At its core, The India Way of Leadership is rooted in the belief that the ancient wisdom found in India’s great epics—the Mahabharata and the Ramayana—holds powerful lessons for modern leadership. These timeless stories, brimming with fascinating characters like Hanuman, Rama, and Krishna, explore universal themes of focus, resilience, persuasion, and moral decision-making that remain profoundly relevant today.

My deep fascination with these epics and their intricate storytelling is woven into every element of the course. Through these tales, we learn that leadership is not just about guiding others but about mastering oneself—balancing courage with compassion, purpose with adaptability, and strategy with authenticity.
By drawing from history, the course inspires a modern, holistic approach to leadership, empowering individuals to lead with clarity, creativity, and conviction. The past isn’t just a lesson—it’s a guide to shaping the future.

SUCCESS STORIES..
Shriram did a fantastic job tailoring the content and keeping the sessions centered on the key topic of communication & collaboration.He shared interesting events and facts while involving the teams in enjoyable activities that maintained their focus and added a fun element to the day. Thank you for organizing and running the sessions.
Shriram Iyer is a very effective speaker. His presentation at Generation Australia's Cloud Computing Bootcamp was highly motivating. It included techniques for setting up a CAN DO mindset. All those who attended, including me, gained from, and loved it.
I was completely blown away with the way Shriram conducted the workshop and it was very interactive and we also felt we were stretched out of our normal routines of thinking and we were pulled out of our comfort zone, (made to) do a lot of brainstorming, present our ideas... it really helped us grow into our paths.
Shriram is an amazing person, a great personality, and an engaging speaker. There were so many takeaways, personally for me and for the group as well. It was great to have him
