A 2018 interview quote from OYO founder Ritesh Agarwal revealed one of the rawest truths of startup life: “Stay away from family when you’re building a startup. They make your life difficult.” Coming from someone who started by selling SIM cards in rural Odisha… and went on to build OYO Rooms at just 19, this hits different. With just 10,000 in seed capital, he reimagined India’s entire budget-hotel industry and turned OYO into one of the world’s largest hospitality startups. His message is simple, but powerful: Age doesn’t matter. Background doesn’t matter. Resources don’t matter. Execution does.
