OYO launches company-serviced hotels with a new campaign
Mumbai: OYO has announced the launch of its newest campaign film ‘Kya Baat Kar Rahe Ho’, highlighting its extensive network of premium company-serviced hotels across the country. This initiative marks a significant enhancement in OYO’s service offering, introducing an elevated guest experience through innovative features like the quick check-in on the OYO app. To make finding and booking these premium properties easier, OYO has also introduced a new tag on its app, simplify finding and booking the hotel on the app.
Partnering with the creative agency Moonshot, founded by Tanmay Bhat and Devaiah Bopanna OYO’s campaign aims to transform outdated perceptions and highlight the brand’s commitment to providing premium experiences for families, friends, solo adventures, and every kind of traveler. This advertisement was written by Tanmay Bhat, Devaiah Bopanna, Puneet Chadha and Deep Joshi from Moonshot. It is directed by Rahul Bharti with production handled by Sun City Studios.
The film opens with a young couple, Sunita and Rishabh, sitting at the dinner table with Sunita’s parents and grandmother. When Sunita announces that they have booked an OYO for the weekend, her parents react with shock, humorously nodding to OYO’s past reputation as a “couples hotel.” As the story unfolds, Rishabh invites the entire family, increasing their surprise. The narrative then shifts to reveal the family standing in a luxurious OYO hotel lobby, where they are amazed by the premium services and elegant surroundings.
The campaign creatively addresses and dispels outdated views of OYO, emphasizing its new focus on versatility. Whether it’s a family vacation, a weekend getaway with friends, a student studying for an exam, spending ‘me time’, or partying with friends – OYO now offers premium experiences for every type of traveler. Adding shock value through storytelling, the campaign reveals how the old OYO has transformed into a new, premium brand that caters to all.
OYO founder and CEO Ritesh Agarwal stated, “We are excited to reintroduce our new company-serviced hotels. Our goal is to provide a premium, reliable, and enjoyable stay for every type of traveler, and this step highlights our commitment to transforming perceptions and exceeding expectations.”
Moonshot co-founder Devaiah Bopanna added, “Working on this campaign was a fantastic experience. We wanted to capture the surprise and delight of discovering the new OYO, and I hope we’ve done just that. The new OYO has something for everyone, and I hope this film helps convey that message.”
These company-serviced properties, run and operated by OYO, are designed to elevate the stay experience. From cozy retreats to luxurious getaways, each property offers premium experiences available at OYO properties, including spick & span linen, seamless check-in, prompt on-call service, delicious breakfasts, and dependable Wi-Fi, emphasizing the brand’s dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction.
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
