Social Impact
DesiCrew aims at creating knowledge jobs by outsourcing to educated but socially, economically, and/or geographically disadvantaged Indians.
Across the board benefits of employment at DesiCrew are visible for employees and their families. The increase in income levels has provided basic sustenance and spiked investments in homes as well as higher education. Employees hold great pride in their work and the new skills they have acquired at DesiCrew, which has translated into higher confidence levels and greater aspirations for the future. All of these factors have encouraged rural workers to stay rural thereby initiating a trend of reverse migration.
On a macro level, the rural BPO model has potential for greater impact given that approximately 70% of India's population resides in rural areas. If 50 people working in 1000 towns/ villages earn Rs 5,000 (~100 USD) per month - that is Rs 250 million (~5 million USD) per month being infused into local communities through local residents. On a comparative scale, average monthly household income of these employees would have been Rs 1,500 (~30 USD) per month.
With a social mission driving our business, we are focused on harnessing our business model for generating wealth in the rural economy rather than extracting wealth from the rural areas.
