History
VFS Global was established in 2001 as a specialist Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) agency, to serve diplomatic missions and immigration authorities to facilitate the visa application procedures across the world. The company began in Mumbai, India on the initiative of the US State Department, to assist the US Embassy there when it was unable to handle the crowds outside the embassy.
Zubin Karkaria conceptualised and launched VFS Global in 2001, and subsequently led VFS Global to become a global company. Karkaria joined Kuoni in 1991 in India and was appointed as the CEO of VFS Global and Managing Director of Kuoni India. In March 2013, Karkaria was appointed to the executive board of Kuoni Group.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
