The questions you should ask, before you decide.
A three-zone reset room, built inside the office you already have. Nobody books it and nobody signs in. A resident Zen Expert is present every working day, and the reporting approach is agreed before launch.
This is written for the person who will argue for it, in a room where nobody from Zariyaa is sitting. You already know the fear: another line that gets approved, goes quiet, and comes back at you two quarters later. So every claim below is either a figure with its source in the same breath, or something Zariyaa agrees in writing for your room. Prepared by Zariyaa Happy Wellbeing Pvt Ltd, Bengaluru.
Everything else you bought asked something of a depleted person. A subsidy asks for a habit, an app asks to be opened, a helpline asks for a phone call. A staffed room ten steps from the desk reduces the friction of taking a moment to settle.
The argumentIt is a built room with a person in it, not a space set aside. Three zones, a resident Zen Expert present every working day, and nothing to book.
What is installedIt produces a weekly count, off your own floor. Recorded in the room by the Zen Expert. You receive counts by zone, and nothing that says who came.
How it is countedThe operating model is agreed before the room opens. Staffing, privacy, reporting and service arrangements should be written for your floor.
What to agreeYou can test it on your own floor before deciding anything. Scope, timing and commercial terms are confirmed in writing before anything is installed.
The next stepThree ways to take this with you. None of them asks for your email, and none of them tells us you were here.
No form stands between you and either document. Ask us for nothing, send us nothing, and forward whichever of them is useful.
One record, with its source attached.
A number only helps a decision when its floor and window remain visible. This is the usage record cleared for publication.
How we knowZone-level visit counts: 47 visits in week one, and 184 visits a week by month three on that same floor. It is one floor and one window, not a forecast for another office.
What this cannot tell you.It cannot predict adoption on your floor or prove a business outcome. A visit and trial give your team direct evidence before a larger commitment.
You did not buy the wrong things. They all asked the same thing.
Read the right-hand column as a single question: what does this ask of somebody who is already depleted, at the moment they have least to give? Every line went unused for the same structural reason, which is a better answer than a judgement about anybody’s people.
Asks for a habit formed, and then held through the hardest quarter of the year, outside the working day.
Asks to be opened on precisely the day it is least likely to be opened.
Asks for a phone call from somebody who has nothing left to make it with.
Asks for nothing and returns nothing. With nobody in the room and no count kept, it becomes the place the spare chairs live, and you never find out which month that happened in.
Asks for nothing. Somebody walks in. That single difference is what the rest of this brief is about. It is also why the spend belongs with the cafeteria and the meeting rooms rather than in the wellbeing line, which is the first line cut in a bad quarter.
We sold four of those five for years.Zariyaa still runs the yoga days and the workshops, and they work. Friday afternoon everybody is calm, then Tuesday the same person is braced again and the next session is five weeks out. That is what a session is rather than a failure of one, and we would rather say it than have you find it.
Three zones, a resident Zen Expert, nothing to book.
A real, built room inside the office you already have: a converted meeting room, a spare section of floor, a corner that is not currently earning its keep. Zariyaa designs it, builds it, and then runs it.
Balance
A visitor arrives carrying the charge of the working day. Sound, breath and touch discharge it first, because nothing after this works while the body is still braced.
Blossom
Once the body has settled, the mind can name what it is carrying and set some of it down. An emotion wheel, journaling, mirror work.
Bliss
No prompts, no guidance, nothing required. Grounding underfoot, live planting, stillness. The zone nobody uses in week one, and the one people say they cannot do without by month two.
The room alone is not enough
A well-designed room with nobody in it becomes a lounge, and then it becomes storage. A resident Zen Expert is present every working day, the same person, with the door open all day. Each Zen Expert completes Zariyaa’s internal Zen Training Programme, including supervised practice, before facilitating independently.
They report to Zariyaa and not to your HR team, which is the part to defend rather than apologise for. It is the reason somebody walks in unannounced on the worst afternoon of their quarter. If you ask us to have them flag struggling employees to you, we will say no, and that refusal is worth more to you than the flag would be.
The room 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, to respond supportively, and to direct them to appropriate professional support and emergency services.
Counted in the room, never surveyed
The Zen Expert records each visit as it happens: which zone, and whether the visitor is new or returning. No logins, and no badge scans. We record the visit and we do take a name and a contact number, because without one there is no count at all and no way to tell a first visit from a fifth. Those details stay with Zariyaa under its privacy policy. What reaches you is counts by zone, and nothing that says who came.
Answer that one before it is asked of you, because it is the question your legal team will put first. If they, or you, later ask us to attribute visits to a person or a team, we will decline, and the refusal is in the contract. The moment a visit can be traced back to somebody, the walking-in stops and there is nothing left to measure.
A visit is a single entry into the room, recorded regardless of duration. Somebody returning later the same day is a second visit; moving between zones in one sitting is one visit. Those are the definitions behind every figure on this page.
Four commitments. Every one is about us.
Not one of these is a promise about how your people will behave. Nobody can honestly make that promise, and if you carry one into a meeting it is the thing you get held to later. These four you can quote as they stand.
The obligation sits on Zariyaa, and it is checked against our own attendance record, not against yours.
What is counted, who receives it and how the privacy boundary is kept are stated in writing before launch.
Any service commitment or redesign process is agreed for the specific room, rather than assumed from a website.
Scope, operating model and agreement terms are set out in the proposal for your floor.
Clarity before momentum.The details worth relying on are the details agreed in the proposal and operating plan for your room.
One senior exit costs more than the room.
We are not going to claim the room prevents any particular person from leaving. What we can hand you instead is a weekly record of whether your people use it, which is more than any other line in the wellbeing budget produces.
Finance signs a capital item of this size the way it signs any capital item of this size. That is a step, not a second sale. The person who has to be certain is you, because you are the one who will be asked why in six months, and a count off your own floor is the only thing that answers it.
Commercial terms are set after the floor, scope and operating model are understood. They are confirmed in writing before anything is installed.
What a visit or trial gives youA chance to see the operating room and decide which questions matter for your own office before a commercial conversation.
A room you can stand in, before you decide anything.
The shortest route to knowing whether this belongs on your floor is to stand in a working room and ask the questions that matter to your team.
See a working room
About an hour at Embassy Golf Links Business Park, Bengaluru. No presentation. You walk the three zones, meet the resident Zen Expert, and sit in the room yourself.
Run two days on your own floor
A working room in your own office for two days, with a Zen Expert present. Scope, timing and commercial terms are confirmed in writing before anything is installed.
Decide from your own data
You end holding a usage figure measured on your own floor, using the same definitions we use in a permanent room, with the window and population stated plainly. It is yours whether you go ahead or not.
Nothing on this page will hold up in that meeting the way a count off your own floor will.

Every figure here is ours to stand behind. Each comes from Zariyaa’s own installation and usage records, with the window and the population stated alongside it. Where two of our documents once disagreed on a definition, it has been settled in writing, and the settled version is the one printed here.
