Our locations · Mauritius
In Mauritius, Etixio has engineers who, together with our engineers in Madagascar and project leadership in France, design, build and maintain software and AI solutions for our clients. English and French are both used every day, and the time difference with Paris is only 2 to 3 hours, which makes our Mauritius teams especially well suited to bilingual projects and international clients.

Mauritius at Etixio
Etixio designs, builds and maintains software and AI solutions. Our engineering teams in Mauritius and Madagascar are how we deliver, not a catalog of profiles: you entrust us with a product or a project, and we deliver it with a team led by a tech lead and managed from France.
In Mauritius, these teams include back-end, front-end, full-stack and mobile developers, QA engineers and product profiles (Product Owner, Product Manager). They usually work alongside our engineers in Madagascar as part of a single product team, with the same tools and the same rituals. Because they are comfortable in both English and French, they are a natural fit for products that live in two languages. To learn more about how we work, see our organization.
Mauritius at a glance
Mauritius is on UTC+4 all year round, with no daylight saving time. The time difference with Paris is 3 hours in winter and 2 hours in summer. Teams start their day before yours, and the shared window covers your morning and early afternoon, which is plenty for rituals, workshops and demos.
English is the language of government and much of the education system, French is widely used in the media and in business, and Mauritian Creole is the everyday language. Mauritius is a member of both the Commonwealth and the International Organisation of La Francophonie. Switching between languages within the same day is simply part of how things work.
The University of Mauritius, the University of Technology, Mauritius and Université des Mascareignes offer degrees in computer science and software engineering, and several foreign universities have campuses on the island. Graduates are used to working in English, often in French too, with people from several countries.
Cultural, legal and professional references feel familiar to both French and English-speaking companies. Mauritius and Madagascar are neighbors in the Indian Ocean, with only one hour of time difference between them, so our teams on both islands can work together in real time.
What we build
Our Mauritius teams work on the same kinds of projects as the rest of Etixio: business software, SaaS products, web and mobile applications, AI agents and AI features built into a product, taking an AI proof of concept through to production, and maintaining and evolving existing applications.
Products in English and French. A French software publisher selling internationally, technical documentation in English, French- and English-speaking users, partners or subsidiaries abroad: our Mauritian engineers talk to everyone in their own language.
Clients outside France. For a Belgian, Swiss, Canadian or English-speaking company, working with a team in Mauritius is straightforward: business English, experience with international collaboration, and working hours that fit Europe. For a company in Quebec, for example, we offer a dedicated offshore IT team. On some high-value English-language projects, our Mauritius team also works alongside our engineers in Vietnam, run as a single team.
A team shared with Madagascar. Several of our teams span both islands, with skills and working language driving the split. To compare the two locations, read Madagascar or Mauritius: which destination for your development team?
How we work
We start with the product: users, roadmap, existing systems, working language and security requirements. The team's makeup and its split between Mauritius and Madagascar follow from that need.
Engineers are selected for their technical skills and their ability to communicate, then introduced to your teams. An Etixio tech lead leads the team and remains your point of contact on quality.
Shared backlog, common repositories, systematic code reviews, automated tests and regular rituals (daily stand-ups, demos, retrospectives). We work in your tools, with role-based access.
Regular releases, demos and up-to-date documentation. The code and product knowledge stay accessible to your organization, wherever people are located.
Delivery continuity
Delivery continuity is an Etixio skill, built into the way our teams are organized.
Cloud-based tools and environments. Code repositories, development and test environments, tracking tools and documentation are hosted in the cloud, not on any single workstation.
Redundant workstations and connections. Our teams have redundant internet connections and workstations, backup power, and the option to work remotely.
Two islands, one team. Our teams in Mauritius and Madagascar can take over from each other, with the same tools, the same practices and shared knowledge of the product.
No dependency on a single person. Documentation, code reviews and knowledge sharing mean a task is never blocked because one team member is away.
Daily follow-up. Project leadership in France and the tech lead track progress every day and adjust the organization when needed.
Case studies
For a secure document sharing platform, we built a .NET and Flutter product team, with a Product Owner and QA, split between Madagascar and Mauritius and managed as a single unit.
A real estate data platform is built and enhanced continuously by developers in Madagascar and developers and a QA engineer in Mauritius. For the development of an eSIM offering, product management and QA are handled from Mauritius, within a multi-location setup.

Yes, we already work this way on several projects. The two islands are only one hour apart. A shared team uses the same backlog, the same tools and a single tech lead. The split depends on skills, working language and budget; see our offshore developer pricing.
Yes. Our engineers in Mauritius work fluently in English and French, so a project can run in either language, or both.
