities of the world where OYO Rooms has an appreciable presence.
In the past people from all walks of life whether students looking for studying or internship options, individuals making a career shift for better opportunities, someone starting a new business venture in a different city, the need for a space to rest has hassled many of us because of the dearth of knowledge of the right property agent, suitable food outlet, inquisitive landlord of place with the bare minimum of necessities – all due to the pressing need of urgency as night approached; budget constraints and paucity of the right contacts or an app like OYO Rooms.
Despite people being mobile savvy, there wasn’t any option of facility available before 2013 when OYO Rooms entered the combined-living market with its low budget apartment sharing, hotel rooms, and etc. facilities for the general public. Initially it started with the Aggregator Business Model and currently works on the Franchise Business Model wherein hotel owners & landlords associated with OYO rooms have to follow strict guidelines, provide quality services & discount plans and pay OYO rooms with revenue of 90% for hotel operations.
This also opened a broad spectrum for start-ups and businesses to enter the co-living market and create an OYO like app for expanding their business growth or getting into this new venture after noticing its stupendous success graph. OYO Rooms has the backing of some of the prominent venture capitalists such as Sequoia Capital, Softbank Group, Light Speed India and Green Oaks Capital.
Snapshot of Venture Capital funding to the Co-Living Industry in 2018
Zolo Stays – Mumbai based Co-living business took a Series-C funding of $30 MN from IDFC Alternatives, Nexus Venture Partners and Mirae Asset.
CoLive raised $1.8 MN through Ncubate Capital Partners
Grexter got a Pre-Series A funding of $1.5 MN from Venture Catalysts
Stay Abode also partaked in an additional Pre-Series A funding through Incubate Fund, Akatsuki & Voyage Group.
India’s co-living market till last year was estimated at a market value of $120 Million which is expected to rise steeply to nearly 20 times in the next couple of years.

The oldest insurance company of Lebanon reached out to us. They needed to digitize their operations and develop a lending application.
