Pranav Dalal – CEO & Founder at Office Beacon

Pranav Dalal in 2001 with just $2,000 started Office Beacon. It is now a global leader in remote staffing solutions. We help businesses grow with expert staffing across marketing, administration, and more, with 5,000+ employees in the US, India, Philippines, and South Africa. He has a unique perspective on this trend and has seen countless benefits. These include enhanced productivity, access to a diverse global talent pool, and improved employee satisfaction—key advantages that have proven essential in today’s competitive landscape. With over two decades of experience leading distributed teams, Pranav believes that mandating a full return to the office may cause companies to overlook the significant benefits of remote and hybrid work.
