Rangwani’s company Wishup — can provide experts trained and ready to handle recurring and specialized tasks such as social media maintenance, online research, invoicing and payment, ecommerce assistance, and other functions, further enabling the business leaders to focus their energies on growing their business.
Wishup is a virtual assistant marketplace that connects a talented pool of individuals with business owners/entrepreneurs.
“We understand what is happening in the US workforce, and how it needs to change and grow with the economy. Outsourcing to India can be an important part of that change and growth, especially since American companies do not have to ‘break the bank’ to gain and retain employees.”

Talent is expensive, Rangwani notes, and global economic conditions make it possible to provide highly competent executive assistants at an overall rate significantly below what the same level of skill would cost in the US.
