Corporate Chanakya - Refined Indian Wisdom


Chanakya was an important figure in the annals of Indian history. He was the adviser to the Mauryan Emperor Chandragupta Maurya, considered the chief architect in setting the administrative and political framework of the ancient India. Chanakya was scholarly figure and was an expert at politics and economics. By profession, he was a teacher in the famous Indian university of Taksasila. In the west, he is known by the name “Indian Machiavelli”. However, Machiavelli came into picture in Europe only 1,800 yrs after Chanakya demise.

According to historians, Chanakya composed 6000hyms, concerning administration and politics. This book written by Radhakrishnan Pillai is refined work moulded to fit the present scenarios of the corporate world. The author in his opinion terms the knowledge on administration to be universal and Chanakya’s value system could be understood and adopted by anyone in the world. Jaico publishing has helped the author publish his work on the Chanakya aphorisms in a book rightly called as “Corporate Chanakya”.
