However, increasing respiratory disorders are more of an unseen effect of climate change. Industrialized nations release millions of tons of carbon and other gases into the atmosphere, increasing the chances of asthma, bronchitis, lung cancer and a host of other diseases. In light of this, it is paramount that people maintain a clean environment indoors, if not outdoors. limate change is a global problem that is bound to affect every single person on the planet. It is a common enemy that does not differentiate between social status, ethnicity or race. That is precisely what Partnering Robotics aims to do. Maintain a clean indoor working environment inside people’s homes as well as offices with its unique state-of-the-art robot. Ramesh Caussy CEO & Founder “Partnering Robotics designed the mobile, intelligent and autonomous Diya One X, which is the first robot in the world dedicated to the well-being of the occupants of a place.”

Meanwhile, we received more than 25 awards in various regions across the world. When you are in the field of disruptive innovation, everything is complex and takes time: from prototypes to the actual product to marketing. We are making some progress and this is keeping us happy. We are in the process of scaling. Leveraging Robotics and Artificial Intelligence for Well-Being Robots are used by numerous sectors such as manufacturing, automobiles, supply chains, construction, and so on. Owing to its vast applications, robotics has come a long way from assembly robots in automobile assembly plants. Advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning coupled with innovations in robotics have stimulated interest in designing robots that are able to carry out wide-ranging tasks. However, Partnering Robotics is the first company to pioneer a way to clean the air indoors and keep it that way through innovative use of sensory data compiled through a plethora of instruments powered by an artificial intelligence algorithm. Its robot, christened the Diya One X is the world’s very first robot dedicated to wellness. Would you describe your company as a leader or a follower? Just imagine you are in the field of disruptive innovation and you are following. This would obviously suggest that something is going wrong! We are definitely in a leader’s mindset. When I started with bio-inspired AI, an autonomous service robot for air quality and wellness in a position against humanoid robots in 2007, people were looking at me as though I was crazy. It is still the case today, by the way! and live. Besides these services, Diya one X generates granular indoor mass data square meter by square meter. This data enables the team at Partnering Robotics to propose an excellent suite of service data such as indoor air maps or Live Dynamic Dash Board that gives weekly relevant KPI about the indoor atmosphere. My robot makes the invisible air pollution visible in real- time and takes care of people; this is why we call it the well-being robot. Today, Partnering Robotics has an amazing team of 35 talented researchers, engineers, and business developers. Rich in their experience in large international teams and task forces in highly competitive fields such as IT, these 35 employees including 9 women, are centered on the dynamic city of Paris for a technology in the service of well- being and energy efficiency. In recent years, there has been a distinct shift in the way companies are taking care of employee wellness. As a result, many organizations are starting to invest more in comprehensive employee programmes to improve the well- being of employees. By employing Partnering Robotics’ Diya One X in place, employers can take care of their employees’ air quality and thereby increase their productivity and reduce the rate of absenteeism. In conversation with the brains behind Partnering Robotics, Ramesh Caussy Can you talk about your company’s flagship offering? Partnering Robotics created Diya One X (autonomous mobile robot) that is dedicated to the well-being of buildings or open space occupants by continuously making indoor atmosphere analyses (air quality, temperature, relative humidity, level of sound, and luminosity) and cleaning the air. This best-in-class robot can charge its battery and perform its service all day in highly dynamic environments where people work What were the challenges that you faced in your early years? One of the most challenging things in a technological project is to keep the belief of a team in a potential success alive when everything is taking time and you have limited cash. Surviving is a skill! It is not about “Improvised innovation”, it is about what I would call “YOGA How was your company’s first project received?

Meet the visionary behind the idea for Partnering Robotics, Ramesh Caussy 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. “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? 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. Dr. Ramesh Caussy, Ecole Polytechnique – France, created Partnering Robotics in 2007. He is the proud inventor of Diya One, the first neuro-inspired (artificial neural networks) service robot that takes care of indoor environments. He holds the industrial chair Roboethics, ethics in robotic service, by Grenoble INP Ensimag.

