Why Indian Workplaces Need a New Engagement Strategy
Ajay, an HR manager at a fast growing tech company in Bengaluru, had reached a point of frustration. Every month he planned something “fun” for his team lunches, virtual workshops, trivia nights, motivational sessions but nothing seemed to work.
Engagement scores were dipping, employees looked exhausted, and the familiar complaint kept returning: “These activites don’t feel exciting anymore.”
During one particularly low energy team meeting, Ajay noticed a group laughing over a quick FIFA match on someone’s personal PlayStation. That moment sparked an idea: What if console gaming could help his stressed, disengaged office reconnect in a more natural, modern way?
Why Gaming Works (Not Just for Fun)
Gaming isn’t just entertainment anymore, it’s a proven engagement booster. A study by Brigham Young University showed that newly formed teams who played video games for just 45 minutes became 20% more productive on their next task, outperforming teams that did traditional team building exercises.
Atlassian highlights that video games improve teamwork because they mirror real world collaboration shared goals, resource management, quick decision making, and healthy competition.
And SHRM points out that playfulness in workplaces reduces burnout and increases creativity, something Indian companies need more than ever.
How Console Gaming Solves Real Corporate Problems
Ajay’s team wasn’t disengaged because they didn’t appreciate his efforts, they were disengaged because everything felt predictable. Console gaming changed that instantly. Renting PS5 consoles and Xbox setups created an environment where employees actually wanted to participate. People from different departments began teaming up, cheering each other on, and sharing genuine moments of fun. It wasn’t forced, it was natural.
Short bursts of play acted like mental resets, making employees return to work more relaxed and refreshed. And because console rental is affordable, Ajay didn’t have to stretch his HR budget. He could rent PS5s, Xbox consoles, and multiplayer games only when needed instead of buying them.
