This Startup Helps Non-US Businesses Expand To US At Less Than $1/day

Imagine being in a small town somewhere in India, working away at your laptop, trying to build something.

You've never let geographical limitations stop you - and you work with clients across India.

All from your warm home, with your regular coffee mug at your desk.

Now imagine having high-ticket clients in the United States, the world's largest economy and a major business partner for India and most other countries. 

They're definitely not out of reach. But out of touch? Probably. 

How do you connect with them seamlessly, at all times? 

Sure, chat and email are options - but you're dreaming bigger. You'd like to have a presence in the US market - a presence that tells people you're there to add value to their lives. 

A great starting point would be a US phone number with incoming calls directly from potential customers and final clients. 

And guess what - a Colorado-based startup will help you do just that…and more.

Founded by the husband-wife duo of Mukund Srinivas and Keerthi Sankar in 2023 and recently launched in August 2024, VishwaTel helps people and businesses establish a global presence by making communication and transactions seamless for them. 

Building on their experience with NYBACS (founded in 2020), they identified a market gap. Many entrepreneurs and businesses yearn to go global, but face hurdles like compliance, cost, and the risk of shutting down if unsuccessful. VishwaTel bridges this gap by offering a seamless solution for establishing a global presence and simplifying communication and transactions.
