Gupta wanted to resign from Philips to join Oyo, but he needed an offer letter first, which he quite literally had to print out himself.

"So, I actually had to go to the office and print my own offer letter because there was no HR. There was a junior HR person, our chief HR officer got hired later," Gupta said.

"I went to the office, I figured out who the person was. I said 'aap mera chithi nikaal do' (issue me the letter) so that I can resign," he said.
