My first memory of the workplace was during my initial orientation. I recall feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as I was introduced to my team and the company's culture. The warm welcome from my colleagues and the informative sessions about our goals and values made a lasting impression. It was inspiring to see the collaborative spirit and commitment to excellence that defines our work environment, setting a positive tone for my journey here.
One particularly memorable moment during my time with the Rogers Group was when we successfully launched a major project that required extensive collaboration across departments. As the deadline approached, we faced several challenges that tested our problem-solving skills and teamwork. I vividly remember a late-night brainstorming session where team members from different backgrounds came together, sharing ideas and strategies. The energy in the room was electric, and it was inspiring to see everyone's commitment to achieving a common goal. When we finally launched the project on time, the sense of accomplishment was overwhelming. It reinforced the power of collaboration and highlighted the supportive culture at Rogers Group. This experience not only strengthened my professional relationships but also deepened my appreciation for the teamwork that drives our success.

I started my career in Rogers group at Heritage Golf Club on 1st August 2016 as bartender. Everything was new to me as it was the first time working in hospitality. There I got great opportunites to develop myself, to learn a lot concerning preparation on cocktail, drinks, and above all sharing great moments working for big competitions like ABMO and others. I was very dedicated to my work and perfom duty with keen interest to the best of my ability. I got the chance to meet with many villa owners and personalities for competitions and events. Cooporate team work was among my best qualities. After covid 19, I was being transfered to Awali hotel where I continued as barman for nearly one year.
In december 2021, I got the offer to work in maintenance department as coordinator, as previously before joining Rogers group I was working in a water engineering company where I earn lots of knowledge of maintenance and water management/water treatment. My duty as coordinator is to manage utilities (water/electricity/gas/diesel), follow up of work, records, and water management. I entertain very good relationship with my collegues in my department as well as other departments,managers and others also. I work to the entire satisfaction of the management.

Love at first sight.
One Friday afternoon, the company announced a big upcoming project that would require collaboration between the creative and analytical teams. Mia (fictitious name) was assigned to lead the creative side, while Ethan (fictitious name) was tasked with providing the necessary data insights. As they started to work together, something unexpected happened. During their brainstorming sessions, Mia' enthusiasm began to draw Ethan out of his shell. He found himself captivated not just by her ideas but by her passion for the work. Mia, on the other hand, discovered Ethan's sharp analytical skills and the way he effortlessly translated complex data into compelling narratives. Their synergy was undeniable, and they began to spend more time together, both in and out of meetings. One late afternoon, as they reviewed the project's progress over coffee, the conversation shifted from work to personal stories. They shared their dreams and aspirations, finding common ground in their love for travel and adventure. The chemistry between them grew, and the office, once just a place of routine, started to feel more like a shared journey. As weeks passed, their collaboration flourished. With Mia's creativity and Ethan's analytical prowess, they crafted a compelling campaign that wowed their clients and exceeded expectations. Their teammates noticed the positive energy that radiated from them, and it inspired a ripple effect throughout the team. Productivity soared as others became motivated by Mia and Ethan's passion and teamwork. One evening, after a successful presentation to the clients, Mia and Ethan stepped out for a celebratory dinner. As they laughed over shared stories and toasted their success, Ethan took a deep breath: "I've really enjoyed working with you" he said, his eyes sparkling. "I feel like we make a great team." Mia smiled, her heart racing. "I feel the same way. It's like we bring out the best in each other." With the city skyline twinkling behind them, they shared their first kiss. From that moment, their relationship deepened. They supported each other through challenges at work, celebrated victories together, and continued to inspire their colleagues. As their romance blossomed, Mia and Ethan became a dynamic duo not just in love but also in the workplace. Their combined energy led to even greater success, as they initiated team-building activities and mentorship programs that transformed the office culture. People felt more connected, engaged, and motivated to contribute their best. Months later, when the annual company awards came around, Mia and Ethan received recognition not only for their outstanding project but also for their role in fostering a collaborative and positive work environment. Standing on stage together, they realized that their relationship had not only changed their lives but had also positively impacted everyone around them. As they looked out at their cheering colleagues, Mia whispered, "We really did spark something amazing here." Ethan smiled, squeezing her hand. "And this is just the beginning." With love and ambition intertwining, they knew they were ready to face any challenge together, both at work and in life.

