==History==

Zostel Hospitality Pvt. Ltd was established in August 2013 by seven co-founders Akhil Malik, Dharmveer Singh Chouhan, Paavan Nanda & Tarun Tiwari alumni of ''[[Indian Institute of Management Calcutta]]'', Chetan Singh Chauhan & Abhishek Bhutra alumni of ''[[Indian Institute of Technology, BHU]]'' and Siddharth Janghu alumnus of MDI Gurgaon.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/jaipur/iim-calcutta-students-set-up-backpackers-hostels-in-rajasthan/article1-1183892.aspx|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150805234548/http://www.hindustantimes.com/jaipur/iim-calcutta-students-set-up-backpackers-hostels-in-rajasthan/article1-1183892.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 5, 2015|title=IIM-Calcutta students set up backpackers' hostels in Rajasthan|work=www.hindustantimes.com/|access-date=September 23, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/why-these-iim-calcutta-grads-do-not-want-placements-552129|title=Why these IIM-Calcutta grads do not want placements|author=Monideepa Banerjie|date=February 26, 2014|work=NDTV.com|access-date=September 23, 2015}}</ref>

==De-listed By Online Travel Agencies==
Online travel agencies like Goibibo, Yatra, Stay Zilla blocked ZO Rooms along with Oyo Rooms in order to protect market share however still in operations with MakeMyTrip to cater needs of budget customer. In a recent interview with The Times of India, ZO Rooms co-founder Paavan Nanda said it's not a shocking transition as it was already expected.<ref name="indiatimes4">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-news/MakeMyTrip-Goibibo-Yatra-block-OYO-Zo-Rooms/articleshow/49594268.cms|title=MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Yatra block OYO & Zo Rooms – Times of India|publisher=timesofindia.indiatimes.com|access-date=December 2, 2015}}</ref>
