Ritesh Agarwal, the founder, and CEO of cheap hotel franchise OYO, tied the knot with his fiancee, Geetansha Sood, on March 7.
The newlyweds hosted a wedding reception at the Taj Palace in New Delhi. Several bigshots of the business and startup world were in attendance. The guest list included names such as Softbank Group founder Masayoshi Son and Vijay Shekhar Sharma the founder of the digital payments app Paytm. Other bigwigs such as Lenskart CEO Peyush also attended the wedding. Union minister Prahlad Singh Patel also attended the wedding and posed for selfies with the duo.

The Paytm boss shared some pictures from the wedding. Taking to Twitter, he drooped some candid selfies of himself posing with Masayoshi and wrote, “Ultimate joy today, seeing Masa smiling, happy, and enjoying his India trip. Everyone of us had tons of gratitude for his belief and support given to our startups," he wrote.
Softbank has been one of the most prominent investors in the Indian startup ecosystem and is said to have spent almost $15 billion. Multiple unicorn startups such as OYO, Lenskart, Ola, etc were the benefactors of such investments, during their early stages.
Last month, Agarwal hit headlines when he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with his wife and fiance and invited him to his wedding.
OYO specialises in affordable yet hygienic accommodations. Currently, it operates all over India, across 800 cities.
