Your personal assistant, half a world away

By Laurie Goering

In the latest twist on globalization, it is now possible to hire a personal assistant—in India—to take care of just about anything you don't have time to do and that can be accomplished via phone or the Internet.

Need your daughter's birthday party organized? A snowplow to clear your driveway? Your résumé and cover letter sent out to potential employers? How about a romantic vegan dinner for two delivered to your home, complete with live music?

A personal assistant working from a cubicle in Bangalore or Hyderabad now can arrange all that and a whole lot more, and not just for the long-pampered uber-rich but for a much bigger market: America's exhausted middle class.

Now, "I call when I need something, and I pay for the work they provide—no stress or anxiety about unproductive time or employees." For somebody who is "spread very thin," he says, "that's huge."
