How our partnership works
We start by listening. Then we build something that lasts.
Every step is a natural next one. You decide how far to go, and when.
- Understand
A conversation with you
Who your people are, what they’re carrying, and what you’ve already tried. No pitch and no workshop menu, just listening.
You get: a clear proposal for a first step.
- Build on it
A pilot, then a short series
One interactive event, designed for your team, to see how your people respond. If it lands, a few connected events on one theme so people come back and go deeper.
You get: private feedback from attendees, and a summary of how it landed.
- Make it normal
Circles at work
Small groups that meet regularly around a shared experience, like new parents, pet parents or new joiners, facilitated by KTW. Talking stops being a one-off and becomes part of how your team works.
You get: one-on-one counselling for anyone who wants more than a group.
- Make it last
An ongoing partnership
A plan for the year: events, Circles, manager sessions, wellness champions and one-on-one counselling, shaped around what your people asked for.
You get: regular reviews with KTW on what’s working and what to change.
Pricing depends on what we build together. You’ll get a clear proposal after our first conversation.
How you’ll know it’s working
See how every event lands.
After each event, everyone who attended gets a short, private feedback form. You get a summary like this one, so you can see what’s working and decide together what comes next.
No names, no quotes, nothing anyone said in the room.
Inside our events
What it looks like when people actually talk
No stage, no slides. Small groups, real conversations and a facilitator in the room.
Photos of people are shown only with their consent, and for organisation events with the organisation’s approval too.
Where we’ve been
Workplaces and communities since 2024
Workplace event, June 2024
Workplace event
With vets and pet stores
I didn’t expect our team to open up like that in the first hour. People were still talking about it the next week.
Find your starting point
Start with your people, not a workshop menu.
Tell us who you’d like to support and what’s going on. We’ll suggest where a partnership could begin, and how it keeps going after the first event.
Questions HR teams ask us
Good to know
Something else on your mind? Ask us on WhatsApp or in the form below.
Is this therapy?
No. Events and Circles are facilitated spaces to talk and reflect. Counselling is separate and private, with qualified experts, for anyone who wants it.
Will we see who said what?
No. What’s said in the room stays there.
Can only our staff join?
Yes. Your event gets a private page. Staff sign up with their work email or a list you share, and outsiders can’t register.
Online or in person?
Both. We’re based in Bengaluru and have run programmes in Hyderabad. Online works anywhere.
What does it cost?
It depends on what we build: the formats, the number of people and how long we work together. You’ll get a clear proposal after the first conversation.
What if someone is in crisis?
KTW is not an emergency service. We point people to Tele-MANAS (14416, free, 24×7) or 112, and to qualified clinicians.
