With operations in over 100 countries, Schneider Electric is truly a global specialist in energy management and automation. However, the company had no intention of stopping there; it wanted to become India’s market leader. To do so, within five years it made multiple acquisitions and invested in retail, solar and data centres. Today, it has a twenty percent share of India’s solar market. But, to move closer to its national dream, Schneider Electric wanted to improve its facilities management, whilst preserving a safe, reliable and sustainable ecosystem for their customers – which is where we came in.  

Keeping our four pillars of service delivery in mind – cost saving, efficiency, innovation and transition – we created a strategy to serve the team’s mammoth demand in a precise and efficient way. After accepting our proposal, Schneider Electric issued us a contract worth an annual fee of INR 120 cr, which included the management of 80 sites, with a total of 5.3 mn sq ft of space. 

Today, we’re four years into the contract and, having delivered an excellent service, the partnership is likely to be extended. So far, we’ve streamlined Schneider Electric’s services, vendors and offices. We’ve also contributed towards a 9.9 percent cost saving, installed a number of technical assets and achieved the operational stabilisation of its sites – with great success. 

With an extensive energy management and automation offering, Schneider Electric is at the forefront to capture the market’s megatrends. The team’s strategy is to leverage the world’s newest energy challenges, serve the evolving needs for automation and support the digital transformation of its customers. We are working closely with them to implement this strategy and to propel them into a leading – and concrete – market position.
