"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.
The tweet saw many responses, some of whom praised Agarwal for his journey.

"That must've been a truly incredible journey. Even when I recall the times a year ago when people believed "Sort My Scene" would only be around for a month or two? And here we are as the 3rd LARGEST nightlife ticketing platform," one user wrote.
