SoftBank led a $1bn round into OYO alongside a founder-led buyback that lifted his holding in the company.

What that amount buys

$1.00B is roughly 13 long-range private jets, 2.4K median-priced US homes, or 12.4K years of median US household income.

Ritesh Agarwal is publicly known as founder, oyo rooms. The arc drawn for this entry joins Gurugram and Tokyo because those are the places the two sides of the deal are based — it is not the route a wire took through the banking system.
