A FEW WORDS FROM GOOD PEOPLE

Good work gets people talking.

IHG, India
“Ankur is amazing with senior leaders; he just reads the room so well. He has changed our perception of leadership development by bringing in laughter and play to the room.”
SB
Sneha Bhardwaj
Head HR & LnD
Google, India
“What blew me away was the feedback we got after the session. The energy, even after the participants left the session, is so electric. He plans sessions like an architect, there’s so much structure to it, which makes it what it is.”
DD
Dinkar Devgan
HR Leader
Athena Education, India
“ had seen in the US the impact Improv has, so I was desperate to find someone in India, and Ankur has been that someone. We’ve been running these sessions for more than a year now. Improv is a part of our employee toolkit. Everyone loves it, it’s our cultural thing.”

Review 2 of 7. Dinkar Devgan. What blew me away was the feedback we got after the session. The energy, even after the participants left the session, is so electric. He plans sessions like an architect, there’s so much structure to it, which makes it what it is.

Headline and sticker cluster stack one on top of the other, centered, just like the mobile version and the itsnotviolent.com reference — not split into two side-by-side columns. Everything just gets bigger on desktop: larger type, wider sticker spread. Same tap-to-reveal behaviour as mobile.

60–90s "what is Yes & Play" reel

On mobile these stack (band, then video below). On desktop there's room to run them side-by-side as one credibility row — logos scroll continuously on the left, the explainer reel sits fixed on the right so it doesn't feel like an afterthought.

Founder's note

→

Team grid becomes a true 3-up row instead of a horizontal scroll — desktop has room to show everyone without swiping. Founder (Rahul Subramaniam) strip stays visually distinct below it, same as mobile.

Same three tagged cards as mobile, laid out as a row instead of a vertical stack — no new content, just a wider grid.

Diagrams get real horizontal room here — worth expanding each into the fuller flowchart detail from your sketch (Custom Workshops → Behavioural/Solving → Unlock/Change/Possibility) since desktop can handle more visual density than mobile can.
