Few large corporations need to be convinced of the benefits of offshore outsourcing. Many U.S. companies have fully embraced the outsourcing of customer call centers, software troubleshooting, and even medical diagnoses to workers in India and other emerging markets as a way to cut costs and take care of business when most of America is asleep.
Now, Indian entrepreneur Krishnan Ganesh is out to prove the advantages of outsourcing to a different and more skeptical audience: American parents and students.
Ganesh, 45 years old, is founder and chairman of TutorVista, an online education company that provides struggling students with ’round the clock tutors - who just happen to be scattered throughout the Indian subcontinent. For $100 a month, students get unlimited help with various subjects. The company also provides preparation for major standardized tests. All the potential pupils need is a computer and Internet connection.
Since its launch 18 months ago, the company has signed up some 2,200 students worldwide, roughly 2,000 in the U.S. That’s a fraction of the students served by companies such as Educate Inc (Charts)., the parent company of Sylvan Learning Centers, or test prep giant Princeton Review.
