Due to the variety of businesses, the hospitality industry is usually one of the largest revenue
producers for countries. Hospitality usually focuses on extra money that people have to spend
on pleasurable things and leisure, though not always. Business conventions, trainings, and
meetings in different countries can also affect the hospitality industry greatly. While the
hospitality industry can be influenced by a type of visitor, it can also be influenced by domestic
and international travelers.
OYO Rooms which was earlier known as ORAVEL STAYS is one of the successful start-up in
hospitality industry which is popularly known for its hotel rooms at reasonable price. These
days OYO Rooms has come with its various products but there are some products which are not
popularly known to customers. The topic of my research is to introduce and increase the reach
of OYO Homes and OYO Townhouse in comparison of OYO Hotel Rooms.
OYO Homes and OYO Townhouse are the two different services which is introduced by OYO
Rooms. These two services are totally different with each other. OYO Homes is a service where
more than 3 people can be accommodated. It offers multiple segments like Apartments, Villas
and Cottages etc. It provides all the facilities which is available in a house including fully
equipped kitchen. Maximum occupancy can be 24.
OYO Townhouse is a private owned house which is initially located in metro cities with the
facilities like Retail store, Bar, Café, Laundry service, Restaurant, Seminar rooms
etc. It is also known as smart rooms.
9|P a g e
Importance and Significance
This study includes the promotion of services provided by OYO Home and OYO Townhouse.
Reason behind taking this topic is to create awareness among the target customers as very less
people are having knowledge about these two services and other reason is to increase the
availability of the services among the customers. OYO Rooms provides hotel rooms with
limited occupancy of 3 per room but in case of OYO Home and OYO Townhouse, this scenario
is not there. Both the services allow customers to choose the occupancy option up to 16-18
people. There were various types of promotional activities like promoting offers and schemes
through Whatsapp, Facebook, and College events.

BUSINESS MODEL OF OYO ROOMS
Partnership Model
Oyo Rooms provide visitors with quality hotel room stays at different places around India. They
have partnered with hotels and made them work with them under their name.
Oyo Rooms, started and famous as branded hotel rooms aggregator, provides many more
services than just hotel rooms to visitors.
Hotel Rooms
The most important and revenue generating service. Oyo has partnered with hotels which
provide services at pre-determined prices and pre-determined quality.
Oyo’s strategy includes booking a part of the hotels’ inventory and holding it captive for
Oyo customers. That is, they hire some rooms every month and provide them to users at a take
up rate.
Oyo Rooms has partnered even with 2 star hotels and guest houses, standardized them, and
provided them under Oyo’s brand on their website and application.
OYO Flagship
15 | P a g e
The partners used to book their own hotels when they used to see less prices on the Oyo’s
platform and this became a malpractice benefiting the partners while burning holes in Oyo’s
pockets. To curb this, and to expand the business, Oyo Rooms has started leasing of hotels where
it has the full control over the day-to-day operations of these establishments. This is a shift from
the existing Aggregator Model, but will prove beneficial for the brand as it now already has a
brand equity and a set of loyal customers. These leased properties come under Oyo Flagship.
Studio Stays
Apart from providing hotel rooms, Oyo also provides fully furnished rooms and flats for long
stays like internships, corporate stays, etc. The rooms/flats can be rented on single occupancy
as well as on twin sharing basis as well (other provisions are also applicable). Rents are paid
monthly. Commission (take up rate) is charged from the owners if the customer comes through
Oyo rooms.
Long Stays
Just like studio stays. There are many family functions (weddings, parties) as well as corporate
functions (seminars, meetings, parties) which involve hotel rooms for their guests to stay for
long. This service is also provided by Oyo.
OYO Bazaar
OYO Bazaar is India’s first B2B marketplace built exclusively for the hospitality sector. It is a
single stop online shop for any hotel supplies required for daily running of the hotel.
Unlike usual Aggregator Business Model where a commission is charged from the partners for
providing them with customers. Oyo earns through a take up rate.
16 | P a g e
That is, they hire a part of hotel’s inventory for a month or a specified time period, at a specified
price and offer those rooms to the visitors of its website/application at different set prices.
Oyo has been raising funding from big shot investors to continue running of its operations. It
has raised a total of $250 M from investors like SoftBank, Sequoia Capital, etc.
17 | P a g e
Oyo has placed its foot in other domains than just hotel rooms which will help them stay in the
market for long. SoftBank has been a keen observer and has done a great job in funding them
twice
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
OYO Rooms is the online hotel rooms service provider company which offers many types of
services apart from hotel rooms such as holiday packages, OYO Home, OYO Townhouse,
Banquet halls etc. My research topic is to introduce and increase the reach of OYO Home and
OYO Townhouse in comparison of OYO Hotel rooms.
OYO Homes

of the destination in terms of cuisine, experiences and location. It is designed to be unique,

5. Smarter Service
OYO’s training institute instills a very different approach to service: proactive, efficient and
genuinely friendly. This results in a service ethos that values practical problem-solving over
theoretical knowledge – a difference that guests can feel as soon as they meet a member of
the Townhouse team.
Certification is awarded after a rigorous selection process, run by the same team of
experts that trained personnel for market-leading organizations
Specialized services such as deep cleaning and maintenance are outsourced to ensure
high standards and effectiveness
Trained staff recruited from the best of IHMs
Personalized attention from GMs
All Townhouses are overseen by OYO Captains, which means that guests get 24/7
customer support wherever and whenever required
6. Smarter Locations
OYO puts Townhouses in places that either have no viable options, or - if some do exist –
they are over-priced or sub-standard. Which is why OYO Townhouses provide an
unbeatable mix of features, location and value.
Townhouses are an integral part of great neighborhoods, and are also designed to
function as social hotspots. We literally help put neighborhoods on the map!
Exclusive partnerships with local brands, artists and organizations offer guests unique
insights into the locality (and some great deals too)
Netflix™: choose from thousands of movies & TV shows
Power sockets & free high-speed internet everywhere!

Townhouses are micro hubs that transform the commercial and social activity in the
area
Easily accessible from all major airports, railway/metro stations
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Design
1. Exploratory Research
As per this research title, it was very necessary to follow this research design because
many people are unaware of these two services of OYO Rooms and one of the best way
to let them know was market research. It helped me to know the requirement of the target
customers.
2. Descriptive Research
This research design helped to categorize the people according to the services they want.
Under this research design main focus was on elaborating the concepts of OYO Homes
and OYO Townhouse.
Data Collection
Data collection has been done by both Primary and Secondary collection method.
Primary Data
Collection of data has been done by interviewing people with the help of questionnaire. There
are many places from where data has been gathered such as IT Parks, Railway Stations and
Bus Stands etc.
Secondary Data
22 | P a g e
There were many other sources from where data has been collected which was useful for this
research, such as websites, Google forms etc.
SAMPLE DESIGN
Universe – As this research work is for PAN India level, so both questionnaires and google
forms has been used, so sample universe is PAN India.
Sample Frame – The sample frame for this research includes all people who use to travel across
the country.
Sampling Technique – Convenience Sampling is the technique which is used for this
research.
A convenience sample is a type of non-probability sampling method where the sample is
taken from a group of people easy to contact or to reach. For example, standing at a mall or
a grocery store and asking people to answer questions would be an example of a convenience
sample. This type of sampling is also known as grab sampling or availability sampling. There
are no other criteria to the sampling method except that people be available and willing to
participate.
