Main Characters
- Ben Rappaport as Todd Dempsy, a Kansas City native who is transferred to India to run the call center for Mid American Novelties. He doesn't understand Indian culture as is constantly unintentionally offending workers. He was revealed to be a big fan of Kansas City Chiefs football. He is currently employed as Executive Manager.
- Rizwan Manji as Rajiv Gidwani, Todd's mischievous assistant manager at Mid American Novelties, who is hard-nosed and unapologetic and who aspires to be Todd's replacement (whether that happens due to either Todd's success or his downfall). When Todd is promoted to "Executive Manager," he is promoted to Manager. His intentions are not to be mean, but to only run the company professionally and business-like. It had been his life-long dream to become manager of Mid America Novelties. Once he became manager, he married Vimi, his Fiance.
- Sacha Dhawan as Manmeet, a call center employee for Mid American Novelties, who dreams of America and quickly becomes good friends with his boss, Todd Dempsy. He is allegedly known for being the hip one, who is fascinated by American culture. Manmeet is girl-crazy; he has had several "over the phone" relationships with American callers and flirts with almost every woman he meets. He seems more interested in American women than Indian women, stating in one episode that American women are not concerned with his father's occupation or where he went to school. This, along with his reluctance to ask one of Tonya's friends to dance at a Halloween party, indicates that Manmeet may actually have a bit of an inferiority complex.
- Rebecca Hazlewood as Asha, a call center employee for Mid American Novelties and love interest of Todd, who is frequently the voice of reason in the office and plans to pursue an arranged marriage. There may possibly be a relationship or love situation going on between Todd and Asha despite there already being one with Tonya.
