Here we are, after 13 long years… and yet, it all seems just like yesterday, when we started off as Helios Global Services. Focusing primarily on BPO back-end and finance recruitments, our basic premise was to set up a service sector business – something that allowed effortless entry and where capital investment was next to none. We had no relevant qualifications or experience, no plans for scalability or creating a brand USP, and had given no thought to the exploration of investment avenues – no angel investors, VCs, external funding or even a cursory valuation. All we thought about was how to grasp as many business opportunities available with as little investment as possible.
