Oyo founder Ritesh Agarwal visits Maha Kumbh with son: ‘Standing at Mahakumbh with…’

Oyo founder and CEO Ritesh Agarwal joined the growing list of prominent figures visiting the Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Sharing his experience via a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) and Meta’s Instagram, Agarwal reflected on the significance of the event, often called the world’s largest gathering. He also shared a video while on a boat ride with his son, Ary, reminiscing about attending the Kumbh Mela over two decades ago.
He wrote “Standing at Mahakumbh with Ary for the first time, I was overwhelmed by a flood of memories from my own first visit. I remember feeling so small, yet part of something so much bigger. Today, I stood beside him, hoping he finds his own answers, his own faith, and his own path. This isn’t just a tradition; it’s a legacy. A legacy of belief, hope, and the courage to dream.”

In the video, he also recalled his visit to Kumbh in 2000 when he stayed at a relative’s home. Expressing gratitude, he said that it was then when he decided to do a hotel/accommodation business.

His post garnered numerous comments from users praising his humility and perspective. One user remarked “Sir you are genius and humble. Your guidance always helps us for our entrepreneurship journey. You are such a nice and genuine person I have seen.” Another user commented, “Such a polite person,” and “You are a very humble… down-to-earth person.”
“That's called a grounded man,” said a third.
