Pauline, Xavier, Yan and Dorian are all graduates of Grenoble INP - Génie industriel and met while working at Bombardier. Together with Benoît, who comes from the EPFL*, they launched Xarian, a supply chain consulting company. Created a few days before the health crisis, the start-up had to put its activity on hold during the first lockdown in March 2020. Its creators then imagined a second company that offers a software solution for operations management (supply chain, manufacturing, security), thus maintaining remote activity. We met Xavier Feltin (GI2010), one of the co-creators, to discuss this experience.
