Sanders will be given the responsibility of establishing the hotel chain in the United Kingdom. Tan Ming Luk was formerly the Malaysia head of Ofo, the Chinese dockless bike-sharing platform and now, he is going to lead strategy development for Ola in the region.
Apart from these, in China, Wilson Li had been recently appointed by OYO as the Chief Financial Officer, while Jia Zhou had been appointed as the CTO and Tong Liang as the Chief HR.

The Indian budget hospitality chain has ventured into a number of overseas markets from the last few years. It has also received funding from investors for this purpose. Last month, i.e., in December 2018, the company raised $100 Million from Singapore-based Ride-hailing company Grab.