Legacy
I remember, as a child, going to Port-Louis with my mother every Saturday. We’d pass by Rogers House, that grand building that seemed to hold an air of mystery. Standing in front of it, I felt so small. I would look up in awe, my mind racing with curiosity, wondering what incredible things might be happening behind those walls. To me, it was a place of secrets and stories, a world of grown-ups that I was eager to one day understand. Little did I know then that Rogers House wasn’t just a building; it was a symbol of growth and ambition on the island, representing a legacy of resilience and innovation that has shaped the Mauritius we know today.
Although I joined the Rogers Group only recently, I already feel a strong sense of belonging, thanks to the incredibly warm welcome from my team. Moving to Rogers represents a pivotal step in my career, and I was deeply inspired not only by the vision that guides the Rogers Group but by the passion and dedication of the people I now work alongside. Seeing firsthand the commitment to growth and innovation, I look forward to being part of the journey ahead.

My first memory of Rogers is going to Rogers House for the first time during the ENL and Rogers integration process. Taking the metro to Port Louis Victoria Metro Station (later that day, a colleague from Rogers told me that I can get off at Place d'Armes next time, which was easier), I remember looking out the window and seeing, in the distance, this building, so well-known to Mauritians. I thought to myself, here I am, about to step inside in a few minutes, take the elevator to the fifth floor, and officially begin my new journey with another major and diversified group in Mauritius.
It’s been five months since I began working for Rogers Group, and one of the most memorable experiences so far has been the opportunity to explore Bel Ombre, Rogers' territorial brand, through a full-day photoshoot.

Je suis Annick Peroumal du département Indoor Sales & Follow up et j’ai 37 années de Service dans la compagnie.
J’ai débuté ma carrière en 1987 comme Telex Operator à Rogers Air Cargo et après 3 ans (en 1990) on a créé le département maritime (Pats Seafreight) et j’ai eu la chance de me joindre à l’équipe. On avait beaucoup d ‘exportation de textiles et on n'avait pas d'ordinateur et laptop comme maintenant. La documentation se faisait manuellement. C'était vraiment une autre époque. Lorsqu’on a délocalisé le bureau à Riche Terre, je me suis retrouvée à m’occuper du Secrétariat / Admin pour le bureau et le warehouse pendant 7 ans (Pats Seafreight / Logistics World et Maxi Cargo).
Vers les années 2000 on a commencé à avoir les changements Maxi cargo est devenu R & C Logistics et en 2002 le bureau a bougé à Port Louis. En 2002 il y a eu aussi la création du département de “Coffret des Iles” à Plaisance qui s’occupait des envois des coffrets cadeaux vers l’étranger et en 2003 j’ai rejoint ce département. Malheureusement après une année le concept n’a pas vraiment marché et nous avons fermé le département. En même temps il y avait la fusion de Rogers Cargo et Cargo Express et je me suis retrouvée au département Indoor sales depuis 2004 à ce jour.
Je suis passionnée dans mon travail et aime être toujours à l'écoute de mes clients en étant proche d'eux et les aider. Dans ce métier, il faut aussi avoir de la patience et une bonne communication que ce soit interne ou externe. Pendant ma carrière - J’ai eu l ’occasion de travailler avec plusieurs chefs et j’ai beaucoup appris avec eux. Les cours que j'ai eu m'ont aidé à grandir et m'améliorer dans mon travail. De même que les business trips ont été une bonne expérience pour moi. L'autre souvenir est en 2007 lorsque j'ai remporté "The Best Employee Award" et sans oublier notre équipe du Indoor Sales & Follow up ou règne vraiment un esprit d'équipe et je peux dire nous sommes vraiment une famille.
Pour conclure je dis un grand merci au management et je suis fière de travailler pour Velogic.

My first memory at Rogers was stepping into the office on my first day and meeting my team. Everyone was kind, welcoming, and ready to help, which made me feel at ease. I remember the excitement of learning about the company’s goals, understanding the projects I’d be involved in, and seeing how everything worked. It felt like a great opportunity to grow and contribute to something meaningful, and I was eager to get started.
One of my favorite memories at Rogers happened during a team lunch. It wasn’t a work meeting, but just a casual get-together outside the office. We laughed, shared stories, and got to know each other better beyond just work tasks. I remember talking with a colleague about a hobby we both enjoyed, which sparked a fun conversation and made me feel more connected to the team. It showed me how important building relationships is, not just for work, but for creating a supportive and friendly environment

My first memory of Rogers is quite special, especially as I'm new to the company. As a child, I often visited the iconic Rogers building in Port-Louis with my family to plan our travels at the travel agency. Now, seeing how Rogers has expanded into Rogers Capital Technology is truly inspiring. It's amazing to be part of a team that continues to innovate and grow!
Although I'm still new to the Rogers Group, one memorable moment stands out for me: my very first team meeting. I walked in feeling a mix of excitement and nerves, but everyone was incredibly welcoming. The atmosphere was so positive, with team members eager to share their ideas and experiences. It was inspiring to hear about the exciting projects underway and how passionate everyone is about their work. I particularly enjoyed a story someone shared about a successful collaboration that led to a significant breakthrough. It really highlighted the supportive culture here and made me feel like I was joining a family. I'm excited to contribute my own experiences and create more memorable moments as I grow with the team!

