Work With Put The Player First

Book a game for your leaders and watch how they really behave under pressure. Not how they think they behave. Not how they describe themselves in a 360. How they actually are, in the room, when it costs something.

I designed the game. I run the room. No licensing, no associate turning up with a watered-down version of the real thing.

It's a solo practice, so it's only 2–3 programmes a month and slots go 3–4 weeks out. If you have a date in mind, start early.

Why People Book This

01

The person who built it is the person in your room

I made every game. I run every session. Nothing gets briefed to a junior and thinned out on the way to your team. The value is all in the debrief, and the debrief needs the designer reading the room.

02

What a strategy simulation will never show you

This is not knowledge transfer and it is not a business-acumen game. It shows you who grabs control, who goes quiet, who sells the long game for a quick win. The game makes the data. The debrief turns it into something your people cannot unsee.

03

A number you can put in a deck

8.82 out of 10 on one programme, across its six session-days and 113 respondents. 100% comprehension on another. Real scores from real rooms - not a vague "great energy in the room" that you then have to sell to your CHRO.

How It Works

Four steps from first hello to a session people are still talking about weeks later. No long sales dance in the middle.

01 We talk

30 minutes. Your team, the thing you're actually trying to fix, and the world you're doing it in.

02 I pick the game

The right game, or the right combination, for the outcome you want. Sometimes that's one session. Sometimes it's a whole programme.

03 We shape it

Scenario, group size, and what the debrief has to land on. Built around your people. Not a template with your name on top.

04 We play

I run the full day. You get to watch your leaders as they really are. Then we debrief, and they leave with named actions.

113 people rated it. And here's the tell. Day 2 - the hard one, where they had to apply it and decide things - outscored the easy Day 1 in every single batch. The client didn't go away and think about it. They commissioned a second programme straight after.

A stakeholder-management workshop. Not one disagree, on every single metric. And every manager walked out with an action plan they had committed to out loud, in front of everybody.

What You Actually Get

All five, every programme, start to finish. Nothing here is an upsell and nothing gets quietly clipped out to hit a price.

  • A proper conversation before anyone books a room
    Your team, the real challenge, and exactly what the debrief has to surface. So the day is built around your people rather than around a template.
  • The session itself, every minute of it run by me
    Half day or full day. No associates, no hand-offs, no B-team when my calendar gets tight.
  • The EPPA debrief, which is where the real work happens
    It ties what just happened in the game to named behaviour patterns nobody can argue with. Because they watched themselves do it, an hour ago, in front of their colleagues.
  • Plus: a written behaviour summary for your CHRO
    A short report on the patterns that came up. Proof for the person who signed the budget, instead of a nice day that everyone forgets by Tuesday.
  • An action plan from every single person in the room
    Not a vague "I'll try to delegate more." A named behaviour, a named situation, a named date. Said out loud before they leave.

Straight Answers Before You Book

How far in advance do I need to book?

3 to 4 weeks usually. For multi-batch programmes make it 6 to 8 - the logistics and the customisation take longer once there are several cohorts.

Can you run the session outside Bengaluru?

Yes, happily. I travel for the right programme. Outstation sessions carry travel costs, quoted up front, so there is no surprise on the invoice.

What group sizes do you work with?

12 to 50 people per session. Bigger than that and we split it into batches - which usually works better anyway, because a smaller room keeps the behavioural data sharp.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

No. The games are built for a room. The social dynamics are the entire point and a screen flattens them, which flattens the data. So I don't offer it.

Can we licence the game?

No. The game and the facilitation are one thing, not two. Licensing it without me in the room defeats the whole purpose, because the value sits in the debrief and the debrief needs the person who built the game.

We're an L&D agency. Can we bring you in for our clients?

Yes, and I do this a lot. I come in as your named specialist. You keep the client relationship and you set your own margin. I charge you a facilitation fee, directly. No revenue share, no referral fees, no going behind you to your client. You bring the brief. I run the session.

What does it cost?

Programmes start at ₹50,000 for a group of 15 to 25 people. Where it lands depends on group size, seniority, location, and whether it's one session or a multi-batch programme. Write to me and I'll send you a quote within 24 hours.

So, Tell Me About Your Team

Who are you developing, and what are you trying to shift? I read every message myself and I reply inside 24 hours. No funnel. No SDR chasing you.

Book a discovery call

Here's my promise. If your team doesn't surface at least 3 named leadership behaviour patterns worth changing, I redesign the next session at no extra cost. The risk is mine, not yours.
