The present volume, Sanskriti to Strategy: The Journey of Management Skills Through Ages, is an earnest academic endeavor to bridge the timeless wisdom of Indian civilization with the evolving demands of contemporary management thought. Management, as practiced today, is often viewed through a predominantly Western lens; however, Indian philosophical traditions, scriptures, and epics have long articulated profound insights into leadership, governance, ethics, decision-making, and human resource management. This book seeks to rediscover and reinterpret those indigenous perspectives, demonstrating their relevance in modern organizational contexts. By drawing from Vedic literature, classical texts like the Arthashastra, and epics such as the Mahabharata, the contributors offer a culturally rooted yet globally applicable framework of management principles. The chapters collectively explore how ancient Indian values can inform strategic thinking, leadership development, and sustainable organizational practices in the twenty-first century. This edited volume brings together scholarly contributions from academicians and researchers who have critically examined the continuity and evolution of management ideas from ancient times to the present. Each chapter offers a unique lens, ranging from traditional learning systems and ethical leadership to contemporary corporate case studies rooted in Indian ethos. The book is intended to serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, educators, and practitioners of management, leadership, and social sciences. It is hoped that this work will stimulate further research, encourage contextualized management education, and inspire readers to appreciate the depth of India’s intellectual heritage in shaping effective and ethical management practices. With this first edition, an attempt has been made to initiate a meaningful dialogue between sanskriti and strategy, tradition and transformation.
