PREFACE
It gives us immense pride and satisfaction to present this compiled volume of research papers, developed by the students of PGDM Batch 24-26 as part of their academic inquiry into Indian ethos and its relevance to contemporary management and organizational practices.
The papers included in this publication reflect rigorous qualitative research, conceptual clarity, and thoughtful interpretation of classical Indian texts such as the Arthashastra, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Vedas, and Thirukkural through the lens of modern disciplines including leadership, governance, branding, finance, human resources, marketing, tourism, and strategic management.
From exploring the timeless ethical wisdom of Thiruvalluvar in Relevance of Thirukkural in the Modern World, to reinterpreting Chanakya’s persuasion frameworks in Decoding Chanakya’s Persuasion Principles, and examining corporate strategy through ancient statecraft in Resource Allocation and Economic Sustainability: Kautilya’s Saptanga Model Applied to Modern Corporate Strategy, each contribution demonstrates how ancient knowledge systems continue to illuminate present-day challenges.
The diversity of themes-ranging from guerrilla agility inspired by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, to cross-cultural collaboration modeled on the Ram Setu; from personal branding lessons rooted in the Arthashastra, to cultural brand positioning through the Pandavas-illustrates the depth and adaptability of Indian philosophical thought.
What is particularly commendable is that these papers do not treat ancient texts as mythological narratives alone, but as living frameworks capable of guiding ethical leadership, sustainable growth, emotional intelligence, governance structures, and stakeholder-centric strategies in the modern world.
This publication stands as a testimony to:
• The intellectual curiosity of our students
• The dedicated mentorship of our faculty
• The institute’s commitment to integrating Indian Knowledge Systems with contemporary management education
We hope this compilation inspires readers—academicians, practitioners, and students alike— to rediscover indigenous wisdom not as nostalgia, but as strategic insight for the future.
