The cost for the virtual assistant is also very high but there are many smart professionals available who can do online and computer-based tasks with low cost and high accuracy.

In short, there is no competition for virtual assistance business in India and many Asian countries.
Bonus Tip:
All these virtual Assistance companies are targeting experts in specific domains so their hourly rates are very high. But remember one-month training in that specific domain can make him experts. There are many Youths who are highly skilled but don’t know where to use their talent.
They even don’t know the concept of virtual Assistance and there are many jobs which they can perform.
Form a group of such students, train them from the experts for one month in different domains of work and start your company.
Don’t give tasks to experts. Create experts.
