Haritha,
A simple and common ESD solution for the situation that you have described
would be to use zener diodes as clamps/discharge paths. Generally the main
performance parameter of an ESD structure is the added capacitance that it
contributes to the circuit. Turn on time is also important to understand, in
order to ensure the device can handle(discharge) fast ESD pulses.
Hope this helps.
