Each activity conducted was done really-really well. Extremely innovative - the props that they used were very simple but the value that each activity added was outstanding! The best part was a power packed debrief. They are simply amazing to say the least. A Ten star rating isn't enough to summarize the value that they added to the participants who attended. I wish the team all the very best for all the efforts to deliver a memorable training program.

Just wanted to thank you on behalf of our Khan Academy India team for the super energetic session today! You really made us feel that we were all in the moment and being virtual didn’t matter! The entire team is super excited about the final production and we will join your zoom invite for Monday for about 15-20 mins to watch it and soak it in together! Once again, thanks for truly delivering a fantastic experience and thank you FocusU for suggesting Beatbox Acapella as I know we had multiple discussions on this!

It forced me to learn and grow in spite of dealing with my busy schedule of juggling between work and a new-born back at home. You helped me understand new concepts in merely 15-30 mins ; and challenged me to think through different issues I should deal with. I should get them sorted mentally in my mind first than in real life. Thank you for helping me grow my knowledge.

We need a high energy program which makes each member truly belong to the team”. This was the brief we gave to FocusU team. We were glad we decided to go with them because all the activities that the team did were high on energy with a specific focus in mind. At the end, we came out as a better team, knew so much about each other. There was lot of trust, bonhomie and 'can do' attitude at the end.
Rob Aldridge

The Avery Premier League sessions gave us a chance to meet and know people across APAC, and have fun together as a team. This will also help in future when we reach out to these people for work-related projects. All the activities were well planned and really brought the team spirit in us. Overall, it's been a fantastic fun and learning experience!
Suhas Bhatia

We have done similar exercises in past so I can honestly tell you that our experience with FocusU has been among the best. The team were very accommodating during discussions. Our requested changes were honored with minimum discomfort. The activities were engaging and crisp; and the entire team was super pumped after each one. The trainers did a fabulous job of keeping the group together.
Priya Jagannath
Mckinsey Research Analyst -
I had heard rave reviews about FocusU from my colleagues and I reached out to them for a building activity for our year-end party. It was organized on a weekend and when the employees arrived an hour late, energy and spirit were extremely low. However, all my concerns were put to rest with the high level of energizers conducted by the FocusU facilitator, which got everyone moving and interacting.
Shabana Qasmi
Louis Dreyfus Company Services India Private Limited SSC HR Lead -
Thank you for the fabulous activity your team conducted. It was extremely engaging. It also brought out relevant de-briefs we were looking for around change. Participants enjoyed themselves a lot. FocusU team was extremely professional in ensuring the set-up etc. was well in place before we kicked of. This is even more commendable given this was a last minute thing.
Rakesh Prasad
India Global Delivery Center Manager, Learning & Development -
It’s been over a week since the team has returned from the offsite, but they just can’t seem to stop raving about it! Thanks to the activities arranged by FocusU and the amazing execution of the program, this offsite has been hailed as the best offsite they have ever attended within the company and outside of it as well!
Susan Cheryl Noronha
IIFL Wealth Management Human Resources -
FocusU has been a truly wonderful partner to work with and our experience in collaborating with this fabulous team has been consistently brilliant! The pandemic forced us to convert our planned engagement from a F2F format to a virtual one connecting almost 300 colleagues. FocusU embraced this as a challenge. Their effort to develop the MusoMagic challenge as a virtual program, is praiseworthy!

We had a virtual team event with approx 80 members for 90 mins. Every member was kept engaged with the initial ice-breaker games followed by the actual game. All our team members enjoyed it a lot and were thrilled while solving the hunt. I strongly recommend FocusU team for such virtual company team events. Our senior members in the team were also very positive about the overall event.

