hy are some companies reaching sky heights, while
others are doomed within months?
The competition in the current market is fierce
and businesses that build bring more
How do most successful companies deal with their
businesses? How do companies grow step by step?
One of the many ways to maintaining a successful
business is a steady customer base, ability to
resist market uncertainties, and the right people
to innovate and grow the business. A successful
company typically sees reasonable amount of
profit from its loyal customers. Adding the fact
that the cost of attracting new customers is
significantly more than that of maintaining a
relationship with existing ones, and you have a
powerful incentive to keep that core group of
customers happy. Yet too many businesses neglect
this loyal customer base in search of new
customers. But on the other side, successfully
tapping a whole new customer base is as important
as taking care of your loyal customers, and
business leaders should learn the art of
balancing the both. If your business goal is to
live long and prosper, maintain your loyal
customers and successfully tap new ones, then
any efforts toward building reliable services,
constant innovation, extensive market research,
and service customization at large will certainly
pay off. And how to do it you ask? Here we
present you the 50 exceptional and fastest
growing brands which are helping companies to
stand still in fierce competition. The Silicon
Review 50 Fastest Growing Companies of the year
2019 recognizes organizations that are dedicated
to sustaining high-trust cultures among their
customers. These companies are distinguished by
their extraordinary levels of trust, pride, and
technology know-how. Putting their customers
first is a key priority for these
companies. Success recognized to the fullest!

injectable anesthetics and analgesics to
patients worldwide, through innovative science
and excellence in development, production, and

Talents Selection and Development The choice of
new collaborators and the possible replacement/

the new model is decisive in this type of
scenario. New job descriptions put the emphasis

very challenging to keep generating good

TEL VC has to con- tinue doing sourcing,
research, investment, partnership, etc. As of
today, it has managed to establish a good work
scheme after a few years of hardships and
failures. In fact, the company was renewed in
2011 due to unsuc- cessful investments in the

TEL VC President in 2011 and he currently
oversees its operations, strategic direction,

more than 30 years of semiconductor industry

was the market perception Investment community
often tends to think that investing in a
startup isnt a good idea. The company had faced
few diffi- culties in communicating with
startups in the beginning. Once the company
built the repu- tation, it not only convinced
the startups to work with its team but also
encouraged other financial VCs to invest in the
innovative ideas and tech that the startups
generally offer.
In fact, the company enjoys both financial
returns as well as business returns.

directly or indirectly related to the current
global IT infrastructure development. Also, its
global organizational coverage helps to support
other regions in different ways.
Why Choose TEL Venture Capital TEL VC considers
its investment companies to be its partner and
it always supports their activ- ities to secure
future success. Its team brings global business
experience, the deepest techni- cal resources,
and, most impor- tantly, a collaborative
approach to the table. It doesnt simply in-
vest in the companies. It always starts a
collaboration work with the startup after the
invest- ment and has always supported their
vision and ideas as their business partners. An
invest- ment by TEL VC provides the endorsement
of a market leader, with worldwide sales and
distri- bution channels that reach the leading
electronics, display, and chip companies. TELs
research and development, engineering, and
manufacturing assets also may be leveraged to
its clients benefit in many ways, from a joint
partnership to a customer relationship.

Embarking on a Remarkable Journey After the
renewal of TEL VC in 2011, the companys goals
were reformulated under the lead- ership of Kay
Enjoji, President of TEL VC. The companys first
successful investment was in a firm called
Luxtera, a world leader of silicon phonics
device for data centers. It was a huge success
as Luxtera recently had a successful exit by
acquisition. As Luxtera and TEL Venture Capital
has a great partnership program, the acquisition
deal also brought great returns to TEL Venture
Capital.
TEL VC has redefined the stra- tegic investment,
where a large corporate investors often took
advantage of small startups. It is witnessing
the growth and great financial returns from its
invest- ments. The company has care- fully
planned all its investment and had chosen not to
invest in certain companies which would have
created mixed responses. Through its meticulous
efforts, TEL VC has made sure that it is always
a win-win situation besides just financial
returns.
Contributing to the global IT platform The
company is investing in innovative startup
companies related to Semiconductor, Advanced
Display, Photonics, Sensors, and other
peripheral technologies. It does not focus only
on hardware but also on software. Investing in