I was just 16 years old when I joined the company as a cleaner for bulk sugar containers. It was my first step into the working world, and I could never have imagined then how much this company would shape my life. At 24, I was given an incredible opportunity. The company supported me in obtaining my driving license and later encouraged me to follow a course at IVTB to earn my forklift license. These qualifications opened doors for me, allowing me to take on new responsibilities and grow professionally.
The company didn’t just help me in my career—they also supported me in my personal life. They granted me an advance on my pay, which allowed me to place a deposit for the purchase of my house. Later, they extended the same generosity when I was preparing for my wedding. These moments stand out as examples of how much the company has cared for its employees.
Today, at 56 years old, I feel nothing but gratitude. The opportunities and support I’ve received over the years have changed my life for the better. As I continue working, I look forward to staying with the company until my retirement, proud to be part of this incredible journey.

As a child, I accompanied my mother in Port-Louis at Rogers House to buy air tickets at Air France. I was very much impressed by the prestige surrounding the Rogers and Air France brands as well as the building itself in the bustling capital.
One of the most memorable moments during my time at Rogers has to be our rebranding journey in 2022. Rebranding a company with such a rich history and legacy, one that has been a cornerstone in Mauritius for over a century, was no small task. Rogers is not just a name; it’s an institution. Balancing respect for our past while looking boldly towards the future was an inspiring challenge!
To see the culmination of this work—a fresh identity that still honours where we come from—was truly special. I am especially proud of how the rebranding brought our purpose to life and our promise to be a positive force for change, for 'Meaningful Change'. It was a moment where I felt the pride, commitment, and passion of everyone around me, and it reminded me of why I love what I do.
As we celebrated Rogers’ 125th anniversary, I also had the unique privilege of diving even deeper into the incredible story of this institution. Through the communication campaign, I had the chance to collect moving testimonials from colleagues who have been part of shaping Rogers’ journey. Their stories were personal, heartfelt, and often humbling, reminding me just how connected Rogers is to the very fabric of our nation.
I also had the opportunity to interview current Mauritian leaders and learn more about those who came before us, the past leaders who steered Rogers through decades of change. I realised they all shared something common that deeply inspired me—they weren’t just serving a company, they were serving the country.
This immersion in the group's history through these human stories has deepened my appreciation for Rogers’ role in Mauritius, not just as a business but as a force that has always been tied to the progress and wellbeing of the country and its people. It’s an honour to be part of this ongoing story.

My first memory of Rogers is one that still stirs emotions in me. It was my first day, walking into the building for the very first time, feeling both nervous and excited. The sight of the Rogers logo, standing tall and proud, immediately caught my attention. It wasn't just a logo, it was a symbol of a legacy, of something much bigger than myself. I remember pausing for a moment, feeling a deep sense of awe, and knowing right then that this was where I wanted to be. Walking into the office for the first time, I was immediately struck by the blend of tradition and modernity that Rogers embodies. There was an air of history, with the company's journey spanning over a century, but also a forward-thinking culture driven by innovation and a diverse range of services across Finance, Technology, Hospitality, and more. The warmth of the people, the welcoming atmosphere, and the stories I heard from my new colleagues about their own journeys with Rogers made it all feel so special. I was stepping into a place with deep roots, where every person, every desk, every corner seemed to carry a piece of history. It wasn't just a job: it felt like I was becoming part of a family that had endured and thrived for over a century. That sense of belonging and pride in being part of something so meaningful is my first and most cherished memory of Rogers. I was inspired by the company's resilience and its ability to continuously evolve while maintaining a deep connection to Mauritius. This first impression, of a company that bridges the past and future, left a lasting mark on me, reinforcing my excitement to contribute to its ongoing success as it celebrated 125 remarkable years.
I remember my first day at Rogers Group so vividly, like it was yesterday as I have recently completed my second year on 18th of October 2024. It was on the fifth floor at Rogers House in Port Louis, and the moment I arrived, I was greeted by a stunning path lined with artificial tall palm trees, their leaves swaying gently with soft lights twinkling in between. It almost felt magical, as if the scene was designed just to welcome me into something special. But what really took my breath away was when I saw the Rogers logo shining into the reception wall. In that instant, I felt a deep connection, an unexplainable pull. I knew, without a doubt, that I wanted to be part of this legacy. I fell in love with the company right then and there. It wasn't just about wanting a job; I wanted to belong, to contribute to this storied institution at all costs. In my journey through the workplace, I've had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life, spanning every age group. But among them, two colleagues who have now retired hold a special place in my heart. Despite the years that separated us, they became more than just co-workers: they were mentors, companions, and friends. From the very beginning, they took me under their wings, not with cold instructions, but with patience, warmth, and a sense of care that can only come from experience. We shared countless moments, the kind that aren't scheduled or marked on calendars, but remain engraved in memory. That moment standing there, under the glow of the lights and the majestic palms marked the beginning of a journey I will always cherish. It wasn't just the start of my career at Rogers; it was the start of something much bigger, a feeling that I was stepping into a family with a history and heart that I would soon be proud to call my own.

