I have 5 test suites which are independent of each other. I have to run it against the same environment. Most of my test suites consist of API calls. The test cases inside the suites should run in sequence as they are dependent on each other.

Is there any way we can run all the test suites in parallel via the pybot command?

There is no native handling of parallel executions of tests in Robot Framework. There is Pabot, a parallel executor for RF. Pabot allows test suite distribution and makes a combined report and log.
