Indian Ethos, Indian Culture and Indian Management: New Frontiers in Management Thinking

During recent years, Indian concepts have acquired a new prominence at the global level. Its roots go back to 1960s, when several Indian Spiritual Movements (ISMs) acquired a worldwide acceptance and presence. Transcendental Meditation (TM), ISKCON, Brahma Kumaries etc. are a few illustrations. Further, after 1980s, many new movements emerged and acquired global presence such as Baba Ramdev’s yoga revolution, Art of Living, Vipassana meditation, SVYASA Yoga University’s Cyclic meditation etc. Yoga in its many variant forms has become very popular. International Yoga Day on June 21, declared by United Nations is an acknowledgement of the same. Thus, Indian cultural ideas and concepts are finding wide acceptance and following in the West. In fact, many ideas with origin in Indian thought have influenced life of nations, individuals and organizations.