Mon Parcours au sein de Rogers & Co Ltd : Une Aventure de Passion, de Résilience, de Loyauté et d'Humanité.
Introduction : Le 1er octobre 1987, je faisais mes premiers pas au sein de Rogers & Co Ltd en tant que secrétaire et personnel officer, sans me douter que cette expérience marquerait non seulement ma vie professionnelle mais aussi mon engagement humain. Dès le début, l'esprit d'équipe et le dynamisme qui régnaient ici m’ont insufflé une passion et une loyauté profondes envers cette grande famille.
Début de carrière : Mon parcours a démarré dans la Compagnie de Maroquinerie et Smith & Nephew. Ensuite, j’ai découvert d'autres sociétés de la zone industrielle de Rogers à Riche Terre, telles que SEBNA, Florychante et Sukpak, des départements de Scott & Co Ltd, filiale de Rogers. Chaque étape m’a permis d’apprendre, de m’enrichir et de développer ma vision, toujours plus tournée vers l’humain.
Un virage vers la logistique : En 1998, j’ai pris une nouvelle voie en rejoignant le département de la logistique. Ne connaissant rien à la mécanique, j'ai vu cela comme une occasion d'apprendre. Les membres de ma belle-famille tous passionnés de mécanique et mon mari collectionneur de modèles réduits de voitures, à l’époque, m’ont aidé à comprendre les bases de la mécanique, ce qui m’a permis d’affronter les défis de la gestion de notre flotte de véhicules de livraison avec une confiance nouvelle.
Retour aux ressources humaines et engagements personnels : Sept ans plus tard, la vie m’a offert la joie d’accueillir mon troisième enfant. Après mon congé de maternité, j’ai retrouvé ma place, cette fois au département des ressources humaines du corporate de Scott & Co Ltd. Un domaine qui me tient profondément à cœur, inspirée par, feu Me Dan Bundhoo, qui était un pilier des ressources humaines chez Rogers. Cependant, j'ai découvert que mon rôle allait bien au-delà des simples responsabilités professionnelles. Pouvoir rapprocher et aider les autres grâce à mon approche et à mon écoute active, s'est révélé être un atout essentiel dans mes fonctions.
Nouveaux horizons dans l’hospitalité : En 2008, après vingt ans dans le secteur de la distribution, j’ai décidé de relever un nouveau défi et suis entrée dans le domaine de l'hospitalité, VLH Ltd, en tant que HR Coordinator au Veranda Paul & Virginie Hotel & Spa. Cette aventure m’a permis d'évoluer au poste de HR Executive en 2010, puis de devenir HR Manager du cluster des hôtels Véranda en 2016.
J'ai eu l'immense privilège d’accompagner des femmes courageuses face à la violence domestique, des mères traversant des épreuves avec un proche incarcéré ou en proie aux dépendances, et des enfants devenus adultes ayant souffert de maltraitance. Mon engagement ne se limitait pas aux heures de bureau. Souvent, j’assistai à des réunions nocturnes, à des rencontres de quartier, cherchant à bâtir des ponts entre notre organisation et les communautés locales. Cet engagement auprès des autres m’a appris la force de la solidarité et l’importance de l’écoute. En parallèle, j’ai également été volontaire, activiste et membre du conseil d'administration de PILS, dans la lutte contre le VIH et pour la prévention.
Conclusion : Aujourd'hui, en tant que Head of People Operations and Expérience, de Rogers Hospitality, pour le cluster Quick Service Restaurant et Leisure, je réalise à quel point mon parcours a été un mélange de défis professionnels et d’humanisme. Travailler auprès de personnes formidables, enrichir et être enrichie, écouter et être à l’écoute, ce sont là les véritables trésors de ma carrière.
A vous, jeune professionnel, j’aimerais dire : restez passionnés, ouverts, et soyez présents pour les autres. Car au-delà des compétences, c'est l'engagement humain qui fait toute la différence.