FocusU was able to successfully generate high levels of enthusiasm & energy during the training program on Innovative Thinking & Collaboration. This demonstrates their professional approach, ability to correlate industry best practices and expertize in experiential learning programs. The participants could relate the learnings to their functions and take away practically executable action plans.
Ajay Munjal
Tata Communications Ltd. Vice President – Business Operations | Global Enterprise Solutions -
The intervention that FocusU designed was brilliantly relevant for our management offsite. It was flawlessly executed. The exercises got us to smile, laugh, put our thinking caps on, connect but above all reflect constructively about some of our key issues. The facilitators kept the energy and encouragement going but knew where to step back and allow the conversations to move forward unaided.
Prabir Jha
Cipla President & Global Chief People Officer -
We were all super impressed by the team, they were very well prepared and absolutely took charge of everything they did. What a fun bunch, I'm glad we partnered on this and can safely say it all went very well. Huge THANK YOU to you and the team on the ground!
Farheen Mehdi

I am writing this as an extremely satisfied and delighted customer. Ours is a very young team. Many of our team members joined us directly from campus over the last five years. We also have a multi-disciplinary engineering team. Our challenge was to get the entire team working together as one, demonstrating a high degree of ownership. For this, we needed a program that was highly engaging and fun.
RamG Vallath

The item that took this class from a social learning experience to tangible training was the quantitative tools that were presented. These will allow me to focus my decisions in a manner that is justifiable and defensible. Any decision maker that might be called on the carpet needs this training to defend themselves and their decisions in a quantifiable manner.
Keith L. Perrin
Intel Corporation, USA SW Engineering Manager -
This holistic approach offers a new decision-making framework that managers in a variety of enterprises, cultures, and countries are using to help ensure that the decisions they take are economically, socially, and environmentally sound.

Cory L. Smith

This was not just another FocusU workshop. To elaborate, it was right on the brief and very high on engaging all members of the team!

G.Saikrishnan
The Hindu Group of Publications Asst General Manager - Corporate -
FocusU has always made learning interesting. Topics are converted into activities and the learning from the activities are then discussed - which makes us relate to it in real time. The best part is there is no PPT and the team is always takes inputs for discussion. A facilitator is definitely more knowledgeable than the people who attend the training. The key is how you hold your intelligence within yourself and get down to the level of attendees.

FocusU did a great job of helping us pick the activity to suit our organization, which has people from diverse backgrounds and age groups.

Within just two minutes of our interaction with the FocusU team, we got convinced that our decision to go for new trainers will not be wrong decision. They explained the activities so passionately that in that half hour of discussion with them we were already day dreaming of our offsite day. On D day, the facilitators swayed us away from our daily work pressure with their extraordinary energies.

Rajeev Nagi
Teleflex India Managing Director -
While the Pixel Challenge helped us bring the team together for the reinforcement of our new corporate Values, the Celluloid challenge forced our young management trainees to put on their creative hats to demonstrate how these values affect their work. Activities like 'Geo Caching challenge' are a great medium to get diverse teams working together.

It's always a difficult task to energetically engage the senior leadership team in team building activities. As most of them have been to many such workshops in past and the first feeling is “Oh!

To truly engage about 250+ people to crowdsource the lyrics, get them to sing, dance & record; and all that virtually wasn’t easy!! But we did it!! The melody truly depicts our pride, passion, emotions, and aspirations as a brand!! Many of us had goosebumps watching & listening to the Anthem, which means it struck a chord deep within! Cheers to your commitment to this project & authentic efforts. We have had a great experience working together.

We could observe vast improvement in all the presentations given by the business heads…. Once again, you have gone above and beyond in your efforts to bring out the best in each of them!
InterGlobe Air Transport Senior HR Rep -
Ravi is a master of storytelling. Lots of people have the ability to take your idea and create a great story. Very few people can take an already great story and make it 'wow'. Ravi did that magic for our speakers during TEDxPune 2019. Highly recommended if you want to make your Story Rule!

Our distributors loved your presentation at Goa last week. My heartiest congratulations to you on a brilliant session ! Many of our distributors have spontaneously told us, later in the day, that your session has provoked them to think, and has imparted a new urgency to key actions that they need to take. And of course, they found the session very lively, energetic and interesting. Indeed, I thought the best compliment I could convey to you was one of our upcountry distributors meeting me over dinner that night, and telling me that he was now seized of the importance of local marketing activity. He said that he had been inspired by your presentation to think of a local marketing campaign in various housing complexes in his territory, for our recently launched Titan Raga campaign !

I would like to thank you for your valuable presence as Guest Speaker at the Brand Licensing & Merchandising Show in Mumbai on Feb.26-27,2009.

