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.
Look first. Talk to us only if you want to. The film runs two minutes and was shot in a working room, and the six stops below cover the same ground if you would rather read.
Walk the room, stop by stop.
It is on your floor, not in a wellness centre.
A door your people already walk past. Nothing to book, no sign-in, nobody asking why they are there.
Why it mattersEvery step between a tired person and a quiet room is a step where most of them turn back. This one is ten steps.
The body settles first, or nothing after it works.
Sound and breath. Someone arriving off four hours of calls is still braced, and you cannot reach anyone in that state.
In this zoneSinging bowls and gong, guided breathwork, and touch worked by hand.
Naming it is most of the work.
A wooden emotion wheel, a journal nobody else reads, a mirror.
Six months inThis is the zone people are most sceptical about in week one and describe most precisely six months later.
Nothing is asked of you here at all.
A textured path walked barefoot, live planting, somewhere to stop.
By month twoAlmost nobody uses this zone in week one. By month two it is the one people say they cannot do without.
Every working day, and they do not report to you.
A resident Zen Expert is in the room every working day, the same person, on Zariyaa’s own staff. Every Zen Expert is a certified therapist and holds a postgraduate qualification in Psychology, and completes Zariyaa’s internal Zen Training Programme, including supervised practice, before facilitating independently. They report to Zariyaa, never to your HR.
Why the reporting line mattersIt is the first thing we would refuse to trade away, because it is the reason people walk in unannounced.
Every visit counted. Your employer never learns who.
Which zone, how long, first time or returning. No badge scans and no logins. The Zen Expert does take a name and a contact number in the room, because that is how the count and the returning-visitor figure are made at all. It stays with Zariyaa. Your employer receives counts by zone and nothing that identifies a person.
Where that number goesThe Zen Expert keeps the count, in the room. It reaches you every Friday.
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 your worst quarter. An app needs opening on the day it is least likely to be opened. An assistance line needs a phone call from someone with nothing left to make it with.
Each one asks for a decision at the moment of least energy. So they get budgeted, and then they go unused, and the meditation corner becomes where the spare chairs live.
Take the friction away and usage stops being a motivation problem.
That is why this is recovery infrastructure rather than a campaign. It gets budgeted the way the cafeteria is, and it 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. Only that every line above took the same route, that none of them looked 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.
Zone 02 · the middle
Blossom
An emotion wheel, journaling, mirror work. Naming what you are carrying.
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 one chosen for what it does to a nervous system, not for how it photographs. No branding on the door.
A well-designed room with nobody in it becomes a lounge, then storage. A resident Zen Expert is present every working day and reports to Zariyaa, not to your HR department. That reporting line is why people walk in without explaining themselves. Every Zen Expert is a certified therapist and holds a postgraduate qualification in Psychology, and completes Zariyaa’s internal Zen Training Programme, including supervised practice, before facilitating independently.
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 on their own, or they do not.
- What you hold at the end
- A usage figure from your floor and your people, on the same definitions we use in a permanent room. 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.

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 and no logins. The Zen Expert does take a name and a contact number in the room, because without one there is no count and no way to tell a first visit from a fifth. Those details stay with Zariyaa. What reaches you is counts by zone, and nothing that identifies a person.
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.
Three things we will refuse, including one you may ask for
We will not tell you which of your employees used the room.
CHRO · LEGALThere are no logins and no badge scans. We do take a name in the room, and it never reaches you. If you ask us to flag someone who seems to be struggling, we will say no, and you should read that as the reason the room works.
We will not quote you a retention figure.
CHROWe do not have one that is a log rather than a guess. What we hand you instead is a weekly record of whether your people walk in, measured on your own floor.
We will not send you a report only in the weeks the number is good.
CHROIt goes out every Friday, unasked, rising or not. If the room underperforms by week six, it is redesigned at Zariyaa’s cost.
We sold the things that go unused, first.
Zariyaa Happy Wellbeing Pvt Ltd has been running yoga days, health workshops, a wellness festival and employee assistance programmes inside offices in Bengaluru for years. That work is good and it still runs.
But it ends when it ends. That is not a failure of the session, it is what a session is.
Friday afternoon everybody is loose and calm. Tuesday the same person is braced at their desk again, and the next session is five weeks away. Several of the companies with a room met us at a yoga day first.
Zen Garden is what we built after admitting it. Same idea, permanent, and the first version of any of this that produces a number you can check. The Recovery Standard, our published measurement standard, sets out 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 leadership brief asks nothing of you at all.
Thank you, that’s with us.
We'll come back to you about your office.
