Oyo (1698548D IN) is a leading hospitality technology platform. Its DRHP aimed for a $1.2 billion raise although recent reports point to a less than $1 billion raise.
The fundamentals are mixed as it remains uncertain if it can deliver profits or cash generation with a return to growth (due to gradual lifting of travel restrictions).
Based on the information in the DRHP, we believe the negatives outweigh the positives and we would give the IPO a pass.
