Nagpur's Tech Firm Partners with OYO for Global Expansion

During a recent event hosted by OYO and Nagpur-based tech company HotelKey, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari encouraged OYO founder Ritesh Agarwal to explore opportunities for establishing hotels in scenic locations around Nagpur, such as Ambhora and Tadoba. 

"With the development of highways, these locations could become prime spots for hospitality," Gadkari remarked. Agarwal welcomed the suggestion enthusiastically, stating, “While you build the infrastructure, I’ll ensure hotels spring up alongside.”

HotelKey’s Remarkable Growth  

HotelKey, a Nagpur-born tech firm offering ERP solutions, marked a milestone by formalizing its partnership with OYO. Speaking at the event, HotelKey President Aditya Thyagarajan reflected on the company’s journey. 

"We started in a modest 400 sq ft office in Shankar Nagar. A decade later, our solutions manage 1.25 million rooms across 18,000 hotels globally," he shared"

The company operates its primary backend team from Nagpur’s IT Park while maintaining its global headquarters in the United States. Thyagarajan, originally from Amravati, credited his travels across India, owing to his father’s role as a senior railway officer, for shaping his perspectives.
