One of the best hotel memories that travellers have is the moment when they see their hotel room for the first time. A neatly done bed, spotless white linen, dustfree floor and fittings, shining washrooms and a rejuvenating, fragrant ambience are undoubtedly what helps us create our first impression of our temporary home, and often, decides whether we end up liking or disliking it.

But behind the richness of the ambience and the cleanliness of the room lie hours of dedicated effort from people who actually make such experiences possible. Some of the most dedicated people work with us as part of our OYO Care initiative and they often tell us stories of their amazing journey that is not only thought-provoking but also very inspiring.

Meet our OYO Care team and learn more about them below.

Geeta Thapa, 26

Geeta arrived from Nepal a few years ago with a great will to give her family a better life. A mother of two children, she chose to work at OYO Care because the 9 hour shift allowed her to spend more time with her family and make sure that her young children were being looked after well. Geeta had always been fascinated by cars as a young girl, and the fact that the OYO Care van lets her travel within the city makes it an even more enjoyable job.

Tapan Sahu, 23

Hailing from North Paragnas in West Bengal, Tapan spent the early days of his career working at an airport. The long working hours, stressful working conditions and delays in receipt of salary made him look for better options. Today, he works as a janitor at OYO Care. Excited to be working under the guidance of a team headed by thorough housekeeping professionals, Tapan loves the fact that his salary is credited to him in a timely manner. Also, he no longer suffers from the stressful work conditions of his previous job, and manages to find time for his own pursuits.

Jagdish Prasad, 24

When asked, Jagdish had to think hard before he could tell us his age. Many of our OYO Care team members hail from underpriviledged backgrounds, and never had the luxury to go to school. But despite all odds, Jagdish managed to come to Delhi NCR from Lucknow a few months ago and started working at OYO Care as a janitor. His biggest joy these days is to interact with OYO’s guests. A father of two children, Jagdish is a great example of the belief that true learning does not always happen within walls of a classroom, and can happen on the job too.

So, this was their story. Take a minute out of your busy schedule and look at the people around you. Everyone has a story to tell, and quite often, these stories end up teaching us a lot more than textbooks ever can.
