Ad row: Aim was to promote religious tourism not hurt sentiments, says Oyo

Facing netizens’ outrage over its newspaper advertisement, travel tech unicorn Oyo on Friday clarified that the ad was meant to promote religious tourism in India and not hurt any religious sentiments.

Several users took to social media platform X to raise objections to the phrase ‘God is Everywhere. And so is Oyo’ in the advertisement about company-serviced stays in spiritual destinations including Ajmer, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Mathura, Amritsar, Shirdi, Ujjain, among others.
