The CHRO Mindset

Ep 46 | S03 Ep04 - Devdutt Pattanaik on Ancient Wisdom and Modern Workplaces

Devdutt Pattanaik delivers a bold keynote that challenges India’s addiction with hustle, hierarchy, and hyper-growth that still echoes of the colonial East India Company mindset.

Drawing wisdom from Business Sutra and ancient Indian scriptures, he urges HR professionals to shift from: 

  •  Extraction to exchange,  
  •  Control to consciousness, and  
  •  Shark tanks to lotus ponds. 


Three Impactful Takeaways You Just Can’t Miss!

  1. Growth without purpose is predatory and how HR can add that purpose.  
  2. Mythology isn’t fiction, it’s a mirror, and how you can use it to shape your culture. 
  3. HR is the custodian of the people and how to prevent the workplace from turning into a shark tank.  


This is a cue to rewrite your business growth playbook that gives lotuses and not shark bites!
