Abstract: Abstract The topic is the introduction of the concept of spirituality as an overarching and comprehensive approach to the management of businesses and people, using theory that is rooted in the ancient Indian literature of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. The paper discusses the approach of a well-known Indian business school which set out on a different path by successfully offering a course which frames business skills in the context of wider goals for businesses and for business leaders as individuals. Vedanta’s approach to education is a powerful tool for creating leaders of tomorrow who are instructed not merely to generate rewards for themselves or their corporations, but also to build enriching and rewarding lives and careers that impact society for the better.
