What if the best leadership strategies were written centuries ago?
In this episode, author and corporate leader Manish Chaturvedi joins Gaurav Arora to share the inside story of his book Yogi @ Corporate Street — where epics like the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Bhagavad Gita meet the demands of today’s boardrooms.
They explore:
- The leadership styles of Ram vs Krishna
- Why self-leadership is the first step to leading others
- Karma, Gyan, and Bhakti as frameworks for professional growth
- Navigating corporate politics with ethical clarity
- How purpose-driven leadership outlasts strategy alone
Whether you're a CXO, entrepreneur, coach, or a seeker of wisdom, this episode offers timeless insights for anyone looking to lead from a deeper place.
