About this ebook
Building a business is hard work, but it's even harder if you're not passionate about what you're doing. That's why the Gita's teachings on Dharma are so relevant to entrepreneurship. Dharma is all about finding your purpose and living your life in a way that aligns with your values. When you can apply this principle to your work, you'll find that building a business becomes a lot more meaningful and fulfilling.
Of course, finding your purpose is easier said than done. That's why the Gita also teaches us the importance of self-reflection and introspection. By taking the time to reflect on our values and motivations, we can gain a better understanding of what drives us and what we want to achieve. This can help us make better decisions in our businesses and create a more authentic and purpose-driven brand.
Another key lesson from the Gita is the importance of ethical leadership. In today's world, where we see so many examples of unethical behavior in business, it's more important than ever to lead with integrity and moral courage. By being transparent, accountable, and socially responsible, we can build businesses that not only create wealth but also contribute to the greater good.
Ultimately, the principles of Business Entrepreneurship from the Gita and the rules of Dharma remind us that business is not just about making money. It's about creating something that has a positive impact on the world, and that aligns with our deepest values and aspirations. When we approach business in this way, we can find a sense of purpose and fulfillment that goes beyond mere financial success.

To Mom and Dad,
Thank you for always being there for me and loving me unconditionally.
Dad, your impatience and competitive nature taught me the importance of hard work and perseverance. Even though it was sometimes tough, your constant comparisons with others motivated me to strive for excellence.
I could not have accomplished all that I have without your love and support. You have always been my rock, my inspiration, and my biggest cheerleaders. Thank you for believing in me even when I doubted myself.
And to my loving wife,
Thank you for putting up with my endless work hours, my obsession with startups, and my never-ending desire to innovate. Your sarcasm and humor have been my constant source of laughter and joy, and I appreciate your patience and understanding more than words can express.
With love and gratitude,
Asish

Preface
Dear curious reader,
I invite you to join me on a journey that might seem unexpected at first, but trust me, it's worth it. In this book, we will explore the intersection between Bhagavad Gita and entrepreneurship - two seemingly unrelated subjects that have more in common than you might think.
As someone who has experienced success in the business world,
I have come to realize that the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita can be incredibly valuable in navigating the complex and unpredictable landscape of entrepreneurship.
No,
We won't be chanting mantras or performing elaborate rituals before a board meeting (although if that's your thing, go for it!).
Instead, we will delve into the principles of self-awareness, detachment, and focus on action rather than results that the Bhagavad Gita has to offer. Through the lens of entrepreneurship, we will examine how these principles can be applied in the pursuit of success and fulfillment.
But don't worry, this book won't be your typical dry and dull business read.
Instead, we will explore the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita in a lively and engaging manner, with plenty of anecdotes and humor sprinkled throughout.
So, whether you're an entrepreneur looking for a fresh perspective or just someone curious about the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern-day business, this book is for you.
So sit back, relax, and let's embark on this journey together.

Introduction
Have you ever found yourself pondering the meaning of success?
Wondering if there's more to life than just the endless pursuit of material wealth and possessions?
If so, you're not alone.
As entrepreneurs, we are often driven by a desire for achievement and recognition, but we also crave something deeper - a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
That's where the Bhagavad Gita comes in.
This ancient Indian scripture offers profound insights into the nature of the self, the purpose of life, and the pursuit of happiness. And as it turns out, these insights are just as relevant to the world of entrepreneurship as they were thousands of years ago.
In this book, we will explore the intersection of Bhagavad Gita and entrepreneurship, and how the teachings of Vedic philosophy can help us navigate the complex and unpredictable landscape of modern-day business.
But before we dive in, let's take a closer look at
