Bhaktivedanta Leadership Program — Lead From the Gita
The Bhagavad Gita was spoken to a leader in crisis. Evolve Pune™ turns its counsel into a practical leadership curriculum for professionals and students.
Leadership Begins With Self-Mastery
Most leadership programs teach skills. The Gita teaches the leader. Arjuna’s battlefield crisis — paralysis, conflicting duties, fear of failure — is every professional’s crisis in concentrated form. This program turns Krishna’s response into training for:
- Self-mastery — governing the mind and senses before governing teams
- Equanimity under pressure — steadiness in success and failure alike
- Principled decision-making — acting from duty and values, not anxiety
- Purpose beyond position — leading as service, not self-promotion
- Sustainable motivation — detachment from results without losing drive
Who Should Join
Professionals navigating responsibility and burnout, managers and founders seeking a values-anchored style, and students preparing for careers where character matters as much as competence. Our director teaches leadership at Symbiosis and Dr. D.Y. Patil MBA schools and has delivered these ideas at companies including Barclays.
