A pioneer of economics and political science in India, Chanakya was one of the most brilliant, tactful and shrewd economists and strategists of the Mauryan Era.

The author makes use of the aphorisms or sutras proposed in Chanakya's book called Arthasastra (Economics) in the management and functioning of modern-day businesses.