Personiv The People-Powered Outsourcing Solution
Bwith less while at the same time,
usiness leaders today are
repetitive tasks, which save them anywhere from
50-75 percent, David Lesniak, CEO, Personiv
said. But whats really incredible to see is
how our clients use these savings to deeply
influence the trajectory of their businesses.
Weve seen clients use it to spin up a new
program, increase sales and marketing or enhance
their service offerings, and the effects can be
measured across verticals with multi-faceted,
impactful results.

business, which is why we focus heavily on
investing in them because when our employees are
happy, so are our customers.
consistently asked to do more
scaling fast. To overcome this challenge, more
and more companies are turning to third-party
providers to complete routine tasks, comprising
everything from back office work to customer
experience. Whether its a CFO facing a talent
shortage, a marketing firm needing help with
online campaigns or a startup looking for more
talent teams are strapped, and outsourcing
becomes a viable solution.
Investing in their people is a core tenet of the
Personiv philosophy which also includes the
pillars of focusing on quality and a dedication
to giving back. The company takes the value of
employee investment not only to heart but to
hand as well, providing glitzy reward and
recognition events at their sites, yearly
mountain trek excursions to the Himalayas, weekly
engagement activities, quarterly
opportunities to give back, and more.
The results are indeed indicated by the growth
that the firm has enjoyed themselves, increasing
their headcount by a whopping 700 percent in the
past five years alone. Lesniak attributes much
of this growth to the quality of their work and
the talent of the Personiv team, which numbers
at nearly 3,000 in five site locations across
the globe.
As many execs know, outsourcing low-impact tasks
to a provider is one way to get better results,
save on talent costs and accomplish
high-priority projects. And although outsourcing
as a strategy isnt new, many applications are
reinventing the way businesses operate today.
Across our sites, you can often hear our team
members claim they are Personiv Proud.
Lesniak said. To achieve this level of buy-in
from our employees, our team investment must
consistently stay a top priority. By making our
culture a key focus, weve been able to enhance
our partnerships with clients and drop our
attrition rates well below the industry average.
The company has also utilized acquisitions as a
strong go-to-market strategy, announcing their
acquisition of the Delhi, India call center
JKBPO in October 2017, which added not only
350-plus team members but also full-service
customer contact, sales and tech support
solutions to their list of available offerings.
Third-party outsourcers, or BPO (Business
Process Outsourcing) providers as they are known
in the industry, can take on tasks from
traditional voice and call center work to admin
and accounting, even creative be it graphic
design or digital.
Services that Drive Results Personiv, an Austin,
Texas-based BPO provider offering services with
offshore talent, is one such firm that is
changing the way organizations grow, while
showing U.S. companies how tapping into the
global economy can give them an enviable edge.
With a young, educated and dependable workforce
overseas, Personiv continues to add to existing
relationships, and at the same time, create new
service offerings like their finance and
accounting outsourcing division, which debuted
last year, and to open up markets in other
global areas such as their recent pushes in
Canada and Australia.
Talent in the Global Economy In the outsourcing

essential to the firms success, which is why

Three Decades in the Making The majority of the
growth that Personiv has experienced can be seen
dating back to 2014 with the hiring of Lesniak

dividends in company development and reputation.

their commitment to quality work, practice of
giving back to their communities and their
strong belief that this industry is powered by
people.
This adaptability is evidenced by their
emergence as a top provider of outsourced
creative services around 15 years ago, when the
company successfully gained leading clients in
the creative space, providing billboard design,
graphics, print ads and eventually, websites,
digital fulfillment services and online
presence. To date, Personiv employs more than
600 designers across their creative and digital
programs.
