Put The Player First is a solo serious games practice run by Arvindh Sundar. Since 2019, Arvindh has designed and facilitated leadership games for teams at Coromandel, Lowe's, Novo Nordisk, Citrix, Akamai, Walmart, Bosch, and others.
Every session is facilitated personally. No licensing. No associate delivery. You work directly with the designer.