Fantastic team building day back in 2018! Closing the office for a day and having a treasure hunt in Triolet, followed by an open buffet at Mont Choisy. It has been a great way to foster camaraderie and share happy moments. It has been a memorable experience for everyone involved combining adventure, teamwork, and good food.
Surprise celebration for my 30th working anniversary in June 2023.

Well established and highly esteemed company in Mauritius. Well known in Aviation and Shipping.
My memorable moment was during the first COVID-19 lockdown whereby we are all living an unprecedented time and within a VUCA environment whereby we all had millions of questions and assumptions unanswered, and nobody had a definite answer. We were also transiting from our third to fourth year of operations and migrating from the introductory to our growth stage whereby from one day to the other we reached a stand-still and the business engine haltered. We were looking for answers for our team members and had to be reassuring. As a team we supported and motivated each other with the blessing of our directors, shareholders and our top management team and derived an efficient and productive way to reinvent the business and shifted our model and modus operandi. The whole team showed sheered determination and responded positively to our numerous solicitations and to think out of the box. We initiated BCPs and had regular follow up based on the multiple scenarios in anticipation of the VUCA situation we were all living. We would not have succeeded if there were no clear direction, vision and initiatives taken from a top-down approach and in constant communication with our staff at all levels. We overcame the lockdown period, reinvented ourselves and succeeded in seeking opportunities, rather than casualties while coming back from COVID. The company as a whole bounced back with positive results, and we perceived this period as a game changer to our existing business and thanks to our leadership team for their continuous support & insight throughout the whole process.

Since my childhood, I was always intrigued by the Rogers House building. As I grew older, I started seeing the "Rogers Capital" name in malls and on billboards. I was fascinated by the coverage it had as well as the reputation built. Little did I know that one day I would have the opportunity to work at Rogers Capital surrounded by a lively environment. The highlight for me is that a month after joining Rogers Capital, I was thrilled to participate in my very first event - Plant a Tree! This event was organised with the aim of contributing for a balanced ecosystem. To my surprise, the event took place in my locality, near Telfair Amphitheater. I cannot express the pride I felt when I realised that the Company I work for not only focuses on work and financial gains but also on maintaining a balanced and healthy environment for us and the future generations. As someone said: "Be part of the solution, not part of the pollution."

Mon premier jour fut memorable, alors que c'était le jour de la fête de Pâques avec beaucoup d'enfants à l'hôtel. Etant donné que les enfants disent en anglais "POO" signifiant popo ou gros commission ; moi qui comprenait rien au language des enfants, quand un enfant est venu me dire ce mot, j'étais vraiment perdue.
Ayant entendu du bien de l'hôtel, l'atmosphère joviale, les expériences d'une amie, cela m'a motivé pour rejoindre le groupe. Les moments mémorables c'est quand un client revient pour exprimer sa gratitude pour l'excellent service qu'on lui donne au kids club qui les ammènent à revenir. C'est ce qui fait la difference. On travaille pour créer des souvenirs et des expériences mémorables avec les enfants ainsi que les parents.
Mon premier poste était 'Casual kids Club Hostess' suivit d'un poste permanent. Et cela, date de 2011. Et après 8 années, je suis devenue superviseur. Grandissant encore dans le milieu en 2023, j'ai été promue en tant que Senior Superviseur. La compagnie m'a soutenu en fournissant des formations appropriées dépassant mes attentes pour mieux faire mon travail. Ayant un mentor comme Madame Reana, elle m'a beaucoup soutenu et encouragé pour mon development professionel.
Pour le future, mon plus grand souhait est de prendre la relève de Madame Reana en tant que Kids Club Manager en ayant l'experience et la connaissance requises au fil des années. L'aspect le plus gratifiant du travail chez Heritage resorts, c'est d'avoir l'opportunité de continuer à creer des vacances inoubliables pour nos clients. Le fait de savoir que chaque tâche, qu'il s'agisse d'un service impeccable, de la gestion d'un évènement ou de l'amélioration continue de la qualité de l'accueil, joue un rôle dans le comfort et la satisfaction des visiteurs est une source de fierté.

