Experiential learning · India

Learning that sticks

because it hurts a little.

Last updated 24 September 2026

Tryitowl is the experiential learning company of Tryitowl LLP, based in Bengaluru and working with enterprise learning and development teams across India. A session puts a cohort inside a business situation — a simulation, a management game, or a facilitated exercise — where people make decisions under time pressure, then sit in a structured debrief that connects those decisions to the behaviour the organisation wants at work. Programmes cover business simulations, leadership and soft-skills training, competency assessments, PoSH and information-security learning, gamified onboarding, and team experiences delivered with Teamification. Delivery is in person at the client's location, virtual, or blended, and is not limited to Bengaluru. To enquire, use the contact form or the phone number on that page; Tryitowl replies within one working day. The simulation catalogue is at tryitowl.com/simulations, and the live platform is simulations.tryitowl.com.

Our approach

Experiences, not workshops.

Every Tryitowl programme puts participants in the middle of a situation — a crisis, a negotiation, a resource crunch. The learning emerges from how they respond.

1. Behaviour

Learning anchored in real actions observed in the room. Not intentions. Not self-report. What people actually do when the pressure is on.

2. Iteration

Multiple attempts, feedback, adjustment — the way real performance improves. One shot at a case study is not practice. It's performance.

3. Debrief

Facilitated conversation that turns experience into insight. The debrief is where the learning happens. The simulation is just the evidence.

4. Rigour

Every element serves a learning outcome. Nothing is filler. If it doesn't change something, it doesn't belong in the programme.

“Standard team-building is forgettable.
We design for specific cohorts, role
profiles, and strategic gaps.”
— Rupert Picardo, Founder, Tryitowl

Programmes

  • Managers and team leads who need to improve how they communicate

PoSH Training

“Compliance that produces understanding, not just a completion record.”

Who it's for

  • Organisations meeting the POSH Act mandate
  • HR teams wanting training that changes behaviour, not just documentation
  • IC members who need to understand their responsibilities clearly

Activities included: Scenario Simulations · ICC Role Clarity · Policy Walkthrough

Business simulations

Management games that change how people think.

Not role play. Not case studies. Actual decision-making under real pressure — with consequences.

Resource Paradox

Every team thinks they're being underfunded. Then they see everyone else's budget.

90–120 min · Digital or In-Person

Prioritisation · Resource negotiation · Cross-functional trade-offs

Teams are given a budget, a mandate, and a set of competing demands. Every decision affects another team's outcomes. The debrief reveals how quickly people optimise for their own targets at the expense of the whole. Built for senior leaders and high-potential cohorts.

What clients say

The experience is the evidence.

“We've run other simulation-based programmes and the debrief is usually the weakest part. With Tryitowl it was the opposite — the debrief was where the real work happened. We walked out with specific things to change, not just a shared experience to refer back to.”
— AVP, Learning & Development, top 5 global management consulting firm, BangaloreLeadership Development Programme
“Our previous PoSH training was a slide deck and a signature. After the Tryitowl session, managers were asking us questions about the grey-area scenarios — the ones where they genuinely weren't sure what to do. That's the first time PoSH training had actually made people think.”
— Head of HR, healthcare technology company, MumbaiPoSH Training
“We needed something for a 200-person all-hands that wouldn't feel like a school activity. The Virtual Escape format worked because people were genuinely trying to solve it — you could see it in the chat. Two weeks later people were still talking about the island scenario.”
— L&D Manager, ITES company, HyderabadVirtual Escapes
