A reset room inside your office, and
nobody has to be persuaded to use it.
Zen Garden is the world's first permanent mental and emotional reset room, built inside your own office floor. Three zones, a Zen Expert on site, open all day.
Watch the room, two minutes →
No form, no waiting.
The film and the six stops are right below. You do not have to give us your name to look at a room, so look first, and talk to us only if you want to.
Walk the room, stop by stop.
It is on your floor, not in a wellness centre.
A door people pass anyway. Nothing to book, no sign-in, no badge, nobody asking what you are here for. Every step between a tired person and the room is a step where most turn back.
Why it mattersTen steps from the desk is the difference between a room people mean to visit and one they are already standing in.
The body settles before anything else is attempted.
Sound and breath. Somebody walking in off four hours of calls is still braced, and nothing later works while they are.
In this zoneSinging bowls and gong. Guided breathwork. Touch, worked by hand.
Naming it exactly is most of the work.
A wooden emotion wheel, a journal nobody reads but you, and a mirror. It sounds slight written down. It is the zone people are most sceptical about on day one and describe most precisely six months on.
In this zoneThe emotion wheel. Journaling, private and unprompted. Mirror work.
Nothing is asked of you here at all.
No prompts, no guidance. A textured path walked barefoot, live planting, somewhere to stop. Nobody uses this zone in week one. By month two it is the one people cannot do without.
In this zoneA grounding path. Live planting. Stillness, which is the point of the whole sequence.
A room with nobody in it becomes storage.
A resident Zen Expert is here every working day. Not a visiting facilitator, not a rota. Not a therapist, not a coach, not HR in a different chair. They report to Zariyaa, not to you.
Why the reporting line mattersIt is the first thing we would refuse to trade away.
What gets written down, and what never does.
Every visit is logged at zone level: which zone, how long, first-time or returning. No badge scans, no identity recorded at any point. The Zen Expert keeps the count, in the room.
Where that number goesInto a usage report that reaches the client every Friday, rising or not.
Seen enough to have questions?
Nothing is asked of you.
A room that is simply there gets walked into.
A gym subsidy needs a habit held through the worst quarter of the year. An app needs opening on the day it is least likely to be opened. An assistance line needs a call from somebody with nothing left to make it with.
Each asks for a decision at the moment of least energy. So they get budgeted, they go unused, and the meditation corner becomes where the spare chairs live.
Take the friction away and usage stops being a motivation problem. It becomes a physics problem.
Which is why this is recovery infrastructure rather than a campaign. It gets budgeted the way the cafeteria is, and survives a bad quarter.
Companies who have had a Zen Garden in their building.
Flipkart Bengaluru and Manhattan Associates are the two with usage figures in the record, and theirs are the only numbers on this page.
Every office essential was once optional.
We are not going to tell you what 2030 looks like. What we will say is that every line above followed the same path, that none of them were obvious at the time, and that each one was argued about in a room like the one you are sitting in.
Three zones, in this order, for a reason.
A real, built room inside the office you already have. Not an app, not a nap pod.
Zone 01 · the entry
Balance
Sound and breath. The charge of the workday comes off first, because nothing after it works while the body is braced.
Zone 02 · the middle
Blossom
An emotion wheel, journaling, mirror work. Naming what you are carrying, which turns out to be most of the work.
Zone 03 · the end
Bliss
A grounding path walked barefoot, live planting, and nothing asked of you. The last zone people try and the first they miss.
What it is built from, and why a room alone is not enough
Mineral-infused paint. Biophilic materials, bamboo, stone, brass, never synthetic. A handcrafted oil blend. Full-spectrum lighting that tracks the circadian rhythm. Sound tuned to specific frequencies. Each chosen for what it does to a nervous system, not for how it photographs. No branding on the door.
None of it is enough on its own. A well-designed room with nobody in it becomes a lounge, and then storage. A resident Zen Expert is present every working day, and reports to Zariyaa rather than to your HR department, which is why people walk in unannounced.
Zen Garden is a preventive and supportive wellbeing programme, not clinical treatment. Zen Experts are trained to recognise when someone needs more than the room can offer and to refer appropriately. Responsibility for clinical care remains with qualified healthcare professionals.
Do not take our number. Take yours.
Two days of a working Zen Garden inside your own office, before you commit to anything.
- What it costs
- ₹2,00,000 for the two days, confirmed in writing before anything is installed. No survey fee, no deposit, nothing added later.
- What we do to make it work
- Nothing. No mandate, no announcement. Your people find the room and use it on their own, or they do not.
- What you are holding at the end
- A usage figure measured on your floor, with your people, on the same definitions we use in a permanent room. Not our projection. Yours whether you go ahead or not.
What they wrote, not what we did.
No survey and no prompt. There is a book in the room and people reach for it on their own. This is a sample of it, in their own hand.
