The Indian Knowledge System (IKS) embodies a rich and time-tested repository of indigenous wisdom that has evolved over centuries across the Indian subcontinent. Rooted in principles of balance, sustainability, and holistic thinking, IKS offers valuable insights that remain highly relevant in addressing contemporary economic and entrepreneurial challenges. In the present era of rapid globalization and technological transformation, there is an increasing need to revisit and reinterpret traditional knowledge systems to foster innovation and sustainable development. IKS provide a unique foundation for entrepreneurial thinking by integrating ethical values, resource efficiency, community orientation, and long-term sustainability into economic activities. These principles can guide modern entrepreneurs in creating ventures that are not only profitable but also socially responsible and environmentally sustainable.
This edited volume, Leveraging Indian Knowledge Systems for Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Sustainable Development, seeks to explore the dynamic interface between traditional wisdom and contemporary entrepreneurial practices. It highlights how indigenous knowledge can serve as a catalyst for innovation, enabling entrepreneurs to develop context-specific, resilient, and sustainable business models. The contributions in this book examine diverse dimensions of entrepreneurship through the lens of IKS, including leadership insights derived from classical texts, traditional approaches to governance and dispute resolution, and the application of indigenous knowledge in areas such as tribal entrepreneurship, handicrafts, and community-based enterprises. By focusing on entrepreneurship as a key driver of growth, this underscores the importance of integrating traditional knowledge with modern strategies to address current global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and inclusive development. It emphasizes that innovation rooted in cultural and intellectual heritage can offer viable pathways for sustainable progress.
This book is intended for researchers, academicians, policymakers, and students interested in entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable development, as well as practitioners seeking to incorporate indigenous knowledge into contemporary business practices. It aims to contribute to the growing discourse on the relevance of Indian Knowledge Systems in shaping a more sustainable and entrepreneurial future.
