Meet Shark Tank India's New Judge, Ritesh Agarwal.
OYO Rooms was founded by a merely 18-year-old college dropout who belongs to a small town in Orissa which has a literacy rate of about 20%. Inspired by his sister he decided at the age of 8 that he wanted to grow up and be an entrepreneur.
Today he is not only one of the youngest CEOs in our country but also the first Asian resident of the Thiel Fellowship Program, under which he founded OYO.
Ritesh Agarwal, the founder and CEO of OYO Rooms, is bringing a fresh perspective to Shark Tank India Season 3 - and guess what? He's the youngest face on the panel! At just 29, Ritesh is diving into the world of Shark Tank. He recently shared how, at the beginning of his own entrepreneurial journey, resources were scarce. Yet, the generosity and support from mentors, VCs, and fellow founders made things a bit easier. Now, he's thrilled to give back. Ritesh has been supporting various startups, guiding entrepreneurs, and helping small businesses across India. Originally from a Marwari family in Odisha, he founded OYO and has achieved incredible success.
