COURSE DESCRIPTION:
We take inspiration from our rich history. History which is full of legendary figures have since ages
inspired and motivated us with their exemplary works. It feels good to read about leaders who played
important roles in their times. But what if when a person single-handedly shaped the history. A man
with various arrows in his quiver, highly regarded and his every word holds same significance as it
was centuries before. A universal genius whose areas of expertise included a wide array as a teacher,
philosopher, economist, jurist, royal advisor and above all a kingmaker – he can only be Chanakya
also known as Kautilya, Vishnugupta and Vishnusharma.
A man so affluent that he transformed a street boy into the emperor of India. Well, he is also credited
with writing Panchtantra, where he taught principles of good government to three princes of
Amarasakti. If Chanakya transformed the face of politics and economics through his Arthshastra, he
has also outlined measures to improve lives of common citizens by his wise words of Chanakya Neeti.
In todays globalized corporate world where nations are in complicated diplomatic relationship,