Legacy is the word that best describes Rogers Group for me. It’s fulfilling to know I’m contributing to a tradition of dedication and values that my grandfather cherished, and I’m proud to be part of shaping its future for those who come after me.
My first memory of Rogers is a special one. When I was just six years old, I took a photo in front of the Rogers building, I still have the picture by the way—pure coincidence, or perhaps fate. Looking back, it feels as if I was always meant to be connected to this place. With my grandfather having worked at Rogers as a van driver, I grew up with a deep, almost familial bond to the company. I never imagined then that one day I’d walk through those same doors to start my career. That childhood moment, once just a snapshot, has become a meaningful memory in my journey with Rogers Capital. 16 years later, after finishing my university exams, Rogers Capital became the first company I applied to—and it was also the first to respond with an offer. It felt like all the moments connected, as if this path was meant to be. Accepting the offer instantly, I began work the very next day, and from that point forward, I’ve felt both proud and at home in this vibrant environment.
One of my most memorable experiences with Rogers Group was the first time I collaborated with the marketing team to promote the company through social media. Given my role as World Miss University of Mauritius, this opportunity was not only exciting but also deeply meaningful, as it allowed me to represent Rogers in a way that connected with people across different backgrounds. Also, youngsters like me feel so much included in the workplace and we are free to voice out our ideas and to have some fun while simultaneously working for the benefit of our Company. I remember the energy in the room as we brainstormed ideas to showcase Rogers’ dynamic work environment. This project was impactful because it blended my passion for outreach with Rogers' commitment to innovative engagement. Working with such a dedicated team reminded me why Rogers has such a lasting legacy. This experience truly showed me the value of being part of a company that nurtures its employees’ strengths and encourages them to excel beyond their roles despite having different groups of generations.

Joining this team back in 2010 was an honour. I remember my college days where we used to talk a lot about Rogers Group, and when I got the opportunity to join just some days after my final exams, i did so with no second thought.
My journey: 1) Starting as a Store Attendant to achieving my life's goal within the group. 2) Getting the opportunity to serve as a Brand Ambassador for Heritage Resorts for two mandates and being nominated in the Top 3 for the Best Ambassador Award (Excellence Award 2018).

I remember the warm welcome I received from all the team members on my first day. The working environment was so positive, and the enthusiasm of the team was contagious. It made me feel immediately at home and excited to be part of such a supportive and dynamic culture.
One of the most memorable moments for me at the Rogers Group was during a particularly challenging project. With a tight deadline and a lot of pressure, I could have easily felt overwhelmed. But instead, my colleagues came together to help and collaborate, and we successfully met the deadline. That experience and support really showed me the power of teamwork and the positive, solution-oriented mindset that defines the Rogers Group.

Legacy
Is a memory ever truly a moment, or is it the echo of what that moment awakens within us? My first memory of Rogers wasn’t about what I saw or heard—it was the shift in how I felt. It was the realization that this place wasn’t just built on processes or goals, but on the invisible threads of purpose, connection, and shared ambition. It made me question: Do we shape the places we belong to, or do they shape us? Perhaps my first memory of Rogers wasn’t about arriving—it was about becoming.
We are more than the tasks we complete or the deadlines we meet—for We 'R' the passion that drives progress. We are more than the titles we hold or the recognition we receive—for We 'R' the purpose that inspires excellence. We are more than the success we achieve or the challenges we face—for We 'R' the resilience that shapes our legacy. We ‘R’ something deeper—something shaped by the hands of time, by the lessons of experience, and by the wisdom of those who walked this path before us. Over the past seven years, I have had the privilege of embarking on a journey through the many facets of Rogers Capital. Each department I’ve worked in has offered a unique lens through which to understand the heartbeat of this organization. This journey has been far more than a professional experience—it has been a profound education in resilience, collaboration, and purpose. By delving into the intricacies of business operations and processes, I’ve come to appreciate the seamless interplay of people, ideas, and innovation that drives this company forward. Toward what stands out most about my time here is not a single moment, but the collective experiences that have shaped my understanding of what this organization truly represents. Every role I’ve taken on, every process I’ve mastered, and every challenge I’ve faced has deepened my connection to the company’s unwavering commitment to excellence. Trust was built in moments when the complexity of operations felt overwhelmed, yet it was in those very moments that I witnessed the power of collaboration and shared purpose. Whether it was streamlining a process, solving a critical issue, or simply supporting one another through demanding times, these experiences revealed something extraordinary: Rogers is not just a company. It is a living, breathing embodiment of what can be achieved when people unite with a shared vision and passion.

