Ritesh Agarwal becomes a dad, says 'new chapter' has begun

After taking the startup world by storm and making his mark as an entrepreneur, OYO Rooms founder Ritesh Agarwal has embarked on another journey - this time more personal.

The entrepreneur, who recently became a father, took to X (formerly Twitter) on December 7, to share the good news with his followers.

Sharing a picture of his newborn, Agarwal gushed about his little bundle of joy, like any proud dad, and wrote about starting a new chapter in his life - parenthood.


“The miracle of life is breathtaking, and our hearts are forever changed. Meet our precious little one - Aryan. The sleepless nights spent building OYO were just a warm-up for the sleepless nights of parenthood, and yet, I've never been happier than I am at this very moment! Here's to us, my incredible wife Geet, the bundle of joy Aryan, and to the new chapter we're writing together – filled with love, laughter, and the indescribable happiness that only a little one can bring,” he wrote.

In the picture, only the tiny hand of the infant is visible.

Reacting to the picture, Dr Shriram Nene, Madhuri Dixit’s husband left a stream of red hearts, and wrote, “ Heartiest congrats. Now the games begin. Enjoy!”

Another Twitter user wrote, “Get ready for sleepless nights and heart-melting cuddles! Heartiest congratulations on becoming a father and experiencing the wonders of parenthood.”

On the work front, Agarwal recently joined the judging panel of the Indian reality TV show ‘Shark Tank India’.