Zen Garden is my escape at the office. Every time I step in, it is like hitting the reset button on my mind.
I walk in stressed and walk out smiling. It has changed how I approach challenges.

A tough day at work, and just a few minutes here turned it around. My secret place to zen out.

Visitors, not the companies that bought the room. Nobody was asked to write anything, which is also why none of it can be counted. The usage log is the representative number.
Below is the record, including the parts that need explaining and the figure we have taken off this page.
Flipkart Bengaluru, when nobody was told to go
A converted meeting room on one floor, grown by word of mouth.
The number that tells the story is not the 25%. It is that month six was higher than month one, the opposite curve to everything else tried in these buildings.
Manhattan Associates, and why 240 needs a paragraph
The busiest day in our record is 240 visits in one working day, at Manhattan Associates. Read that one carefully, because we would.
One peak day, in a 250 sq ft converted meeting room running as a temporary two-day trial. Flipkart’s steady state is 184 visits a week. Divide one by the other and they look impossible to reconcile, so here is the reconciliation: different rooms, different windows, and a trial draws novelty traffic a permanent room does not. We publish it because it is in the log, not because your floor should expect it.
If you want a number that predicts your building, neither of these is it. Two days on your own floor is.
How we count, and what we refuse to count
Each visit is recorded at zone level: which zone, how long, first-time or returning. No badge scans, no identity captured at any point, which makes it DPDP-compliant by construction. There is nothing identifying to protect, because nothing identifying was ever captured.
It is also the mechanism. The moment a visit can be attributed to a person, the walking-in stops. We refuse to start, including when your legal team asks.
The report goes out every Friday unasked, in the same shape every week. A report whose structure changes when the number is bad is a tell, and buyers read tells.
The definitions in fullThe measurement page sets out what counts as a visit.
A figure that came off this page, and came back
For years our sales material quoted a return rate of 91%. Our own measurement chapter used a different window, so two of our documents disagreed and we took the number off this page rather than pick the flattering one.
It is settled now, and narrower than it used to be: of first-time visitors to our permanent rooms, 91% come back within the same week. The two windows were never really in conflict. Week one asks whether people came back at all. The week-two window in our measurement chapter asks whether use held up, which is a harder question and a different figure. Each one now says which it is.
It is permanent rooms only, because a two-day trial has no second week to count.
The room count is on this page now. Seven permanent Zen Gardens are installed and running. Fifteen more organisations have run a Zen Garden on their own floor. For years those two were added together and quoted as one number. They are not the same thing. They are no longer said as one.
What it costs, against one senior exit
That is the whole finance case. There is no retention percentage on this page, because we do not have one that is a log rather than a guess. What we hand you is a weekly record of whether your people use it.
We would rather be interrogated than believed.
Four commitments. Every one is about us.
Not one is a promise about how your people will behave, because nobody can honestly make that promise.
The questions your board will ask you
Our people already ignore the gym subsidy and the app. Why would this be different?
CHROBecause it asks nothing of them. Each of those needs a decision at the moment of least energy: form the habit, book the class, open the app. This is a room ten steps away, with nobody to tell and nothing to book. And you need not take that on trust. Run the two days and read your own floor’s number.
What if our people just don’t use it?
CHRO · CFOThen you will know before you commit, which is why the two-day trial exists. After that you keep knowing: the Friday report goes out whether the number is rising or not, and if the room underperforms by week six we redesign it at our cost.
Who is the Zen Expert, and do they report to us?
CHRO · LEGALPresent every working day, and reporting to Zariyaa rather than to your HR department. Not a therapist, not a coach, not HR in a different chair. If you ask us to have them flag struggling employees, we will refuse. The moment that happens the room stops being safe and there is nothing left to measure.
Zariyaa has been doing this for six years.
Zen Garden is not a product somebody licensed. It is built and run by Zariyaa Happy Wellbeing Pvt Ltd in Bengaluru, and every room is designed, installed and staffed by the same company.
No subcontractor between us and your floor. When a room underperforms, there is nobody else for you to ask.
Zariyaa’s practice is older and wider than this one product: wellbeing work delivered inside real organisations, over years, with the same people. Zen Garden is what happened when that practice was given a permanent room and asked to prove the room was being used.
The Recovery Standard, our published measurement standard, sets out the reasoning and the methodology in enough detail for a hostile reader to find a catch. We would rather hear about one from you than from a client six months in.
Tell us about your office.
One conversation about your floor and what you have already tried. If a trial makes sense, we quote it on the call.
You do not have to use the form. Email keertibohara@zariyaa.in with your company, your office headcount and a line about the space, or send the same on WhatsApp. It reaches the same person.
If you would rather read before speaking to anybody, the brief for your CFO asks nothing of you at all.
Thank you, that’s with us.
We'll come back to you about your office.
