Last week, shareholders of Oravel Stays, OYO’s parent company, approved the conversion of the company from a private limited company to a public limited company, according to a regulatory filing.
Earlier, the board of Oravel Stays had approved an increase in the authorised share capital of the company from ₹1.17 crore to ₹901 crore.
In August, in an Registrar of Companies (RoC) filing, OYO had said that Microsoft Corporation has invested nearly $5 million (about ₹37 crore) in OYO through the issuance of equity shares and compulsory convertible cumulative preference shares on a private placement basis.
