In 2006, in the heart of Sandton's business district, visionary entrepreneur Aden Lahoud founded iTalk. Starting with just 70 staff members, this call centre embarked on an extraordinary journey, laying the groundwork for future success.
iTalk initially focused servicing two major clients, MedScheme and Vodacom, rapidly earning their trust through unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Within a year, Aden Lahoud expanded the business, opening franchised call centres to broaden market reach.
A pivotal 2008 milestone saw iTalk receiving IDC approval to fund ten call centres owned by black entrepreneurs, showcasing a commitment to empowerment and community development.
By 2009, iTalk had secured significant contracts with blue chip companies, cementing its reputation as an industry leader.
In 2010, iTalk moved to a larger Sandton facility to accommodate a growing team of 200. New partnerships with Standard Bank and Telkom were formed.
The expansion continued in 2012, relocating to Randburg with a 300-strong workforce and adding ABSA, Strangen, AA, and VIVA Life to its client roster.
Jarryd Lahoud's 2016 entry marked a new chapter, introducing a rewards program and partnering with BLDS. The company scaled dramatically, growing to 3,000 staff and expanding into China Mall to accommodate its burgeoning team.
2022 was a year of consolidation as iTalk moved to a state-of-the-art facility on Kent Road, readying itself for international campaigns and further success.
From a modest beginning in Sandton to a flourishing global enterprise, iTalk stands as a symbol of resilience, empowerment, and unlimited potential. Poised for global expansion, iTalk's journey is one of exceptional growth and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
