“Success doesn’t come overnight—it’s built through consistency, integrity, and an unwavering focus on your ‘why.’”
Abhimanyu Khanna is the founder and driving force behind TAB, a teambuilding and people engagement company he started in May 2008. Over the last 17 years, TAB has grown into a specialist in bespoke engagement programs that help organisations strengthen teams, surface hidden skills, and create lasting behavioural change.
Over the years, TAB has refined practical models for live and virtual engagement, delivering high-energy workshops, leadership sprints, and behaviour-first interventions that leave teams better equipped to do their work.
The approach is simple and founder-led. Every program starts with a clear objective. Abhimanyu says,
“Our activities help to strengthen relationships and deepen the understanding of individual skill sets. You can count on us to deliver a fun, memorable event virtually or in person with great team engagement and lasting results.”
Abhimanyu founded TAB after four years in quality and training at Aegis BPO. He started the business to bring a different kind of corporate training to market, one rooted in real experience, not theory. Detail-oriented and relentlessly pragmatic, he designs programs that teach leadership, teamwork, and change management. Today, TAB has grown on the strength of referrals and repeat business rather than salesmanship.
Finding Inspiration
While climbing the BPO ladder, Abhimanyu realised something important was missing—work that mattered beyond the paycheck. He wanted to build teams, spark connections, and design workplace experiences that actually changed behaviour. He says,
“That desire led me to start TAB Consulting, which began as a small initiative driven by curiosity and has today evolved into one of India’s leading Employee Engagement and Teambuilding companies. What makes TAB special is that it allows me to live my passion every single day—designing programs that bring teams closer, foster trust, and create lasting impact—and the best part is, I get paid for doing what I love.”
Today, for Abhimanyu, the work still feels the same. His work is hands-on, people-first, and outcome-driven, and the best part is that he gets paid to do what he loves, like create moments that bring teams closer and leave a lasting impact.
What sets TAB Consulting apart is its service. The team obsesses over execution and outcomes, so clients become their marketing—over 90% of their work comes from repeat business and referrals, which means they earn trust every time they deliver.
TAB doesn’t sell off-the-shelf solutions. Every programme is bespoke, measurable, and led by people who have actually done the work with teams on the ground.
The Journey
Abhimanyu faced several challenges while building TAB Consulting. Leaving a stable corporate job to prove that experiential learning could drive real business results was the first big leap. With limited resources and no prior business experience, he had to learn everything hands-on, from operations and finance to client management and team building. Establishing credibility in a market dominated by larger players and convincing clients to invest in bespoke team programmes instead of cheaper, off-the-shelf options took time.
“Another major challenge was sustaining consistency over the years—ensuring that every project, regardless of scale, reflected the same passion and excellence. I overcame this by building a strong internal culture of ownership and continuous learning, where every team member treats the client’s event as their own. However, these challenges shaped TAB Consulting into the trusted brand it is today.”
Even though the journey has been long, Abhimanyu is proud of how far he has come. He asserts,
“For me, the success of TAB Consulting is defined not by numbers but by the trust and loyalty of our clients.”
Today, TAB is a recognised name in employee engagement. His major achievements include building a business where over 90% of work comes from repeat clients and referrals, developing repeatable, measurable programmes that work across industries and formats, and mastering seamless switching between in-person and virtual delivery.
He also created systems that let creativity scale without sacrificing quality, and turned a passion for people into a sustainable business that measurably improves how teams work.
The Next Chapter
Abhimanyu plans to scale TAB’s impact while staying rooted in passion and service excellence. He aims to expand across India and into international markets, introduce more innovative experiential formats, and use technology to make programmes more interactive and measurable.
Within the next few years, he also wants to strengthen client relationships and the company’s internal culture so every delivery retains TAB’s personal touch. His focus is to keep evolving, keep learning, and keep delivering experiences that inspire teams and transform workplaces.
With a head full of dreams for the future, Abhimanyu shares one of the biggest lessons he has learned that passion and persistence ultimately pay off. He believes that challenges are inevitable but prioritising clients and delivering real value makes growth a natural outcome, as both clients and team members are the greatest assets in a company that need deliberate nurturing.
He signs off with some advice to entrepreneurs,
“Don’t chase money, but chase excellence. When you put your heart into delivering value and keep improving yourself every day, success will inevitably follow.”
