• Your quality of life is determined by how you feel.
• How you feel is determined by the choices you make.
• If you wish to feel fulfilled, purposeful and peaceful, you need to make the right choices.
• To make the right choices, there are two prerequisites:
• 1. You must be deeply connected with yourself
• 2. You must have a personal, customized system that helps you make the right choices.
• What's the problem?
• The problem is that the world is noisy and distracting, so you might live your life looking outward most of the time rather than looking inward.
• This is not your fault. It is mostly because the world today is scientifically designed and well funded to keep your attention outside, so it can be turned into money.
• Because your attention is mostly outside, you are unable to create a deep connection with yourself (1st prerequisite above).
• Because you lack a connection with yourself, you cannot create a personal, customized system that helps you make the right choices (2nd prerequisite above). If you don't know yourself deeply, how will you create this?
• Due to this, you lack internal clarity.
• So you make choices that seem exciting in the short run but are not right for you in the long run.
• You choose a wrong partner.
• You say or do things you shouldn't do in a relationship.
• You choose the wrong work, or the wrong work environment.
• Wrong choices lead to stress, anxiety and more restlessness.
• The solution is a regular habit of Contemplation - deep thinking.
• Contemplation helps you create a deep connection with yourself (1st prereq).
• Contemplation on the principles we have created helps you create your personal system of making the right choices (2nd prereq).
• Our Contemplation framework is called ADIOS - A Dialogue In Objective Silence.
• It is a dialogue that you have with yourself, objectively, in silence. It is a conversation between two people - You and Yourself.
• A regular conversation with yourself keeps you calm.
• Start the conversation.
• We can help.

• With life becoming busy, sometimes we miss out on doing things that make us truly happy. ONE is a non-judgmental environment to enable you to pursue what you love - music, dance, theatre, writing, etc - because it nurtures your soul. The idea is to do what you love, because you love it, without worrying about how good you are or what others might say.

• We specialise in designing, structuring and implementing ESOP Schemes.
• We have been working with companies, listed and unlisted, start-ups, mid-sized and large industrial houses, across all sectors - aviation, media, telecom, pharma, banking, CRO, engineering, construction, manufacturing, IT, ITES, FMCG - helping them design, structure and implement their ESOP Schemes.
• Contrary to what a lot of people believe, designing an ESOP Scheme is a fairly comprehensive exercise where you thoroughly answer questions like - who should get, why should they get, how much, over what period, what terms and conditions, should the conditions be different for different employee groups, how much equity should I dilute, what if the IPO does not happen, what if the markets go down, is there a magic in the 5% equity dilution that everyone seems to talk about, etc.
• It is not just an ESOP Scheme. It is a system by which you are trying to make your team see, feel and behave the way you do it for your organisation. You are trying to create mini-entrepreneurs. You can't do such a thing in a hurry or, as some people suggest - "just copy and paste some other company's esop scheme". It is your company. They are your people. The Scheme needs to fit your company, your people, and that's what matters!
• Specialties: Conceptualising, designing, impementation of ESOP Schemes. Especially, communicating to the people / recipients, the philosophy and motive behind such an exercise to ensure that they fully appreciate the objective and are able to align their goals with those of the organisation.
