In an era where leadership often equates to metrics and milestones, Chanakya Aanvikshiki Pvt. Ltd. (CAPL) offers a refreshing perspective rooted in ancient Indian philosophy. Established on March 6, 2016, by Dr. Radhakrishnan Pillai, a distinguished scholar of Kautilya's Arthashastra, CAPL is a research-based organization dedicated to training and mentoring leaders across corporate, political, and public service sectors.
Dr. Pillai, holding a Ph.D. from the University of Mumbai and an M.A. in Sanskrit, has extensively researched the Arthashastra at the Chinmaya International Foundation under Dr. Gangadharan Nair Startup Grind. His vision for CAPL was to bridge the gap between ancient strategic wisdom and contemporary leadership challenges. With over 25 years of experience, he has authored 21 bestselling books, including the acclaimed 'Corporate Chanakya', and has trained leaders in various fields, including the military, academia, and corporate sectors.
CAPL's flagship offering, the Chanakya Leadership Development Program (CLDP), is a 12-week course conducted at a premier management institute in Bandra, Mumbai. The program is structured around the Saptanga model from the Arthashastra, focusing on seven pillars of leadership: the ruler, ministers, territory, fortifications, treasury, army, and allies. Each session combines Chanakya's teachings with insights from contemporary industry experts, providing participants with a holistic understanding of leadership principles.
Beyond CLDP, CAPL offers various workshops and courses, such as the Chanakya Leadership Development Workshop (CLDW), a one-day intensive program designed to impart the essence of the Saptanga model to professionals seeking to enhance their leadership skills . These programs have been instrumental in training over 10,000 executives and advising more than 500 organizations, including Indian Oil Corporation, Tata Group, and the Indian Armed Forces.
