India’s tech hub status means a lot of international travel.
If you're a frequent flyer connecting with team members in the US, UK, or elsewhere, having a virtual Indian number makes calling back home as affordable as grabbing a cup of chai. This way, whether you're discussing project updates or simply sharing travel stories with family, staying connected doesn't have to break the bank.
Now, if you're a small business in India, particularly in the bustling lanes of Delhi or Kolkata, a virtual phone number is your ticket to professional communication without the hefty cost of traditional business lines.
It’s perfect for startups wanting to project a big brand image without the corresponding overhead.
Lastly, long-distance family calls can be frequent if you've got relatives scattered across continents, which is quite common among Indian families.
