OYO renames corporate entity name to 'PRISM' to reflect global expansion

IPO-bound hospitality giant OYO has unveiled a major corporate rebranding.

In a letter to shareholders, OYO founder and chairman Ritesh Agarwal announced that Prism Life - or simply Prism - will serve as the overarching corporate entity for the group's wide-ranging portfolio.
