Rajesh Magow, Co-founder & CEO India, MakeMyTrip said, "With OYO's evolution as a full-scale hospitality company, we are excited to offer their award-winning chain of hotels in the value economy and mid-market category through MakeMyTrip and Goibibo platforms". In an interaction in August 2016, Magow said the firm removed OYO because of quality issues. "They were becoming a competition in the budget space. They wanted to aggregate properties and then leverage our platform. It did not make sense for us," he had said.
