Small and medium sized enterprises from western countries are increasingly hiring virtual staff from India. The companies are taking benefits of the remote working solutions to increase their hiring from India. Industry experts and stakeholders report that these companies are allowing Indians to work from anywhere, but as per the western time zone.
Viral Thakker, Partner at Deloitte says, “WFH (Work from home) has opened up the broader thinking around work from anywhere.” Kamal Karanth, co-founder of Xpheno says, “Ideally they would outsource these to call centers or proper BPOs in India. But now they’re saying why to go to those firms if there are credible players whom they can rely upon to staff them.”
The services which are in demand include content creation, social media management, remote sales, and digital marketing. According to Ashish Singh, founder of Bzird Inc, virtual staffing as a business for him has grown by 300% during 2020. The salaries for the virtual staffers range between Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 60,000 per month. Highly skilled coders and engineers are expected to earn between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 1.75 lakh per month.
