It was the year 2005, when AJ Jacobs, the Editor-at-large of Esquire magazine was intrigued by the
possibility of outsourcing his personal life to a far-off land after reading Thomas Friedman's best
seller book on outsourcing - 'The World is Flat'. He wondered why should only Fortune 500s
outsource, why not individuals like him? This exploration led to an opportunity for our team (then
YourManInIndia - a concierge service in India) to be part of a global personal outsourcing
experiment. AJ's subsequent article in Esquire magazine on this got rave reviews.
Further his work on personal outsourcing inspired Timothy Ferriss to personally use 'Virtual
Assistant' services from YourManInIndia (YMII) for his new book on lifestyle design and productivity
"The 4-Hour Work Week". Very soon, the book became a chartbuster and went on to make it to the New
York Times Best Seller list.
The individual personal outsourcing experiment grew into a separate business division, now referred
to as 'GetFriday' providing virtual assistance services to global clients. It has been referred to
as YMII or YourManInIndia in the 4-Hour Work Week.
