Early formative years
The company's YourManInIndia service was the first to provide a range of concierge services that enabled Indians living overseas to get things done in India, virtually. In that, they even handled parental care and other errands, back home on their behalf. One such Indian expat in NY, Mr Misha went on to share his experiences with his friend Mr AJ Jacobs (AJ), the editor-at-large of the popular men's magazine Esquire.

2000–2007
AJ Jacobs, at that time inspired by Thomas Friedman’s ‘The World Is Flat’ wondered why the benefits of outsourcing should be limited to only the Fortune 500s, why not to an individual like him. So he set upon to experiment and approached YourManInIndia in May 2005 with a request to virtually handle his personal life. While the bizarre request did seem to sound like a joke, the company nevertheless went ahead with the experiment. He outsourced his personal life by sending across things he wanted to do in NY to YourManInIndia. AJ went to write a humorous article My Outsourced Life in the Esquire which captured people’s imagination and the attention of the international press. The experiment gained popularity and was featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, NPR, WSJ, NYT and other international media. Sensing an opportunity, the company formed a separate division for virtual assistant services and christened it as ‘GetFriday.' The service was again featured as YourManInIndia (YMII) in Tim Ferriss’s New York Times best-selling book ‘The Four Hour Work Week’ published in 2007.