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! 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, 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. 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 the MCB Group. They are all supportive to make this unit a success for the African Region. Moreover, Partnering Robotics embodies diversity in business.

In fact, the status of this journey in various companies is yet to complete and every company is at a different milestone. The challenges in the last decade were mostly about: • Adopting and practising compliance • Strengthening specialty presence • Building in-licensing skills and acquiring projects in niche segments • Internal capability building • Improving operational efficiencies The question remains whether these changes are in line with forthcoming challenges or it’s just part of compulsive actions to sustain in the current competitive business scenario. Alniche is achieving these milestones because of its strong and proficient senior leadership team. This expert team comprises of cohesive and capable professionals with an exceptional combination of talent, skills, knowledge, and business acumen. The answer is partly yes. These were mandatory changes but surely this experience will help them to sail smoothly through challenges of the next decade. Many MNCs in India through improvisation in their current strong systems already travelled a significant distance in all these parameters. The noticeable move was major Indian pharma companies – initiating their defined and conscious journey What challenges did you face in your initial years? What can your peers learn from it? In India, the pharmaceutical sector is known as a stable and predictable sector with steady yet sustainable What exactly are the anticipated challenges in the next decade? 1. NLEM (New List of Essential Medicines) impact on profits – NLEM is not new or even a surprise. This decade we have seen many long built ‘cash cow’ brands included in NLEM, impacting the net profits of organisations. We don’t see this ending, it’s expected that every year of the next decade will possibly keep on including a new set of drugs as essential drugs and hence undergo a price capping. When a ‘cash cow’ brand is unable to pump the revenues for experiments and expansions then the challenge remains in ‘reverse engineering’ and optimising the COGs through manufacturing and supply chain excellence. This diverts the next decade skills to manufacturing and supply chain from current extreme focus on marketing. 2. Generic medicines – There is a difference between generic drugs concept in India and in the US. India has branded generic model and in India, not all generics are low priced, unlike the US where generics are more of ‘non-promoted’ and more of chemist push dependent,

  35. extending significant component of benefit to the retailer. In a true generic model, the drug costs are lower and the end consumer is extended the cost benefit. demand a stronger, complete and accountable structure of Legal and Compliance departments. face the challenges of next decade. 6. Expansion into Medical devices, Diagnostics & OTC – Pharma companies have better equity among stakeholders across the entire healthcare industry. This includes Doctors, Paramedical staff, Pharmacists and Purchase head of all hospitals. With change of healthcare practice, preference of patients and the emergence of structured hospital chains, pharma companies are stretching to reinvent their product portfolio and sales models. Processes, documentations, and audits will supersede marketing aggression. Marketers ought to have compliance knowledge as well as a legal team should be compelled to have sensitivity towards business priorities. In India, next decade will migrate towards the US generic model and this will compel many Indian companies to adopt ‘true generic’ model from their current one. The trading influenced current generic business model hence is expected to have a better shape with respect to policies, structure and capabilities in the next decade. 5. Corporate hospital dominance in urban India – The top of the pyramid will be major corporate dominating the urban segment and bottom of the pyramid will be the mass insurance driven rural segment. A survey shows that in a hospital, a patient spends only 25% of medicines, however 50% on treatments involving medical devices & diagnostics, apart from rest 25% on hospital stay & fee. This is a big opportunity for pharma companies to go to next level and include devices & diagnostics in their portfolio and leverage their years of equity with all stakeholders in healthcare industry. 3. Government policies on mass medical insurance –‘Modicare’ though in its very early stage is making all strategy heads to sit and proactively anticipate its impact on healthcare and drugs market in India. It’s expected that more than 30 percent urban corporate business will depend on the rates that you offer rather than ‘orthodox brand promotion to HCPs’. Corporate hospitals routinely called key accounts and its management will hence be a new, independent, and self-sufficient business lever for pharma companies. A group of MNCs have already responded with their interest to manufacture a ‘low-cost alternate brand’ exclusively for this scheme. Additionally, masses in large are moving from curative to preventive attitude. This is opening up “Wellness” market, that allows population to make their own decision to use these OTC healthcare products. With India’s large population, many pharma companies are targeting this market and introducing products for Weight management, Cough & cold, Pain management, Skinceuticals, Nutritionals and Gastro health. Managing profits through branded formulations and balancing the market shares and overall bottom lines through a strategic approach to mass medical insurance policy will be a skill to look for in the next decade. Individuals with key account management capabilities, negotiation skills will observe sustainable growth opportunities in the next decade. Digital though not mentioned above will be a compulsive adoption along with other forthcoming challenges. 4. UCPMP impact on organisation behavior – For all non-pharma readers…UCPMP is a voluntary code of conduct in practice for pharma companies to ensure an ‘ethical and compliant’ ecosystem in the market. Currently, it has a varying degree of execution across different companies. All major Indian pharma companies have taken up this seriously and there is a visible improvement in the ethical and compliant ecosystem in recent times. Forthcoming challenges are definitely different from what Indian pharma sector has experienced in past. Every challenge will demand a separate and exclusive skill set which will be largely different from existing marketing and sales driven mindset. Proactive approach, right capability building, not just speed but the quality of the actions and most important, segmentation of business in right buckets will be the key to successfully SR However, it is still voluntary.

