Kindly shed some light on your business model and its role in
creating personalized office spaces for clients.
Qualified as a chartered accountant and cost accountant, my strongest motto always was to launch a new venture every three-four years over diverse lines of businesses. While overseeing the business at My Branch, I witnessed that most of my clients were longing to open their branches in as many cities possible but were alarmed by the huge hassles and costs involved with it. Hence I came up with a unique business model that can assist clients throughout their entire process of office expansion with at affordable costs.
" I witnessed that most of my clients were longing to open their branches in as many cities possible but were alarmed by the huge hassles and costs involved with it"
With the recourse of vast experiences in setting up BPOs for the domestic market, we firstly take a larger space of about 5,000-7,000 sq. ft. area in a smaller town and create offices with common amenities like training rooms, meeting rooms, single sitting spaces, virtual offices, cafeteria, reception, security, housekeeping and many more, for clients to avail them as long as they require. In addition, we manage to provide personalized furniture, interiors and other essentials for a new office. Our branch offices are ready just in a span of 3 weeks from the time we sign on the dotted line with the client.
What other benefits do your clients relish with respect to office expansion?
Over the past 39 years, I have forayed into numerous fields like BPOs, HR, IT and others. 'Calibehr' is my other company which is a professional business services enterprise coalescing the synergies of people, process and technology. Our Calibehr team helps clients with compliant services, back office activities, hardware, technology-oriented projects, logistics and other facets entailed in opening an office at significantly low costs.
On the other hand, we safeguard people as well as their data at My Branch via establishing office spaces comprised of servers with secured data, doors with access control, specific compliances like two lifts, two exits, fire sprinklers, fire safety devices & others, and buildings with fire NOC and occupancy certificate.
