Oyo CEO and founder Ritesh Agarwal shared a tweet on Sunday, where he narrated an incident from almost a decade ago about a customer experience during the early days of the startup.

Writing on Sunday, Agarwal shared that during the initial days at OYO, his number was shared listed on the customer care page.

"Throwback to 2013/14, in front of our third property in Gurgaon with the front office manager. I don't exactly remember who I was on a call with but most likely it was a customer trying to book a hotel at 12 am in the night since our website had crashed," Agarwal wrote.

"Oh, the memories! Back in the early years of OYO, my number was even listed on the customer care page. It's incredible to see how far we've come since then!," he added.
