Where It Started.

Dilip Barot

Founder and Chairman

Dilip Barot founded Etech in 2003 when he led the acquisition of a closing BellSouth call center in Nacogdoches, Texas, preserving 400 jobs. A serial entrepreneur headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, his portfolio spans real estate development, technology infrastructure, and hospitality, including Amrit Ocean Resort and Residences on Singer Island and the InfoCity mixed-use development in India.

BUILT FROM WITHIN

Nearly Half the Leadership Team Started on the Operations Floor.

Call center agents, chat agents, sales reps, network admins. They moved into leadership because they developed the people around them. That is the only promotion criterion that matters at Etech.

HOW WE LEAD

Servant Leadership is not a Value Statement. It is the Operating Model.

Every leader on this page was promoted because they developed the people around them. The management methodology is simple: serve the people who serve the customer. The result is measurable: under 5% monthly attrition, 6.3-year average tenure, and a 95% client retention rate.

"In this industry, your people are your product. If you do not invest in them, you are delivering a diminishing asset to every client, every day."

Matt Rocco, CEO