Harish was excellent, awesome in moderating the Neta connect event sponsored by ELCIA. It is a very difficult task to handle candidates of such profile on stage. He was able to keep discussions within the timelines and boundaries, manage a kind of camaraderie building among candidates that were taking opposing positions and in face-off situations. He was able to bring out the candidates personality traits, softskills - listening abilities, expectation setting, etc. And importantly people go to KNOW the candidates better. Compared to similar programs that we watch on TV, where the situation converts into some kind of rude fighting match - this was just amazing. I am also impressed by Harish's insightful articles in print media.

I thoroughly enjoyed the two day MBTI® session! The overall objective was to get insights on introspection - to enable us to handle our team, work culture and environment, according to the situation. It's like reading yourself through the mirror! If applied on a daily basis, we are able to build trust and confidence, to communicate, discover opportunities, and handle constructive conflicts.

Working with FocusU has been a pleasure. We have realised that there is a ‘Focus’ way of working and one ends up experiencing Fun, Professionalism, Learning, Action, Achievement while achieving the outcomes of the workshop.

Last week, we picked up those “Glad, Mad and Wish we had” chits generated in the offsite and called everyone together. We discussed all those things and tried sorting a few things as you suggested. The team was so happy and cheerful seeing us listening to them.

Our brief to FocusU was that with the large number of changes in the Regional Leadership Team, we need to get to know each other and build trust. Being a cross-functional team with diverse people – in age, backgrounds, experiences and geographically-dispersed – this was crucial. They understood this and customized a workshop which was fun and met all our objectives.

It was not easy to keep a group of highly experienced doctors and seasoned professionals engaged. FocusU team did a great job navigating the group with confidence. We all enjoyed and therefore learned through the process with lots of laughter, fun and new insights.

FocusU conducted an excellent training program - the team was full of energy and enthusiasm. The sessions were led with tremendous gusto ensuring participation of each member. The messages were driven home through a very intuitive process of games in practice followed by theory sessions. The process of taking immediate feedback and discussion resulted in participative and experiential learning.
Sandeep Kakar
Aditya Birla Capital -
The activities were truly fun. Particularly enjoyed the quirky challenges which made us get over our inhibitions like performances before colleagues or letting the fun side of our personalities show through photos we'd prefer to keep to ourselves. The time constraint and need for coordination amongst team members really fuelled our creativity both as individuals and as a team.
Pravin Mahajan
Shobiz Experiential Communications Pvt Ltd VP Strategic Business Unit -

I commend the work put in by your team. We had originally planned to try a technology-based team challenge but eventually went with their recommendation of the Dominos Challenge. We had so much fun, while experiencing learnings from each other and the activity itself. The way the insights were tied in together was truly splendid. A great team building session with so many moments of wow!
Radha Sriharsha

We were initially apprehensive on how the team building event would play out, as we had not worked with FocusU earlier. However, FocusU exceeded our expectations; they did a wonderful job in bringing together a diverse group of people. At the end, there were only smiles and laughter. A special mention for “Pixel Challenge” – the painting that we created as a team, is something we proud of!

I would like to congratulate and thank you for helping PVMI with such an engaging and fun session for the summer interns as part of their Induction. You already had various options for the session in mind when we were planning for the induction in our office. But when Covid19 situation led to the lockdown, you were able to quickly suggest other options, which could be done in a virtual manner. It was wonderful working with the team who were ready with the entire flow of the program from Day 1 and were able to execute it exactly how we had planned the sessions to be. The session held true to what we at PVMI stand for – Fun, Connecting and Enriching. Even in a virtual session they were able to maintain the mood as we have got used to during FocusU physical sessions. Last but not least, I would like to thank them also for helping us with such a beautiful video and posters of the interns. They were always available to help us make the video and the posters look perfect. The entire management of PVMI was really appreciative of what we had to show at the end of the session. Thanks to the entire team of FocusU who made it possible and helped us in giving a very differentiated experience to our Interns
Dibyo Choudhary

Thank you for conducting such a great activity for our team. The activity (random act of kindness) was fun, motivating and engaging.

