Profectus Capital brought its entire senior leadership team together for a high-stakes simulation experience with SimuRise. The goal: strengthen alignment through immersive learning across strategic thinking, accountability, and execution. What followed was a powerful shift from individual brilliance to collective cohesion.
Introduction
Profectus Capital, a rising force in India’s financial services space, has always believed in leading with agility, ownership, and performance. But as the company expanded its footprint, leadership recognized a deeper need, a unified direction at the top.
While each leader excelled in their own vertical, the challenge was in creating shared thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and enterprise-wide decision-making that moved as one. That’s where SimuRise stepped in with an experiential intervention, immersive learning designed to shift behavior, not just understanding.
The simulation? The Quest for King Solomon’s Mines, a flagship business game built to mirror the real-world pressures of modern leadership.
The Approach
The session brought together the full leadership bench, CEO, CFO, CHRO, CMO, and business heads for one shared experience.
Unlike a typical workshop, this wasn’t a sit-back-and-listen format. Each leader was placed in a high-pressure, high-stakes game scenario, where success relied on real-time decisions, sharp communication, agile planning, and cross-team synergy.
The simulation acted like a mirror. It surfaced how each leader shows up under pressure. How they plan. When they ask for help. Whether they default to solo wins or team success.
Through this immersive learning experience, leaders didn’t just learn concepts. They felt their own behaviors in motion. And that’s what made the experience transformative.
Core Learning Takeaways
Ownership & Accountability
Leaders experienced how their own choices—or delays—directly shaped the outcome for their teams. The need for ownership wasn’t theoretical. It played out in real time.
Asking for Help
One of the most surprising shifts was around support-seeking. Leaders admitted they often hesitate to ask for help. But in the simulation, doing so was the difference between progress and paralysis.
“One Profectus” Mindset
Silos cracked. Leaders moved from a departmental lens to a shared mission. The simulation made it clear: success isn’t about function-first thinking, but org-first thinking.
Planning with Agility
Over-planning cost valuable time. Under-planning led to chaos. The sweet spot? Structure with space for real-time recalibration.
Trust & Collaboration
Every major win in the simulation came from aligned communication and mutual trust. Leaders saw how collaboration fuels clarity, and clarity drives results.
The most powerful moment came post-session, when the CEO said:
“What this simulation showed us is exactly what plays out in the company. If we zoom out a little, take a broader view, and act with the organization’s interest first, we will naturally align ourselves for success, individually and collectively.”
Impact
The shift didn’t end with the simulation.
By experiencing this immersive learning led leadership (not talking about it) Profectus’ senior team walked away with tangible self-awareness, shared vocabulary, and a stronger sense of collective identity.
They saw where competition had been creeping in. Where planning broke down. Where assumptions clouded decisions.
And most importantly, how powerful they could be when aligned.
The session became a safe space to air blind spots, challenge patterns, and build forward with clarity. It wasn’t just a leadership training. It was a live rehearsal for how Profectus Capital wants to lead its next phase of growth.
Conclusion
The Quest for King Solomon’s Mines didn’t offer answers. It sparked inquiry. It didn’t teach leadership. It revealed it.
Through this simulation, SimuRise helped Profectus Capital see leadership as a shared responsibility. One that requires active ownership, mutual trust, and a mindset that zooms out beyond personal wins.
This case is proof that experiential immersive learning works, especially at the top. When leadership aligns, everything else follows.