The building! My father used to work in this building when Air Mauritius was based at Rogers House. I often came with him during school holidays and wished I would also work here went I grow up. I would often pause for a moment, imagining myself as part of the vibrant team within those walls. The thought of contributing to such a prestigious company filled me with determination and hope. It was more than just a building; it was a symbol of my ambitions and the future I envisioned for myself.
When I joined the group in 2018, I was pleasantly surprised by the warmth and friendly atmosphere. I remember my pre-onboarding was a lunch with all members of HR team where I got to know them. Another aspect that surprised me when I joined: everyone, regardless of their level, is approachable, and experts are eager to share their knowledge. New ideas that challenge the status quo are always encouraged and welcomed.

A first step into a world of possibilities.
I'll never forget the exhilarating moment when a software solution I had worked on for months was finally launched. Watching it transform from an initial concept into a real-world application with tangible impact was incredibly rewarding. Rogers provided the platform to turn innovative ideas into practical solutions, teaching me the value of perseverance and the power of collaboration.

Ma première mémoire de Rogers est liée à mon entretien, une journée qui m’a laissé une impression durable. Je me souviens parfaitement d’être entrée dans le bâtiment sophistiqué de Rogers House, situé au cœur de Port-Louis. Le bâtiment dégageait une aura de professionnalisme et d’histoire, tout en étant tourné vers l’avenir, incarnant parfaitement ce que j’avais entendu sur la capacité du groupe Rogers à allier tradition et innovation. J’ai été conduite dans la salle de réunion appelée « Agility », une salle qui allait bientôt devenir très importante dans mon parcours au sein de l’entreprise. Assise là, j’ai été frappée par la manière dont tout était si soigné et méticuleusement organisé, reflétant les standards élevés du groupe. L’entretien était un mélange d’excitation et de nervosité, mais ce qui m’a le plus marquée, c’est la sensation d’entrer dans un monde où l’excellence et les opportunités semblaient illimitées. Je ne savais pas encore que « Agility » ne serait pas seulement une salle de réunion, mais une partie essentielle de mon histoire chez Rogers.
Un moment particulièrement mémorable lors de mon passage au sein du Groupe Rogers a été lorsque j'ai ouvert mes résultats du Higher School Certificate (HSC) – au travail. C'était en février, et cela ne faisait que quelques mois que j'étais chez Rogers, m'adaptant encore à ce nouvel environnement rapide et saisissant toutes les opportunités d'apprentissage. Je me souviens d'être assise dans la salle de réunion « Agility », un endroit où j'avais déjà vécu tant de premières : mon entretien, ma première réunion, et même mon premier recadrage. Ce jour-là, l'atmosphère était différente. Nerveusement, je me suis connectée pour vérifier mes résultats, entourée par cet environnement qui m'avait déjà tant apporté en si peu de temps. C'était surréaliste de voir mes résultats scolaires tout en étant au cœur d'une entreprise dont j'étais si fière de faire partie. Ouvrir mes résultats du HSC là-bas était symbolique – cela marquait à la fois une étape académique et professionnelle, et c'était un rappel de tout le chemin parcouru. Ce moment m'a renforcée dans l'idée de combien Rogers avait été un environnement de soutien et d'apprentissage, me permettant de grandir et de me développer, même en parallèle de mon propre parcours personnel.

Rogers fait partie de mon ADN. Mon épouse est une ancienne de Rogers. On s'est connu en 1989 et nous sommes mariés en 1991. Quand, en 2000, une opportunité m'est offerte pour tenter une expérience pour Rogers à l’étranger, mon épouse m’a suivi tout de suite pour le meilleur de Rogers. Je découvre à ce moment le Mozambique, où, avec deux autres collègues, nous démarrons MAHS - Mozambique Airport Handling Society, où j'occupe le poste de Operations Manager. J'ai continué mon périple à Madagascar au sein de Rogers Aviation Madagascar et mes enfants ont fait leurs études primaires et secondaires à Maputo et à Antananarivo. Ils ont eu ce même ADN que moi. Aujourd'hui, ils sont tous deux mariés et ont terminé leurs études brillamment en France et se remémorent de cet environnement de Rogers dans lequel ils ont grandi. Rogers a permis à ma famille et à mes enfants d'avoir une ouverture sur le monde et une grandeur et une ouverture d'esprit. Ma famille est aujourd'hui internationale comme Rogers, avec une belle-fille française et un gendre malgache, qui vivent en France, s’adaptent facilement en Afrique et pourront vivre en harmonie à Maurice. Rogers m’a offert ce privilège d'avoir grandi avec mes enfants en suivant les valeurs que Rogers m’a transmis pendant 16 ans d’expatriation, les années de développement de mes enfants. Rogers est ainsi ma famille au sens propre du terme !