Learning by doing” is the most efficient tool to improve the process and give opportunity to think out of box!!!!!! In 2 days session, I have learnt huge amounts of approaching the different ways of thinking and have enjoyed every single one of your session. I’d like to say what a complete “eye-opener” day had been for me. It truly was brilliant, I enjoyed every minute. It was exactly what I needed in the run up to such a huge personal & career development and I have walked away with the confidence and the determination to get on. Objectives were clearly stated from the start. I gained a greater knowledge of thinking on different ways and ideas. There are too many good points and case studies which gives a nice flavour to the workshop. The course was very relevant to my job and will help me in most aspects of my work as well as life. The workshop was very enjoyable and worthwhile from both a professional and personal perspective. The facilitator gave the learning messages across by breaking everything down into simplified sections as it was very informative and practical. It will also help bring about profound change in the way we interact / deal with our process or people. The knowledge imparted by the facilitator was immense, intensive and inspiring. The methodology used was unique. The sessions brought about innovation and creativity in the way we do things and the way we want to do things, in other words “Sharpening our Axe”. From start to finish, the standard of venue and food was excellent, facilitator lead an innovative and inspiring session to the group, keeping us busy all day to pack in as much as possible. By covering many aspects, including interactive activities, sharing personal experiences with each other really helped to cement our knowledge on the day. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to enhance my skills in such a vibrant learning environment. Now it’s time to put it all into practice. We left with the reminder that the edict to "Act locally but think globally" is still relevant.

As a People’s company, everyone knows and understands the concept of Growth Mindset & Accountability, however the kind of activities and experiential learning programmed by FocusU added an element of excitement and gave us enough room to think and play around it. Great effort was put into make the overall session very logical coupled with the de-briefs after summing up each activity.
Divya Chauhan
TrueBlue India LLP L&D Partner -
What started as a Google Search looking for vendors conducting team building activities, ended up in a highly fruitful and insightful relationship with FocusU. Their team was with us all the way - from the pre-planning/brain-storming, to the final execution. The program was light, highly energizing and had plenty of memorable moments. Will we team up with these guys again? You bet we would!
Anoop Tawde
DHL India Operations Training Manager -
FocusU did a great job in creating an informal and casual atmosphere which was perfect for the kind of sessions that were conducted. We have been working together for over a year but this workshop has helped develop a renewed sense of bonding. The highlight was the sharing-of-life experiences which was conducted with remarkable ease and affability.

Thank you for giving us a unique opportunity to get to know each other and experience our team in a different set up and circumstances.

An amazing overall experience, which was like peeling layers of leadership psychology to discover self and understand others in the team. FocusU led us to a journey of unearthing the mindsets through challenging tasks and a right amount of debriefing. The session has resulted in increased collaboration amongst team members and driving the organizational mission with renewed passion.
Mayur Chaturvedi

Using people engagement, leadership & team effectiveness to fuel business turnaround and results upped my faith in the power of the ‘more human approach’ that I believe in. The web of deep connections that we established, grew over time, and we saw what a group of united, committed and intelligent individuals can achieve as ‘One Team’. The FocusU team were true catalysts in this journey.
Aanchal Grover
HUL North Team HR Business Partner -
I would like to thank FocusU for organizing the team building which turned out to be a great fun-filled learning exercise for the entire team. All the activities planned through the day ensured maximum interaction amongst all participants. We could feel the difference in the attitude of team members right away, we went in as 3 different teams and by the end of the day it was 1 big team.
Anand Hirekatur
Nihilent Technologies Pvt. Ltd. Delivery Head -
What started as a search for a training vendor on Google has come a long way with several identified FocusU interventions over the years. In each intervention, we have achieved our stated objectives of Learning & Development - like Team building, Collaboration, Decision making in uncertainty, Drive for results, Shared vision etc. among a very diverse group of people.
Rakesh Kher
Minda Distribution & Services Ltd President -
FocusU has always delivered to the objective set out with perfection. They always bring new ideas and exercises to help deliver the message and achieve the objective. Lego Serious Play is an extremely powerful tool which we have used for team visioning sessions. The entire exercise is engaging and helps bring out various aspects of discussion on the table in a non-threatening way.
Sachin Jain
PepsiCo India Region Manager Leadership Capability -
When I first saw your huge clientele that included companies like Adobe, Deustche Bank and E&Y, I wondered - do large companies keep coming back since you're the best at what you do, or have you turned out to be the best at what you do because large companies keep coming back? That list will grow bigger as FocusU has certainly exceeded all expectation at our recent team building event.
Amit Madan
Collage Group HR Manager -
The concepts discussed in the workshop helped our participants to collaborate better with their cross-functional team members. Your openness & promptness in working on feedback shared with you is commendable. The change made in getting the participants to come up with their own case study and getting them to use it during the workshop has been a wonderful value addition.
Ananta Yadav
Dr. Reddy’s Laboratory Manager L&D -
A fantastic experience. The way, it went was amazing and I was able to correlate many things on what I am doing right and also I was able to re-align on what I should be doing to stay in line with 'reality' :). In fact, I have already suggested to many others to make this training as a “must attend” training irrespective of their title group. Whether it was the trainer or the content I am not really sure. But I would say, I thoroughly enjoyed it and liked it - without any second thoughts! Great job done by the FocusU Facilitators – I would be eager to attend few more sessions if done by them on similar or other interesting training topics.
Shivakumar Sounder Raj
CGI Senior Executive -
The Leadership workshop helped all of us to take a step back and analyse ourselves on the kind of leadership traits we have and that we don’t have. How we could all become better leaders and help others grow along with us.
Anuj Mathur
Reed Manch Exhibitions Managing Director -
FocusU was a simple Google search for me. Having said that, there were other training firms whose details also showed up. But right from the time that I established my first contact with them, there has not been an instance where I had to follow up with their team. Extremely proactive, understand their clients needs and the best part - they customize the training requirements really well!
Antony Titus
DHL Express India Head - Customer Service Development -
Thank you for an excellent senior management intervention (AGM – AVP level) using the Leadership Challenge construct. The program aimed to develop leaders embodying our brand.

