In an increasingly complex global business environment, organizations are seeking value-based leadership models that integrate ethics, emotional intelligence, and sustainable decision-making. Ancient philosophical texts offer significant insights into such approaches. The Bhagavad Gita, one of the most influential philosophical works of Indian thought, provides profound teachings on duty, leadership, self-discipline, and ethical action. This paper examines the relevance of the Bhagavad Gita’s philosophical principles in contemporary corporate management practices. Concepts such as Karma Yoga (selfless action), Dharma (ethical duty), detachment from outcomes, emotional equilibrium, and transformational leadership are analyzed in relation to modern management theories. The study argues that the Bhagavad Gita offers a holistic framework for ethical leadership, employee motivation, and sustainable organizational performance. By integrating ancient wisdom with contemporary management perspectives, organizations can cultivate responsible leadership and resilient corporate cultures.