The small IT office, designed for a team of five and housing multiple Air France servers, was tucked away on the mezzanine of Rogers House.
Seeing the Bank of Mauritius infrastructure project finally completed was an unforgettable milestone. It was like watching a road open after months of hard work, with every detail meticulously planned and executed. The pride we felt was immense. Throughout the project, moments of true teamwork shone brightest when challenges cropped up unexpected delays, resource constraints, tight deadlines. But every time, the team stepped up, pitching in with solutions, ideas, and support. Those experiences built bonds and memories that went beyond just this project, forming a foundation of trust and camaraderie that will last for years to comet.

Coming to Port Louis with my dad on Saturdays and passing by the huge Rogers House. At that time I felt so tiny in front of this building.
One of the most memorable experience was the renovation of several floors of Rogers House by Rogers Capital, especially witnessing the change that occurred on the emblematical 3rd floor of the building. The moving in was also an intensely emotional moment.

My first memory of Rogers is from my very first day with the company. I still remember walking into the office and immediately feeling a sense of warmth and professionalism from everyone around me. What struck me most was how welcoming the team was and how smoothly the onboarding process went. One specific moment that stands out was meeting my manager for the first time. They took the time to not only explain the company's goals and values but also to ask about my own professional aspirations. That early connection made me feel like Rogers genuinely cared about my development and well-being right from the start. It was in that moment that I knew I was joining a company with a strong, people-focused culture, which has continued to shape my positive experience ever since.
A particularly memorable moment during my time at the Rogers Group was in March 2020, when the company was flourishing across all areas. Then COVID-19 struck. We were suddenly faced with unforeseen challenges, but the way the team came together during that period was truly inspiring. At the time, I was working for Cap d'Abondance, a company rooted in the tourism industry, which was hit hard as business plummeted to 0%. People across the country were anxious about their jobs, and many were left unemployed and struggling. However, at Rogers, we had the reassurance that we were in the right place, and we were determined to get through this difficult phase, which we did. We recovered exceptionally well. I'm so proud to be part of a company like Rogers, which truly makes a difference in its employees' lives, from health campaigns to birthday leaves, employee discounts across various companies, and many other valuable benefits. That experience really emphasized for me the collaborative and supportive culture at Rogers Group. It reinforced how, when we work together, we can overcome any obstacle. It's a moment that made me feel proud to be part of such a dedicated and talented team.

It was 2016. I had left behind the polished, ultra-modern luxury of Singapore, where skyscrapers sparkled against the skyline, and everything moved with clockwork precision, from the bustling business districts to the immaculate public spaces. Arriving in Mauritius, the contrast was striking. I was very apprehensive about being able to adapt. But my doubts began to slowly dissolve as soon as I stepped onto the fifth floor of Rogers House and I was Prema at the reception, smiling and looking so welcoming! Then I met more people in the office, and I soon realised that Rogers wasn't just a corporate entity; it was a place filled with genuine warmth and an authentic connection to the island. People spoke with pride, not only about their work but about Mauritius itself. They shared stories of growth and tradition, of challenges and resilience, and, in those conversations, I saw how deeply they valued both progress and heritage. Rogers became more than just an employer; it became my gateway into understanding Mauritius on a level I hadn't anticipated. The company embodied a delicate balance: it embraced Mauritius' natural beauty and traditions, while still aspiring to evolve, innovate and grow.
In my first few weeks at Rogers, we had a meeting with someone in the Hospitality cluster, held at Le Telfair. I had never been there before, and as I walked into the reception area, I paused, captivated by the view stretching out before me. The scene was nothing short of exquisite, and it took my breath away. In that moment, I felt a profound sense of gratitude and pride to be part of a Group that not only owned such a remarkable property but also created this same awe-inspiring experience for guests from around the world.
