Furthermore, OYO is celebrating the RCB relationship by painting nation happy & gleefully red – signage and banners of the OYO-RCB partnership can be seen on various OYO hotels across the city. For customers not watching the match at the stadium, special match screenings and F&B packages are being arranged across hotels in the city – M.G. Road, Indiranagar, Koramangala, Electronic City and Shanthi Nagar. Similar screenings are being held in Delhi, Mumbai, Gurugram, Kolkata and Agra.
