In light of rapid industrialization, Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) has emerged as a pivotal practice. However, the subject is still largely perceived to be technical and falls under the ambit of the EHS teams. Responding to this, Vikaki Enterprises emerges as a prominent safety management, education, and consultancy provider. The enterprise stands out with its creative approach and innovative solutions, offering gamified safety training, animation, EHS software, manpower, and scaffolding services.
“Since 2022, we've achieved a fivefold increase in revenues annually, secured partnerships with esteemed clients, including industry leaders such as Reckitt Benckiser, Adani Cement, Godrej Consumer Products, Cairn Oil & Gas and L&T, spanning over 25 to 30 prestigious organizations, and remain steadfast in our commitment to simplify EHS for the masses using creativity”, says Sunit Lohiya, Co-founder.
Unique Pedagogy
Vikaki was founded with the core idea of making EHS education fun and exciting. To that extent, the company launched their own unique pedagogy, known as Activity Based Coaching (ABC) with the aim to demystify safety as a technical subject. Activity Based Coaching utilizes teaching aids such as board games & jigsaw puzzles, quizzes, technology, group activities, 3D models, prototypes, and live demonstrations to make EHS training engaging and interactive. This creates a fun learning environment that encourages knowledge absorption and long-term retention, with Vikaki’s training proving to be three times more engaging than traditional safety training methods.
This creative approach is also mirrored in their other services – whether it’s about designing a Bollywood-inspired safety induction animation or launching a training management and reporting solution with industry-first features. Vikaki offers crafting compelling films with the use of storytelling and myriad styles such as 2D and 3D animations, illustrations, whiteboarding, and motion graphics to enhance safety awareness.
“By integrating creativity, gamification, and technology, we strive to transform the perception of EHS education. Whether through developing captivating animations, conducting innovative EHS drives, or delivering gamified training sessions, the aim is to simplify safety concepts for the everyday employee and communicate the same effectively”, adds Sunit.
Changing the Safety Narrative with Creativity & AI
Vikaki utilizes creativity and technology to transform safety education into an engaging and dynamic experience. Their focus is on shifting the narrative around safety from mere compliance to a vital necessity. Notably, they are one of the few companies to design board games dedicated to safety.
“Our clients often struggle with establishing a safety culture that involves all employee groups, including leadership, and increasing employee interest towards safety. Through our end-to-end consulting, manpower and training services, our objective is drive innovation and generate conversations around industrial safety. Our unique problem-solving approach, commitment to making a meaningful impact, deep domain expertise, and core values of integrity, genuineness, and honesty set us apart. These values drive us to maximize value for all stakeholders, including clients and service partners”, shares Sunit.
Conclusively, Vikaki Enterprises aim to become a leading boutique consulting firm providing comprehensive EHS services. AI's role in enhancing real-time on-the-job monitoring for safety adherence and predictive analytics has already started making waves. They are preparing to adapt by evolving their digital offerings, such as the Training Management and Reporting Solution, to harness AI's capabilities. Their long-term vision includes developing all-in-one EHS software with AI at its core. Their focus is to continue enhancing workplace safety through creativity and enabling gamification at scale using technology.
