The Indian company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the American company, runs an advertising campaign with a slogan – "American Company with an Indian Heart". That sums up Robin’s desire to bring the two countries together. Today, the company owns two large buildings in Noida, India and has built a name for itself as one of the key American multinational BPO operations in India.

Robin loves the culture and vitality in Asia and thus both the Ebix buildings in India are built around that labor of love.
