You're right, that was/is a phase. The FHRAI (federation of hotels and restaurant association of India) complained against some of OYO's business practices in July this year and it made a lot of news (mostly changing policies with regards to commission and also delaying commission) to the Competition Commission of India.

Currently, OYO is making news for 4 reasons:

* Protests from hotels (so called OYOpreneurs)

* OYO founder's buyback funded by debt against shares and Sequoia, Lightspeed exit

* OYO growing a lot and acquiring companies worldwide

* Possibility of OYO being a WeWork in the making
