“Indian Knowledge System (IKS) and Human Resource Management (HRM): Work, Wisdom, and Wellbeing” is an academic initiative linking the rich heritage of Bharatiya Jnana Vyavastha (Indian Knowledge Systems) and modern-day HRM concepts. Drawing from the very roots of ancient Indian scriptures, philosophical treatises, and applied wisdom, the course inculcates the usage of traditional knowledge to modern organizational behaviour, employee wellness, and ethics of managing people. With reference to Vaidika (Vedic) views and Smriti granthas (traditional texts), it combines the classical approach seen in Arthashastra, Bhagavadgita, Yoga Sutras, and Epic and other literature, giving the trainee an all-encompassing view of work, wisdom, and wellbeing, considering both timeless values and modern HR management precepts. This course has huge relevance in the current corporate landscape, ethical issues, and disengagement. It linked back with ancient Indian wisdom, providing sustainable remedies to work harmony, mindful- leadership, and holistic employee development. In addition, it actively engages in the global dialogue around conscious capitalism and spirituality in management and promotes human-centered organizational cultures, thus positioning Indian knowledge systems as a very important component of HRM going into the future. For academics, practitioners, and leaders, this course intends not just to impart theoretical knowledge but, importantly, actionable wisdom to build workspaces that support both productivity and human flourishing.
