Case studies

The work, with the numbers.

Three named engagements. We never publish what isn't documented.

Case 01

PayU

Behaviour change · “Act Like an Owner”
January 2026 · Gurgaon, Bangalore, Mumbai

Multiple acquired companies, one behaviour to land — “Act Like an Owner.” We devised a nukad-natak (“It's Not My Job!”) and performed it where people sit. No conference rooms, no mandatory invites. The message arrived to them.

  • 8 performances across 3 cities
  • 137 employees surveyed · 4.78/5 average rating
  • 85.4% gave 5 stars · 97.1% reported they understood the behaviour
  • 99.3% want to watch more such performances
You should do this for all the PayU behaviours.

Case 02

Marico

DEI · Unconscious Bias
Six-batch programme
Marico floor activation — Day One
Play · Marico floor activation film

Unconscious Bias work past the policy-deck format. Guided Meditation, Story Spine, devised bilingual scenes (Hindi-English) where managers played out moments that don't normally get named. Six batches. From intellectual awareness to lived recognition.

  • 6 batches delivered
  • Bilingual devised scenes (Hindi-English)
Theatre-based Unconscious Bias workshops were an experiential and impactful event that walked the Mariconians through a journey — from unconscious to conscious.

Case 03

InterGlobe Aviation

Applied-theatre workshop · HR / people team
Pre-2019

An applied-theatre engagement with InterGlobe Aviation's people team. Programme details aren't public, but the qualitative shift the HRBP reported is.

The experience was wonderful. One takeaway would be to kill the long-standing beliefs that I had. This was exciting and I would love to do this again.
Ayesha Kanwar · HRBP · InterGlobe Aviation
What our clients say
Theatre-based Unconscious Bias workshops were an experiential and impactful event that walked the Mariconians through a journey — from unconscious to conscious. The energetic and insightful team at Tamasha Entertainment executed these very well.
Urvashi Agarwal · HR, Marico India Limited
Tamasha was responsible for culminating the induction of a new batch of 450 students. The task was to get them motivated and geared up for the coming sessions. All the students went through the improv and applied theatre session — and arrived energised.
Jyotsana Bhatnagar · Dean, Graduate Program, MDI
The team had a wonderful time and they loved working together with you. I cannot tell you what a transformative start you gave to our program. They couldn't stop talking about it after you left.
Murli Sundrani · Business Director, Becton Dickinson India
We gave the team a very difficult problem to solve. We wanted to foster respect, increase empathy, resolve conflicts and increase collaboration. What Tamasha delivered was beyond our expectation.
Sanjay Pai · Regional Sales Director, Avaya
How an engagement runs

Four steps. Two are yours.

We listen first. The proposal comes after.

01

Diagnostic call

30 minutes. We listen for the behaviour, not the topic.

02

Co-design

Two sessions. Your content, our craft.

03

Devised workshop

Delivered by trained actors. 4 hours to 5 days.

04

Transfer plan

Outcomes report + 90-day pulse.

The differentiator

Why theatre. Why us.

Theatre changes behaviour

Slides tell. Theatre shows — and makes the participant do. Role-play and embodied repetition: the modalities L&D research keeps returning to.

Working artists, not facilitators

A working theatre ensemble — Macbeth in Hindi, 25+ films, performances at Akshara, IIC, Stein. The actors in your workshop are the actors on our stage.

Co-design, not catalog

No off-the-shelf modules. Your team owns the topic. We bring the craft that makes it land.

Formats

Drama Teaser (4-hour walkthrough)·Online Interactive (Sessions tailored to need)·Deep Dive (2 full days)·EPIC (5 full days, residential)

Most engagements start with a Drama Teaser, then graduate to a Deep Dive once a sponsor is in place.
