Ritesh Agarwal
Founder & Chief Executive Officer, OYO
When Ritesh Agarwal started Oravel in 2013, he was just 19 years old. He left home to become an entrepreneur with one idea in mind: “Make travel and stay a comfortable and great experience for middle-class India.” According to him, any hotel that a middle-class family went to, they wouldn’t have clean sheets, no option of breakfast, or even good plumbing. All that was just a five-star hotel experience, and he wanted to change that. A college dropout, Ritesh has been the winner of the 2013 Thiel Fellowship Program and received a $100,000 grant. Last year, his net worth was estimated to be Rs 2,600 crore, according to Hurun India Rich List.