The tagline is making headlines among the industry and the brand is gaining immense popularity among the stakeholders.

In the past, many companies had the misconception that services are ‘one and done’ or that they could be built and then be fine or at least fine for three or four years. But that’s not the case. Services are more of a journey – long-term commitments whose nature constantly evolves over time. It’s crucial that companies recognize this fact and that they rethink how they buy and manage services today. Why? Because the digital economy requires integrating more services into offerings, and they are becoming more integral to a company’s value proposition to customers and stakeholders.

Success as a Service: 3GC Group 3 businesses that were ill-served by the technology service providers who were inexperienced with the “Converged Networks” movement in technology; migrating all business communication applications onto a unified data network. GC Group was conceived in January 2003 as a result of enterprise and carrier States, South America, Europe, Canada, China, India, Korea, and Japan. Cisco or both, with a particular focus on L2-L3 networking. 3GC Group’s most common initial interaction with clients centers on optimizing existing networks. Many networks, without fine tuning, often run at 30-40% of their optimum capability. By fine-tuning network configurations to carefully optimize communication and route hops, managing node relationships, and re-architecting VLANs and routing, as well a house-cleaning EoL node where required, many networks can boost performance and reliability up to 3x without purchasing new equipment or completely re-designing a network from scratch. This can often be a stopgap measure with upgrades being carefully spaced out to minimize cost-prohibitive capex impact, or project planned for a seamlessly timed rip and replace to minimize opex impact and ensure reduced technical support requirements over time. SOLUTION DESIGN In designing a network, the E-Cubed philosophy is especially valuable to clients as 3GC provides detailed configuration tests and catches potential problems during the planning and design phase, reducing delays during the actual implementation and set up process. In large networks upgrading or replacing parts of a network can have adverse effects on other inter- dependent systems. 3GC provides detailed analyses of all components of a network, from the phone system to WAN connections, to bandwidth, gateways, routers, switching infrastructure, and network security to ensure that all systems touching the network are carefully considered in the final design. The key strength of 3GC Group in servicing clients around converged networks was a core philosophy to have each of 3GC’s engineers achieve core expertise and experience across multiple IT disciplines. As the needs of customers have grown and the IT industry has evolved, this core philosophy, called E-Cubed, has allowed 3GC Group to expand and provide higher levels of efficiency and translated into both cost and time savings for clients. Today, through continued focus on multi- disciplinary engineers, 3GC Group provides consulting, solution design, implementation, and full-scale MSP services to clients throughout the US and internationally across a broad range of network infrastructure technologies. Network Infrastructure Network infrastructure core expertise is the foundation of 3GC Group’s E-Cubed philosophy. By requiring engineers to be triple trained on converged technology, perimeter technology, and core networking infrastructure, 3GC engineers can finely tune solution design for new networks and quickly troubleshoot legacy networks for faster turn-around solutions. While the converged technology and perimeter technology may vary from engineer to engineer, the focal point for every engineer is core network infrastructure. All of 3GC’s engineers are certified on either Juniper or Unified Communications The 3GC E-cubed method brings you unified communication solutions through a converged network that includes WAN, VOIP, Video across all types of employees whether they are in the main location, multiple locations, mobile or remote. 3GC starts by looking at the WAN, LAN, current usage, and future goals then redesign the flows to optimize clients’ goals. 3GC Group has built enterprise solutions around converged networks technologies and has grown to 45 specialized employees and 7 locations around this practice; 3 in California: Los Angeles, San Jose, and Richmond with additional offices in New York, Nevada, Canada, and South Korea. 3GC Group has strong domestic and global reach with clients all across the United The company believes that the best way to evolve is to understand clients’ needs by optimizing the 48 AUGUST 2019

