Wishup is a virtual assistant company based in India. Their assistants specialize in taking care of all those small day-to-day tasks, so as a business owner you can focus on growing your business instead of being tied down by administrative tasks.
The company started operations in 2015. Their target customers are entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes and they work with clients all over the globe.
About Wishup
The company is run by Neelesh Rangwani and Vivek Gupta. They named the company “Wishup” because their goal when starting the business was to fulfill the wishes of their clients by helping them outsource some of their workloads.
They provide what they call, a “Virtual Executive Assistant Service,” specializing in taking on a lot of the tasks a personal assistant would typically handle in a business.
These include managing your calendar, handling your scheduling and travel arrangements, managing your emails, the social media accounts for yourself and your business, and any other tasks that are causing you to take time away from the most “important” business tasks.
How Wishup Works
When you sign up for an hourly plan, a member of their team will discuss your requirements with you and assign a virtual assistant they see as the best fit for you and your business.
Wishup says that all of their assistants are college educated, vetted, verified, and trained in-house for a month before working with clients.
One of the key features Wishup offer that separates them from some of their competitors is their app which adds some useful functionality and an extra line of communication.
You can keep up-to-date with the progress of your tasks, talk directly to your virtual assistant, and leave feedback or ratings on the work they’ve done on your mobile phone.

I have been a US-based client of Wishup for over 6 months and am very happy with the service. My VA has already become a key member of my team to handle administrative and other business tasks. Her communication and task management skills are strong. The Wishup management team is responsive and cares about delivering an excellent service. Would recommend this to entrepreneurs around the world!
Really like the WishUp Model and quality of their resources. I have been using WishUp for around 6 months now. Very Happy with the same.
Using a VA has really helped us to save time at our startup, especially when it comes to customer research, finding marketing opportunities etc. Ravi has been excellent at his work and provides timely updates..
Hiring from Wish up turned out to be an amazing decision. Hiring someone from India whom you have to brief on the phone and cannot meet or show your business was a little apprehensive decision at first, but I am glad I took that step. Pallavvi understands the requirements perfectly and had contributed tremendously in reviving social media. Her communication skills are fantastic and she knows what she is doing. It turned out that if the person on the other side is confident and eager to learn, it is not at all tough to hand over things without having that person present physically.
Hi,
Its been almost an year now using the service and has almost become an indispensable part of our organisation. Its great to have partners like this in your journey. Kudos to the entire team.
It took me a while to let go, but, once I did, I was hooked! I was so used to doing things on my own that I never realized how much time I was spending that I possibly didn’t have to, myself. Flight and holiday planning, expense management, research on various topics to name a few. Neha and shwetha seamlessly moved into my life, so to say, and took over so much of these activities that I wonder today how I had managed without Wishup for all these years. It’s a little like how I wonder how we lived in the pre-google days!
WishUp service has been the virtual office for managing the digital footprint of SLSV for the past 2+ years. WishUp has created a unique value proposition by adhering to high levels of self imposed quality standards. I would highly recommend them.
Didn’t expect such an amazing quality from an India based service. Great Work Ethics. High Aptitude of VAs. Just Wow experience.
