The Cost Baseline

A 50,000 sq ft office typically spends ₹1.5-3 lakh/month on housekeeping, with floor care consuming 30-40% of contractor hours. Quality varies by shift; night cleaning attracts premium wages.

The Robot Model

Robots own the nightly floor layer: scheduled vacuum-mop cycles across workstations, corridors and cafeterias with completion reports by morning. Human teams refocus on washrooms, desks and pantries. Typical result: 20-30% reduction in contracted hours, plus measurably better floor consistency and indoor air quality (HEPA capture).

Payback Math

Hardware amortised over 3 years against saved contractor hours yields 14-20 month payback for most offices — faster with glass-heavy facades when window robots replace facade crews. Full context: corporate office solutions and commercial robots in India.
