21-Yr-Old Start-Up Entrepreneur Ritesh Agarwal Started By Selling SIM Cards In Rayagada:

Kolkata: Ritesh Agarwal's story is the stuff blockbuster movies are made of — the amazing, inspiring tale of a runaway kid who turned millionaire entrepreneur.

Ritesh, who left his home in Rayagada as a teenager to seek his fortune, started out by selling SIM cards to make ends meet. Today, the 21-year-old is founder and CEO of OYO Rooms, an online aggregator of budget hotel rooms. OYO Rooms recently raised Rs 650 crore in funding from Japan's Soft-Bank.

Born at Bisamkatak, Ritesh grew up in the small town of Rayagada. The young entrepreneur, who is now based in Gurgaon, says, "My childhood was similar to any small town kid's. I was raised in a middle-class family in Rayagada. I was good at studies and played sports. The only difference was I had big dreams even as a child — I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur."

As a child, he loved writing and was deeply interested in computer programming. "I started taking programming lessons at the age of 10," says Ritesh.

Ritesh remembers the teacher who spent hours teaching him computer programming. "He was an engineer by education and had shifted to Rayagada to be with his family. He was the first person to teach me the importance of perseverance. I failed many times, but he never gave up on me and kept motivating me," he says.

He reminisces about how excited he was the first time he created a computer progam. "I was thrilled and ecstatic. It was the first time I had created something. I wish I could put that feeling in words. I felt on the top of the world," he says.

Now a high-flying CEO who's constantly on the move as his business grows by leaps and bounds, Ritesh misses the simple life and people back home in Rayagada whom he credits his learnings to.

"I used to spend a lot of time at a local temple there. It was a peaceful place and I miss it a lot," Ritesh says, adding he is very close to his siblings.

The young entrepreneur speaks Telugu, Bengali, Haryanvi and a little bit of Mandarin apart from Odia! "Whenever I go to Odisha, I make it a point to converse in Odia. If you ever bump into my team and me in Odisha, you will find us mostly talking in Odia." The young man also has a weakness for sweets. "I love gorging on 'chhena poda'," he says.

Apart from his entrepreneurial venture, Ritesh has other feathers in his cap as well. At the age of 18, he became the first Indian to be chosen for the Thiel Fellowship and was given a $100,000 grant by early Facebook investor and PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel. The fellowship is given to entrepreneurs below 20 years of age who skip college for two years to start their own business. He used most of that money to bolster his hotel business, which was already taking shape by that time.

Ritesh has several business plans for his home state. "We are currently in Bhubaneshwar, Puri and Cuttack and we soon plan to launch in Rourkela, Jharsuguda, Sambalpur, Balasore and tourists destinations like Chandipur and Gopalpur. Our long-term goal is to have around 500 properties in the state. We see a lot of potential in the state."

Ritesh feels Odisha has huge business potential due to its abundant human and natural resources. "The people of Odisha believe in frugal living and that is very essential to run a successful business. Though they are well connected to their roots, I see a hunger in them to adopt technology. I believe tech-based initiatives can do really well in the state."

The state offers many opportunities for entrepreneurs, he adds. "Odisha's economy is growing steadily and the state presents exciting avenues for entrepreneurs. It's an amazing leisure destination and also an industrial hub because of its rich mineral diversity," he says.

Asked about an entrepreneur from Odisha he admires, he names Dilip Ray, the chief managing director of the Mayfair Group of Hotels.

His advice to aspiring entrepreneurs in the state? "Remain committed to solving the problem you are passionate about. Also, it's important to remain perseverant in the face of failure. Don't give up."
