White Global: An Army of Language Experts with Bi-Lingual & Domain Expertise Crafting Bespoke Services
Sheetal Ramkumar, Director
During its nascent stage, the translation and localisation industry in India was a fragmented market catered by individuals and small scale companies. Due to paucity in employment opportunities across this sector, majority of the language experts then had to either take up a teaching or freelancing job with very irregular income and no guarantee of continued employment. In addition, there was also a huge dearth in an acceptable method of assessing the competency of language and cultural experts, advanced project management and benchmarking techniques as well as in the adoption of technologies. But these scenarios gradually went down due to the emergence of many experiential players in the market who were not just rendering effective translation and localisation services but escalating the industry’s overall growth.
One such acclaimed player is White Globe Pvt. Ltd. that plunged into this industry in 2016 with its offerings wielding the best of breed techniques in competency assessment, project management, automation and technology, besides deep engagement with a horde of language and cultural experts globally. While working across time zones, travelling to countries and attending many face-to-face & Skype meetings, White Globe also refined its processes, fine-tuned its services and benchmarked them with global offerings of leading companies in Europe and U.S. Within two months of its Pilot Launch, the firm bagged its first customers wherein it again fine-tuned its services for them in accordance with their feedback and also got paid by few corporates. Presently, White Globe has diverse capabilities in quality and project management and has translated more than 50 million words in the last two years with a record delivery of 10 million words in just one month, under the supervision of Sheetal Ramkumar, Amit Kumar & Vidya Ramadasan (Directors). Also, the firm is furnished with completely automated systems and workflows along with the knack to leverage latest technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
The Pillars of White Globe
Post a meticulous and comprehensive assessment of bi-lingual and extensive domain expertise, White Globe selects its language and cultural experts, binds them by a confidentiality agreement and further nurtures
and manages them through an innovative, transparent, agile and vibrant engagement model. “Keeping in mind that industry domain specific skills are required over and above the language skills, we choose the best-fit language experts for specific roles through our proprietary Multi-dimensional Competency Assessment Model (MCAM),” elucidates Sheetal. Besides evaluating them via a transparent rating model entailing customer and project manager (PM) feedback, the firm provides them a clear path of progression in tune with their experience, expertise and other skills. In fact, some of them have gained contractual and full-time employment opportunities after working as just freelancers with White Globe.
