That he is called on to share these mind-boggling
concepts at large Corporate gatherings so far in over
50 companies to date across the country (he is also a
Tedx Speaker) in order to inspire their participants,
is merely a testimony to both his popularity and his
capabilities. Capabilities? What capabilities do you
ask? The capability to offer unlimited “Seva” – how
is that different from Customer service?
Let’s take a slight diversion - While all business
organizations allude to their Senior most leader or
leaders as “Management” and follow some methods
of planning and executing called “managing”, that
does not automatically result in good Leadership,
higher productivity and greater profi ts. Often, these
are owner-led organizations, that are transitioning
from tightly controlled to professional ways of
dealing with the workforce. These micro and small-
sized outfits could constitute over 60 percent of
the total number of registered companies in India.
There are other organizations which change their
management practices per the latest trends, which
they pick up from larger corporations – more the
trends, faster the number of changes in their methods
and processes. These companies too are evolving
from a small to a medium sized organization. And
there are still other organizations; large ones, that
are regularly overhauling their strategies and
corresponding organizational structures in sync
with “market forces”, sometimes bringing in a spate
of Leadership changes and even exits, in its wake.

There are employees who are always in unhappy
anticipation of the next big thing in some of these

age old Indian approach, comes handy…
I say, Indian approach, and yet the surprising
thing is that the way business is conducted across the
vast range of corporations is in the modern mould,
which is founded on the principles of Management
established by experts such as Fayol and Taylor in the
early 1900s. These methods of management became
popular across the US and Europe and from there,
to other parts of the world, including India. The
education system, a legacy of British colonialism,
seems to the primary reason for this infl uence. So
what’s the Indian approach anyway?
The Indian approach is the approach from
Aryavart (a place where noble reside), from
Bharatvarsh. This approach is not at all complex
and it is part of our DNA – it is a matter of simply
revisiting the values which our family instilled in us,
at a young age. The word most aptly used to describe
this approach is Sanatan viz eternal. Eternal means –
that without starting point and without end. Eternal
automatically implies long lasting, forever. So what
makes it sustainable?
Enlisted are the key differences and the main
features which lend it, the edge of timelessness:
