Leadership Lessons from Mahabharata with Profs. Asha Kaul and Vishal Gupta, IIM A | Things to Learn from Karan, Kunti, Shakuni, Krishna and Dronacharya

Mahabharata is one of the oldest scriptures and its relevance transcends any era and situation. The beauty of the story is that the lessons we draw from every situation and character is subjective and could be totally different from the next person.

However, over the years the way the story has been depicted and narrated, it has always left us with deep perceptions which are difficult to shake. For eg., Do you think Shakuni was a great leader, regardless of the end result? We seem to have labelled him with everything negative and everything we shouldn't do. But maybe that's not true.

This discussion with Prof. Asha Kaul and Prof. Vishal Gupta at IIM A, is an objective discussion analysing some of these important characters, what they stand for and what we can learn from them.

The discussion is based on their book published by Bloomsbury, Demystifying Leadership: Unveiling the Mahabharata Code.
