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:
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
