Testimonials

Head Leadership Development, Royal Bank of Scotland

I would be only too happy to say that the Xperentia team exceeded our expectations in delivering very high quality results in the Top Leaders’ Team building initiative for us at RBS …..
The expedition that started with a train journey from Delhi to Rishikesh for the entire group, itself proved that we were in the right hands!

Our actual 3 days’ team building commenced in Devprayag and the way Xperentia managed the safety, security and activity type and schedule was commendable. The tasks among the participants was such distributed so as to maximise the dependency and trust on each other for their very basic needs of food and shelter….that I thought was a master stroke!!

The resultant was powerful as the group internalised and realised the strength and worth of every other member in tiding through the travails of the 3 day journey down the rapids in meagre rafts and camping and cooking to sustain themselves….. The other thing that you achieved with the group was to bring down the masks and barriers which they conveniently don otherwise …..
All I can say is that at the end on this workshop, you managed to not only exceed the objective of bringing this warring and hostile group together but also ascertain that the cohesive team you built sustained thus for many years and over the organisation’s challenging times .
My salute to Team Xperentia!!!

General Manager Human Resources at Unilever

HUL worked with Xperentia to design and facilitate a rural camping event with our top 100 leaders. Through the day the theme of bringing alive the power of Ambition overcoming resources was brought out beautifully, and more importantly, subtly. Both Anand and Anamika are a great team to work with and I highly recommend their unique interventions.
