SoftBank ends venture with India's Oyo Hotels in Latin America

Breakup comes less than six months after they struck a partnership in the region

SoftBank Group has poured $75 million into Oyo in Latin America, part of its more than $1 billion investment in the parent company. 

SAO PAULO (Reuters) -- The Latin American unit of Indian hotel startup Oyo Corp has ended its joint venture with the SoftBank Latin America Fund, less than six months after they struck a partnership in the region, both companies said on Thursday.

Oyo's business in Latin America, known as Oyo Latam, on Wednesday said it was moving to a digital-only model, and that the changes would require laying off nearly its entire staff.