It is one of the fastest growing sectors and employs hundreds of thousands of people from around the world in various roles. With global population constantly growing and more and more people being able to afford higher standards of life, the fast food industry will only grow bigger in the coming years. From pizzas to fried chicken and French fries to soft drinks, one can find numerous items on the menu at any of the popular joints. The kitchens at the joints churn out dish after dish at an industrial scale. However, what they all lack is the precision and efficiency of a factory and that is where Dragontail Systems comes into play. he fast-food industry generates revenue of over $570 billion. That is more that plague commercial kitchens and optimize the entire process by its unique technology leveraging artificial intelligence. and every driver, the status of each order being prepared in the kitchen, and the progress in the packaging station in real time and manages the scheduling of every item that needs to be cooked and sent over. The company has developed a state-of-the-art system based on an artificial intelligence powered algorithm to integrate various aspects like food preparation, packaging, plating, and delivery into a single mobile application and a website. What it does is allow the restaurant management to control, coordinate and consolidate their operations in order to bring greater efficiency and optimize processes. That happens through a degree of smart automation of the processes of receiving and queuing up orders and coordinating their timely deliveries Imagine a scenario in which a restaurant needs to cater to a couple of dozen orders, half of which need to be delivered to customers’ locations while the other half need to be served in the restaurant itself, and there are only two delivery boys available. In a regular situation, the management would have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of orders and would proceed to carry them out in sequential manner without considering vital parameters like the time required for preparation of different types of dishes, distance to each customers’ locations relative to the time taken for their orders to be readied, freshness of the food delivered and so on and so forth. The important factor here is to deliver every customer’s food piping hot and fresh and also serve the customers at the restaurant without delays. Algo One of Dragontail’s flagship products is the Algo Dispatching System. It all starts with the customers placing an order, to the order being given to the kitchen, the whole preparation process, right through the dispatching station and finally to the delivery and the customer receiving it, enables real-time employee management. It is something like a super smart restaurant manager who can make all the necessary decisions on the spot, track and monitor the locations of every single order, each One of a kind solution Mistakes are bound to happen when there are vast quantities of numerous types of dishes being prepared throughout the day. Some of the common types of mistakes include food being overcooked or undercooked, the quantity being varied in certain orders, missing ingredients, customers being delivered the wrong dish, orders being held up, inefficient delivery of orders to end customers and so on. Dragontail Systems has developed a unique way to tackle all issues It is virtually impossible for human managers to manage such a scenario and cater to each customer’s order in a timely fashion. But handling such a hectic day at the office would be effortless with “We provide end to end software and analytical solutions, using artificial intelligence (AI), for optimization of food preparation and delivery, take-away and dine-in.”
