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.  


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