Your Employees Learn Best by Doing — Not by Watching
Think about the last compliance video your team sat through. Chances are, within a week, most of what they watched had faded. That is not a people problem — it is a training design problem. Traditional eLearning puts learners in a passive seat. Simulation-based training puts them in the driver's seat.
When a learner has to make a decision — choose the wrong path and see a consequence, or choose the right one and advance — their brain encodes that experience far more deeply than a slide ever could. Research consistently shows that digital simulation training ranks as the most effective training format, with a 100% success rate in improving on-the-job performance (ScienceDirect). Without active reinforcement, employees forget up to 80% of training content within a month. Simulations close that gap.
IKHYA builds two formats that consistently outperform all others: branching scenario / decision-tree simulations — where every choice leads to a different outcome — and gamified learning experiences that turn compliance and skills training into something people actually want to complete.
Built on Learning Science
Every simulation is designed using proven adult learning principles — spaced repetition, immediate feedback, and consequence-driven decision trees that anchor knowledge in memory.
Mapped to Real Job Scenarios
We conduct scenario discovery workshops with your SMEs to ensure every branching path, character, and consequence reflects situations your workforce actually faces — not generic examples.
xAPI & SCORM Analytics Built In
Track which decisions learners make, where they fail, and how many attempts it takes to master each scenario — giving L&D teams data they can actually use to improve training.
Delivered in 40+ Languages
Simulation scenarios localized with native voiceovers, culturally adapted characters, and region-specific compliance references — so every learner feels the scenario is built for them.
Two Formats. One Goal: Decisions That Stick.
We focus on the two simulation formats proven to drive the deepest learning outcomes — and we build them better than anyone else.Simulation Training That Fits Your Industry
Simulation training is not one-size-fits-all. We tailor every scenario, every character, and every decision to the stakes your industry actually faces.Corporate L&D & HR
From onboarding decision trees to manager dilemma scenarios, we help L&D teams replace generic slide-decks with experiences that shift real behaviour.
Common scenarios: harassment response, performance conversations, diversity & inclusion judgementsHealthcare & Clinical
Train clinical staff on patient assessment, triage decisions, infection control, and medication administration in a zero-risk digital environment before real-world application.
Common scenarios: diagnostic pathways, emergency response, HIPAA compliance, safeguarding decisionsOil, Gas & Energy
Permit-to-work decisions, hazardous substance handling, emergency shut-down procedures — simulations that prepare crews for high-stakes moments without putting anyone in danger.
Common scenarios: LOTO, confined space entry, spill response, H₂S safety protocolsGovernment & Defence
Classified-level or public-sector simulations that meet accessibility standards, security protocols, and procurement requirements — with branching scenarios built to reflect operational realities.
Common scenarios: crisis decision-making, operational procedures, code of conduct, data handlingFinancial Services & Compliance
Replace dry regulatory e-learning with scenario simulations where employees navigate real compliance grey areas — bribery risks, AML red flags, insider trading decisions — and feel the consequences of getting it wrong.
Common scenarios: KYC decisions, whistleblowing, conflict of interest, sanctions screeningNot Seeing Your Industry?

Every Simulation Deliverable, Done In-House
No subcontractors. No offshore hand-offs. Every script, every branch, every animation — built and reviewed by our in-house team from brief to final delivery.Branching Scenario Simulations
Multi-path story-driven scenarios built in Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate — with realistic characters, voiced dialogue, and consequence-driven feedback loops.
Learn MoreGamified Training Modules
Points systems, leaderboards, progress bars, timed challenges, badge unlocks — designed to convert mandatory compliance training into something learners actually complete willingly.
Learn MoreScenario Scripting & Storyboarding
Our instructional designers run discovery sessions with your subject matter experts to extract real decisions, write authentic dialogue, and map every branch before a single slide is built.
Learn MoreVoiceover & Character Animation
Professional native-language voiceovers combined with custom illustrated characters — so scenarios feel authentic to your brand, your industry, and your learner's world.
Learn MoreMobile-Ready Simulation Packaging
Every simulation is published as SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, or xAPI — fully responsive and tested on iOS, Android, desktop, and all major LMS platforms before handover.
Learn MoreMultilingual Simulation Localisation
Scenario narratives, character dialogue, on-screen labels, and audio tracks adapted for 40+ languages — with cultural sensitivity reviews for every localized version.
Learn MoreFrom Training Challenge to Live Simulation in 6 Steps
We do not just hand you a template. We run a proper discovery process, build every branch by hand, and only go live when the simulation truly reflects your workplace.Discovery & Scenario Workshop
We interview your subject matter experts, identify the real decisions your learners face, and map out the consequences that matter most — before writing a single word of script.
Script & Branch Map
Our instructional designers write the scenario dialogue, decision options, and consequence text — then build a full branch map for your approval before any development begins.
Storyboard & Visual Design
Every screen is storyboarded with character visuals, scene settings, and UI layout. You review and sign off before we move to development — no surprises at alpha stage.
Development & Animation
Built in Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, or your preferred authoring tool. Voiceovers recorded, characters animated, branching logic programmed and tested internally.
Review Rounds (Alpha → Gold)
Structured feedback cycles at alpha, beta, and gold stages — with tracked changes, clear revision notes, and a single dedicated project manager coordinating every comment.
LMS Publishing & Handover
Final SCORM or xAPI package tested on your LMS, with a full technical handover document, source files, and post-launch support if any issues arise after deployment.
Typical delivery: 6–10 weeks for a branching scenario simulation. Rapid turnaround available for simpler gamified modules. Get a scoped estimate →
What Makes an IKHYA Simulation Different
Not all simulation training is created equal. Here is what separates a genuine learning experience from a rebranded quiz.Scenario-First Methodology
We design the learning experience around the decision, not around the content. That means learners face the situation first and discover the knowledge they need — not the other way around.
Fast Without Cutting Corners
Rapid simulation development options available in Articulate Rise and iSpring for teams that need quality gamified training delivered in 2–3 weeks without sacrificing instructional integrity.
Structured Review Cycles
You get alpha, beta, and gold review stages — with clear feedback tracking and a single dedicated project manager. You will never wonder where your project stands or who to call.
Integrates With Your LMS
SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and xAPI packages tested and delivered LMS-ready — compatible with Cornerstone, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Docebo, Moodle, Canvas, and 20+ other platforms.
What Happens When Simulation Replaces Slide-and-Click
The results speak louder than any methodology. Here is what our clients see when they switch from passive eLearning to scenario-driven simulation training.40% Drop in Near-Miss Incidents After Replacing Safety Videos with LOTO Simulation
