This video gives you a behind-the-scenes look at eLuminous’ virtual assistant office setup, their leadership team, and even a little glimpse into their company culture.
I thought it was a cool way to share what it’s like over there, and to see something a little different from the super-polished stock-photo-laden marketing videos you typically see.
eLuminous Services
eLuminous breaks down their services into five main categories, and have a separate department for each of the following:
- Administrative Virtual Assistants

So depending on the client’s business requirements, they can assign the Virtual Assistant specializing in that area.
Their key competency is saving the client’s valuable productive time and let them focus on what is important for them. Their stats with other clients indicate that on an average their one Virtual Assistant can save at least 2 hours’ of productive time for their client, which is a big plus. This definitely adds to productivity and let your key employees focus on what is more crucial for them.

Based on my conversation with Sandeep, it sounded like their preference was to work with clients on the 160-hour engagement. He also indicated the clients that see the best results are the ones that have clearly-defined goals and outcomes in mind.
When paying for a package you are purchasing a number of hours per month. The hours will be used up as your tasks are completed, and you can keep an eye on the progress.

No questions asked refunds (on unused hours) are guaranteed if things do not work for any reason. If you find that eLuminous VA is not a fit for what you are looking for, we will refund the amount (against unused hours) without a single question asked.
eLuminous Technologies Alternatives
When I asked eLuminous what sets them apart from their competitors, they cited their 15-day money-back guarantee, quality of service and flexible payment options. Sandeep also told me they really try and take a consultative approach in learning about your business so they make suggestions and become a valuable partner.
The virtual assistant marketplace is a competitive and crowded one. If you’re looking at virtual assistant companies in India, My Tasker or VA Talks might be worth a look, though neither have the 18+ year track record of eLuminous.
That said, they offer similar pricing and it probably makes sense to reach out to at least a couple different companies to see who impresses you and who seems like a good fit for your requirements.

Have you worked with eLuminous Technologies? If so please leave a comment below to help others with making an informed decision.
I have been using Eluminous for about 6 years now and they always exceed my expectations. I have never had any problems outsourcing work to them and as far as I’m concerned they are the best company I have ever done business with. They have great attention to detail and very hard working. Their customer service is superb and the staff are a pleasure to work with. The best thing is, through their help I have added hugh profits to my bottomline.They are my secret weapon!
We’ve been working with Eluminous for nearly 6 months. The VA’s that we have been working with have been excellent; they’ve been very supportive and provide excellent support and advice. They alway come back with solutions rather than problems. We really feel that they care about our business and treat it as if it were their own. We would definitely recommend them to anyone that needs VA services.
I’ve been working with one particular VA from eLuminous now for about 3 weeks and he’s been very helpful. I’m based in Australia so I was concerned about communication, but the VA I’m working with has excellent English and communication has been a breeze. The thing that stood out when I was interviewing VAs was the structures and systems or that they could recommend we put in place to support the effective use of their time.
I have been using Eluminous for about a month now and am very happy with the speed and knowledge levels. All tasks are completed quickly and thoroughly. I look forward to a long relationship. Thanks so much!
I have engaged VAs from eluminous now for nearly two years. They have undertaken a range of activities for me associated with marketing, data cleansing, graphic design, research, social media management. They are always professional and show initiative when they see something that could be improved. They are always available and “go the extra mile” to ensure the quality of their work is excellent. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs reliable, high quality, attentive VA services
