SUCCESS STORY

         the fast-growing budget hotel startup out of India that’s backed by               and                   has successfully entered the Dutch market with the help of ShelfCo Business Group. 

While companies like Airbnb have expanded into higher-end homes and business services, what OYO brings is diversification into another segment of the market. OYO has built its business primarily on budget offerings — and with this around middle-class, family travel that’s often also planned on a budget.

“We see vacation homes as a unique opportunity with 115,000 units of homes now getting added to our already growing count of beautiful homes and we are excited to continue maintaining our global industry leadership.” - OYO’s founder and                                              (pictured above) said in a statement.

STARTING A BUSINESS IN NL

The incorporation of the first Netherlands company by OYO was quickly followed by a substantial acquisition to expand its footprint into Europe, specifically around self-catering home rentals.

The company has bought                              from Axel Springer for about $415 million (€369.5 million).

It operates through various sub-brands, including                                    and                                                and last year it achieved Ebitda of more than €24 million.

WORKING WITH HOUSE OF COMPANIES

OYO, which is now valued at $5 billion, had involved House of Companies to facilitate the formation of several Dutch legal entities and to provide corporate secretarial services to ensure no hiccups would delay the acquisition. 

The cooperation between OYO and House of Companies was considered successful, according to  Shivam Saxena

THE RESULTS

Only two months after announcing its plan to buy                               OYO Rooms has successfully closed the deal and renamed the company.

The Netherlands-based Leisure Group will now be known as                                             as the mothership looks to use it’s brand name for corporate purposes and closely align the businesses.
