OYO was one of the first companies in India to offer deeply discounted ESOPs to both active and inactive employees when the impact of Covid-19 led to pay cuts and layoffs.
According to people in the know, over 80 per cent of current employees at OYO have been granted ESOPs. The Board of Oravel Stays Private Limited, the parent company of OYO, recently approved the increase in the authorised share capital of the company from Rs 1.17 crore to Rs 901 crore. The travel tech major will likely file its DRHP with market regulator SEBI within the next few months.
