'Indian Ethos in Management' refers to the values and practices that the culture of India (Bharatheeya Samskriti) can contribute to service, leadership and management. These values and practices are rooted in Sanathana Dharma (the eternal essence), and have been influenced by various strands of Indian philosophy.

Work Values from Bharatheeya Samskriti

1. Paropakaaraartham Idam Shareeram - The body is meant for serving others or for the higher common good.

2. Atmanomokshartham Jagat Hitayacha - Endeavors should be made considering the well-being of the world too, while considering the (spiritual) well-being of oneself.

3. Trikaranasuddhi - To consider work as a means to grow oneself in 'Purity and Unity of Thought, Word and Deed'.[1]

4. Yagnaya charatha: karma - To engage in work as a sacred offering[2][3]

5.

Examples of Practice

A number of examples indicating the practice has been documented.[4][5][6]

Popularisation

Academicians and practitioners such as Prof S K Chakraborty,[7] Jack Hawley,[8] Debra and William Miller,[9] Devdutt Pattanaik[10] etc. have contributed to the evolution and popularisation of this domain. Stephen Covey has detailed the application of Gandhian values in leadership, through his book 'Principle Centered Leadership'.[11]

Prevalence

This theme is embedded in varying levels as part of programmes in business management offered by various business schools and universities.[12][13][14][15]
