Their company philosophy is to provide virtual assistants, or ‘task officers’ as they call them, to busy business owners. They provide a cost-effective solution and free up time for the business owners as their task officers handle some of their workload.

About Task Papa
Task Papa operates out of the economic heart of India, Mumbai. All of their workers are based in their offices and managed in-house. I spoke with Amit Joshi, Sales Manager for Task Papa, he commented, “We strongly believe in giving awesome results to our clients and this is only possible when you have in-house workers.”
Their team is currently 40+ strong and growing, with several on-site project managers, and an additional layer of operations management to oversee all the virtual assistants.
The company founder, Devang Selani, has over 10 years of experience in the customer service industry. He was inspired to start Task Papa after visiting and experiencing working with clients in the US.
Amit described their target customers as, “anyone and everyone who wants to save time. This could be anyone from businessmen to self-employed workers to freelancers.” As for their areas of specialization, personal assistants and admin officers seem to be where they place most of their focus.

Task Papa is a great company.
Their pricing plans made it easy for me to compare how cheap their rates really are compared to other VA organizations. I signed up with them, their tele-marketing expert contacted me right away to help me create a better marketing plan for me to grow my business.
I look forward to a long relationship with them.
Task Papa help was exactly what I needed. They worked hard to identify exactly what I needed and found a perfect VA for me. It has worked even better than I expected and the support and follow-up has been fantastic. I consider my VA to be another member of our management team after only a few months. He works hard to provide assistance to all the members of our team and has definitely made our company better. I’m a very happy customer.
I’ve had a great experience with Task Papa. My VA is timely, has excellent communication skills, and is a problem solver. All tasks are taken care by him by the end of the day as guided. Now I can focus on my business and family. Looking forward to work with him for long. Thanks!
One of the best services I’ve ever received by a VA firm. My virtual assistant – Vicky was amazing and the tasks were performed with superlative quality. They handled my data research, data management and social media postings very efficiently. I would recommend this company if you are after a professional service at cost effective rates.
Devang and Pearl have been helping me develop a website. They have been honest and upfront with numerous complications and complexities that I may face, while trying to compete my project. I think that their honesty and innovative solutions to my potential issues are what won them my business and full support. I look forward to having a completed site and I am happy with my decision to pick Task Papa.
I am thankful to Task Papa for providing me a wonderful service. I researched well on this company and decided to try their services as they were ready to offer me a trial period for 4 hours. This was awesome. Within 2 hours of the trial period, I decided to continue with their services and I don’t regret my decision. Thanks, Task Papa and Krishna (My Task Officer) for helping me out with my petty tasks. I would love to continue my relation with your company.
Task Papa was referred to me by one of my friend. I was new to this concept of Outsourcing my personal assignments. Initially I was wary of this concept (and company) but I went with the flow since the feedback came from one of my seniors.
Getting through the initial selection process of my Task Officer was extremely smooth. It took them only a day to put forward 2 candidates.
Raj was extremely courteous, cooperative and in total control of my tasks. His Team Leader only pitched in when needed to ensure that Raj had complete authority and ownership of the task.
I have ensured that I have Raj with me for almost anything I need help on.
Great Concept and Awesome Company to work with!
Damian,
It was great working with you and thanks for the review. Raj is doing great and has come a long way after being your VA. Thanks again.
Hope are happy to be at your service 🙂
Thanks,
