Moody's revised the outlook to positive to reflect expectations that OYO will sustain stronger earnings and free cash flow generation over the next 12-18 months, which will support further deleveraging while maintaining very good liquidity.

OYO plans to raise approximately Rs 6,650 crore through its initial public offering via a fresh issue of shares, with around Rs 5,000 crore designated to repay existing debt.

OYO was founded in 2013 by Ritesh Agarwal, who holds a 30.52 percent stake in the company. The largest shareholder is SVF India Holdings (Cayman) Limited, a subsidiary of SoftBank Group Corp, with a 40.04 percent stake.
