Empowering rural folks with high tech jobs – Sajal’s Info Solution
Our rural India does have a huge talent pool to be groomed to make it achieve global strides. And, here is a man who made this a reality by generating high tech employees in the rural arena.
Kajal Goswami started Sajal’s Info Solution Pvt Ltd., at his native town of Malda near Kolkatta. The self funded 200 seat BPO by 35 year old Kajal provides rural folks a high tech job which caters to clients from USA, UK, Australia and India. A 65 people strong team manages the UK and USA processes and their BPO has enough provision to accommodate another 200.
The absence of qualified work force in the rural area does pose a big challenge for Kajal. The poor knowledge of rural folks does get its polish for a shine with an expert team from Kolkota inculcating necessary knowledge for the employees to get them fit for this job. Boys and girls working during night is a new phenomenon in this locality. Kajal feels rubbed with salt when the locals criticize the hard working BPO people with nasty comments synonymising the night shift job with illegal work. Even political parties raise their eye brows.
Though he makes efforts for his ark to be guided towards a distant light house, his forward sailing ark got struck with one of his clients from Bhutan making a hide and seek game with a whopping Rs.48 Lacs. Kajal is on the mouth of a giant squid, and fears that his venture could sink down the sea if not for his coffers to realize the huge sum of money. Even though Indian embassy did take efforts, Kajal is yet to see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. He express to Startupstory that he is planning for going into hunger strike till death with his family. Little respite in his life now of getting an offer as General Manager in Vishnu Assets group, which makes foray in software business.
His financial situation is so bad that he is neither able to pay his employees nor renew the website of his company. But rural Indians have their own human touch. 28 of his employees are still sticking to his company for the past some months without any salary but with their only goal is to work and make the company come back gushing with full steam. Once he tried to sell off his personal assets to pay them, but there was a stiff opposition and they swore not to take a single rupee until the company regains back into good health. Is this the power of rural India!!
Wishing him success in his business and I salute the efforts of him and his employees to make their hard work realise its goal in the near future.
