“These stays will be free for refugees who cannot pay for them, and the costs will be borne by the company and its homeowners, who volunteer to host refugees. The company will support administratively and help cover operational expenses incurred by the homeowners,” OYO said in a statement.

Commenting on the move, OYO founder and Group CEO Ritesh Agarwal said, “We are deeply inspired by our homeowners opening their homes and hearts to people in dire need. We are committed to supporting them and driving this effort in every way. We will continue to explore every avenue to ensure all possible support for refugees in European countries”.
