Ever felt torn between doing what’s written vs. doing what’s right? 
HR leaders call it policy. Mythology calls it Dharma. 
And Anand Neelakantan calls it… a story as old as time. 

In this episode of The CHRO Mindset Podcast, bestselling author (prequels of Bahubali) & mythologist Anand Neelakantan brings the Ramayana and Mahabharata into your boardroom. 

What you’ll learn: 

• Why “any idiot can write rules” but only leaders decide when to break them 
• How Vishnu’s doorkeepers, Ram, and Hanuman mirror today’s HR dilemmas 
• Why AI can summarise the past but never replace wisdom 
• The fine line between empathy, efficiency, and fairness at work 

Mic Drop Moment: 
“Wisdom isn’t following the rulebook. Wisdom is knowing when to close it.” 

🎧 Listen. Laugh. Rethink leadership.
