What is a Personal Virtual Assistant?
A Personal Virtual Assistant (Personal VA) supports your day-to-day personal and executive tasks such as scheduling, travel coordination, inbox organization, reminders, research shortlists, booking coordination and recurring life-admin—so you can focus on work and family priorities.
How is a Personal VA different from a General VA?
A Personal VA is focused on individual and executive lifestyle support (personal scheduling, travel, reminders, life admin). A General VA is broader for everyday business tasks across teams. If you need back-office systems (SOPs, reporting packs), choose our Administrative VA.
Do you provide a Managed VA model or freelancers?
MVAIndia provides a Managed VA model. You assign tasks and priorities; we manage the VA resource, continuity, performance stability and replacement support.
What is the starting cost to hire a Personal VA?
Personal VA support starts from $5/hour depending on scope, tools, timezone coverage and required hours per week.
Can your Personal VA work in US/UK/EU/AU time zones?
Yes. We support global time zones based on your preferred overlap window and communication cadence.
What personal tasks can I delegate first?
Most clients start with calendar defense, appointment booking coordination, inbox cleanup, travel planning, recurring reminders, research shortlists and follow-up tracking.
Can you handle travel planning and itinerary building?
Yes. We can research options, compare flights/hotels, build itineraries and prepare booking links for your approval. Final purchases remain under your payment and approval process.
Will the Personal VA make payments using my card?
We follow your governance. Many clients prefer the VA to prepare options and links and the client completes payment. If you allow assisted payment, it must be via your approved method and permissions.
Do you support confidentiality and NDAs?
Yes. We can work under NDA and follow your security and access policies. You control credentials, permissions and tools.
How do you communicate and report progress?
We can use your preferred method: email updates, task boards, shared trackers or daily/weekly summaries. You decide the cadence.
Can you manage my calendar across multiple time zones?
Yes. We coordinate schedules, propose slots, handle reschedules and maintain a time-zone-safe calendar routine based on your rules.
Can a Personal VA manage my inbox?
Yes. We can label, prioritize and draft replies based on templates and your guidelines, and route urgent items to you for approval.
Can you help with reminders and recurring life-admin?
Yes. We can maintain reminders for renewals, subscriptions, appointments, follow-ups, birthdays/gifting and recurring checklists (as you define).
Do you offer dedicated or shared Personal VA options?
Yes. You can start with shared/hourly support and move to dedicated part-time or full-time coverage as your workload grows.
How quickly can we start?
Once scope, tools and access policies are confirmed, onboarding can begin quickly depending on availability and complexity.
What if my Personal VA is unavailable?
As part of the managed model, we support continuity planning and replacement options to reduce disruption.
Can you coordinate with my team or assistants?
Yes. We can coordinate scheduling and follow-ups with your office/team while respecting your approval and escalation rules.
Do you provide legal, medical or financial advice?
No. We do not provide legal, medical or financial advice. We can coordinate admin tasks, prepare documents for review and organize information under your direction.
Can you help with event planning and bookings?
Yes. We can research venues, vendors and options, maintain guest lists/RSVP trackers and prepare booking links for approval.
Can I start with a pilot before committing long-term?
Yes. A 2–4 week pilot is a common way to validate communication style, tools and workflows before scaling.
