Work is where we accidentally grow up. Nobody tells you that between all the serious business, you'll learn life's best lessons.

These are the stories that shape us. These experiences define how we connect, what we choose and why we think the way we do.
And every moment becomes a story worth sharing.

ESOPs Fables is witty, the illustrations are beautiful, and the lessons reflect today's work culture. Who'd have expected an insurance company to write a children's book, and do such a good job at it?
-Ajit Bhaskar, Thindi Capital
I loved how ESOPs Fables brings out key aspects of workplace culture through engaging stories for children. Great way to bond with my kids while talking about key values for tomorrow. The illustrations are beautiful, they really make the stories pop.
-Priya Sunil, Head of People Success, Plum
When Abhishek told me Plum had written a children's storybook, I was pleasantly surprised because everyone in the family loves stories. I enjoyed the themes because they helped my daughters relate to who I am, both at work and in the house. Huge props to Plum for this initiative.

ESOPs Fables is a clever and inventive take on children's stories, and would make a great gift. As a parent, and as someone who's been working with parents for the last few years, I found this book a refreshing way to talk to my children about my life at work.

Oddities is an initiative by Plum aiming to make insurance and workplace discourse simple, inclusive, and accessible — all while having some fun along the way.
ESOP’s Fables is their fourth initiative, after Humanise (a publication around the workplace), ASMR by Plum (a collection of insurance ASMR videos), and Cards Against Work (a homage to Cards Against Humanity, themed around the workplace).
