\n\u00centr-o noapte, Ritesh Agarwal, pe atunci \u00een v\u00e2rst\u0103 de 18 ani, a r\u0103mas blocat \u00een afara apartamentului s\u0103u din Delhi, a\u015fa c\u0103 a fost nevoit s\u0103 stea la un hotel. A \u00eent\u00e2mpinat mai multe probleme: prizele nu func\u0163ionau, robinetul din baie curgea \u015fi nu a reu\u015fit s\u0103 pl\u0103teasc\u0103 cu cardul de credit, a m\u0103rturisit t\u00e2n\u0103rul pentru BBC.<\/p>\n
\nAcesta s-a sim\u0163it obligat s\u0103 fac\u0103 ceva \u00een privin\u0163a asta. Acum, la 21 de ani, Agarwal este fondatorul Oyo Rooms, o re\u0163ea de 2.200 de hoteluri care opereaz\u0103 \u00een 100 de ora\u015fe de-a lungul Indiei, cu venituri de 3,5 milioane de dolari \u015fi are 1500 de angaja\u0163i.
\nCompania ajut\u0103 hotelurile no-name din \u0163ar\u0103 s\u0103-\u015fi \u00eembun\u0103t\u0103\u0163easc\u0103 serviciile \u015fi staff-ul, apoi hotelurile sunt aduse sub sigla Oyo Rooms, compania lui Agarwal \u00eencas\u00e2nd un procent din veniturile hotelurilor.<\/p>\n
\nOyo Rooms a trecut \u015fi \u00een domeniul digital, dezvolt\u00e2nd o aplica\u0163ie care ajut\u0103 oameni s\u0103-\u015fi rezerve camere de hotel. Aplica\u0163ia le poate indica drumul spre hotel, iar ajunsi acolo, oaspe\u0163ii hotelului pot folosi aplica\u0163ia pentru a comanda “room service”.<\/p>\n
\nRitesh Agarwal a c\u00e2\u015ftigat un loc la un program sponsorizat de Peter Thiel, co-fondator PayPal. Programul ofer\u0103 adolescen\u0163ilor posibilitatea de a-\u015fi porni afacerea. Astfel compania a fost lansat\u0103 \u00een 2013 cu un buget de doar 900 de dolari pe lun\u0103 \u015fi avea un singur hotel \u00een calitate de client. “Am fost manager, inginer, recep\u0163ioner, iar noaptea scriam cod pentru a dezvolta aplica\u0163ia \u015fi pentru a \u00eembun\u0103t\u0103\u0163i site-ul”, \u00ee\u015fi aduce aminte Agarwal.<\/p>\n
\nA fost greu s\u0103 atrag\u0103 investitori la \u00eenceput, dar treptat lucrurile au \u00eenceput s\u0103 mearg\u0103 mai bine, iar recent a reu\u015fit s\u0103 ob\u0163in\u0103 fonduri de 100 milioane de dolari de la compania japonez\u0103 Softbank. Pentru c\u0103 a renun\u0163at la scoal\u0103 nu i-a fost u\u015for s\u0103 creasc\u0103 afacerea. Lucruri normale, precum ob\u0163inerea unui \u00eemprumut la banc\u0103 sau angajarea staff-ului au fost mai dificile. <\/p>\n
\nAmbi\u0163iile t\u00e2n\u0103rului sunt mari. Nu vrea s\u0103 se opreasc\u0103 aici \u015fi pl\u0103nuie\u015fte s\u0103 extind\u0103 compania \u015fi \u00een alte \u0163\u0103ri. Vrea s\u0103 creeze cea mai mare re\u0163ea de camere de hoteluri din lume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