Thank you FocusU and Smollan L&D team for designing such a wonderful continuous learning program. It acted like small and effective doses to look for what next.

Vijay Varshney
SMOLLAN Head of Technology - MESA -
FocusU facilitated a 2 day 'Stepping into Coaching ' workshop for a group of senior leaders from CGI. Their session was engaging and gave us insights on improving the effectiveness of our leadership. They ensured that the program was interactive enabling easy flow of thoughts and perspectives through out the program. I would recommend this program to anybody looking at growing as a coach leader.
Shilpa Subbaiah

The whole process of pre-planning, material delivery, organizing instructions, venue visit etc, was done seamlessly.

The event was very will timed, the debriefs were very specific and applicable to work life, the execution team was very professional, yet engaged with our employees very well.
Neeta Kwatra

Thank you for the teambuilding and leadership sessions. We commend your ability and skills in understanding our needs and facilitating learning through fun and experiential activities. The exercises gave us with an opportunity to reflect and assess our performance; and to think about our strengths and weakness in working as an individual and most importantly, as team members towards a common goal.
Roseleen Gurung
Tarayana Foundation Program Officer -
I appreciate that the “Leading for Success” training program was more experiential than theory. The best part is, we were all asked to perform multiple activities and concepts were explained by observing us during the course of the activity. So there was no boring class room kind of lecture and the learning was from your own action. My special thanks to FocusU for an interactive session.
Selvam
CGI Associate Consultant -
I appreciate the time management, level of expertise & knowledge of FocusU's facilitators. Most importantly, which I found was definitely your differentiator - the course design and debriefing. All the identified training needs were met. All three trainers were very professional; the use of technology was also very good. In a batch of 96, they kept everyone together and focused as well.
Neelam Dhaka
JCB India Limited Senior Manager – Training -
My overall experience as a learning consultant was definitely perfect and I would surely recommend FocusU within my network. Content for the two series of workshops on Leadership challenge was apt for our new managers and added a lot of value.
Upasna Bhatia
BlackRock Talent Management -
It forced me to learn and grow in spite of dealing with my busy schedule of juggling between work and a new-born back at home. You helped me understand new concepts in merely 15-30 mins ; and challenged me to think through different issues I should deal with. I should get them sorted mentally in my mind first than in real life. Thank you for helping me grow my knowledge.
Ketki Desai
SMOLLAN Area Asst. - West Region -
I have never received such overwhelmingly positive feedback from participants for any other program! Even the typical critics came proactively to thank me. But the real credit goes to FocusU of course. Unlike typical training filled with slides, theories and handouts, FocusU brings in a different way of learning while enjoying participation. The know how to make learning more effective.
