AskSunday is one of the most prominent, but certainly not the only personal assistant/tech help company in India that with the enormous drop in long distance communications prices is growing exponentially.

With middle-class America being able to afford these long distance calls with services like VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), Skype, email, chat, and even the ease of long distance cheap communication through internet connected cell phones and PDAs, getting your menial tasks done by an overseas company has never been more affordable.

GetFriday, another company based in India that helps mostly US clients with mundane tasks such as organizing a party, finding a particular item online, locating services, and almost anything else that can be done from a distance, grew from a single desk operation to now having over 140 employees and is still growing.

It’s not likely to slow down anytime soon.  Outsourcing to India has been an issue in the national news for some time now, but this is not an outsourcing issue.  These companies are Indian owned, managed, and went through the same start up troubles as any other business would have in initial advertising, finding clients, building a client base, and customer service on a budget.  While it may be safe to say that the cost of living is significantly less in India (at least at the time this article was written), there is absolutely nothing stopping an American entrepreneur from a similar business.
