ambitious company that is on track
to become a worldwide leader in
the service robotics market for
indoor environments or buildings.
People and workers will spend
more time interacting with smart
mobile devices within 5 years from
now. All industries are invited
to reinvent their interaction and
service modalities. women. Since 2007, every year,
new employees join us. It’s an
adventure - and so far - a collective
success.
Everything we are doing tends to
stick to real-time feedback in the
organization. Our technologies
generate in real-time indoor data
to sustain our analytical platform.
This helps to perform immediate
action by our support team. On
the internal daily activities, we
are also very reactive to feedback.
For example, anytime we felt
there is a potential issue or delay,
we communicate with the team
and form an action team. Above
the “Scrum or Sprint process,” we
cultivate the “guys, 2 minutes of
your attention please” mechanism.
This permits us to share
collectively, the information, the
issue, the options, quick action
and sometimes a solution. But at
least, the point is on our radar! It is very well said and clear. I fully
agree in general. But one thing I
would like to say to nurture the
idea when applying it to the new
invention is the need to share
constant information whatever the
state of the project or the delivery
process is. Sometimes you cannot
deliver, but this doesn’t mean that
you are not making a breakthrough.
Do you foster a culture of
feedback in your company?
How do you manage to
serve the needs of an
evolving market?
We have a plan, a roadmap, and
we do not change until someone
is paying for it! The customer
cannot make your strategy, nor
can an anxious sales & marketing
team. When you have limited
cash, “keeping focus” is the only
acceptable rule.
Moreover, Partnering Robotics
embodies diversity in business.
I worked in large groups, in very
promising sectors in terms of
innovation. To realize my dream
- to create a robot - I wanted to
surround myself with talents
from different horizons, men and
“Earning trust and respect
of consumers all around the
world is through consistent
focus on delivering high
quality in all actions,”
how do you interpret this
statement?
What do you feel are
the reasons behind your
company’s growth?
We address a global problem that
is valuable to everyone and every
organization.
If you have to list five
factors that are the biggest
asset to your organization,
what would they be?
“Belief in the project and the
managing team”: we can rely on
our team. We want to become a
reference, now that the competition
is becoming active, but the team
remains loyal to the project. “Agile”
because we are doing a lot with a
team of only 35 people from R&D
to Innovation to production to data
services to product support, etc.
“Resilient” because we had to deal
with situations of the team and
cash tensions, but we were able to
talk to each other and start again
without losing course. “Optimist”
because it allows us to remain
positive in front of all the problems
that we encounter, and to bring to
the rhythm our effective solutions,

without looking backwards.
“Focused”, this point is probably
the most important even if it
comes at the end of the list:
everyone knows what he or
she must do without wasting
time and without being
distracted by external noises.
Can you share some
customer testimonials?
We have recently opened
Partnering Robotics in Mauritius
with the support of the Mauritian
Government, the country
Investment fund and one of
the largest banks of the country
