The company has also announced other relief for employees who opt for an extension of leave and opt for self-employment. It also announced financial assistance for employees, rebate on ESOP vesting, health insurance coverage. On this, Oyo (India and South Asia) CEO Rohit Kapoor said that ‘the company never does this in ideal condition. We know you expected a lot from us, but we are sorry about that. We are currently living in a world where everything is far from ideal.’

Oyo’s business is in over 80 countries. This time there has been a decline in revenue due to the Corona crisis. In such a situation, the company had to make decisions like cutting the salary of its employees, sending them on leave without pay. 

Due to this, the company has to revisit its working model. The company has been customized as a ‘hybrid workplace model’ to help the company function at full capacity without compromising the health and safety of its employees.
