About the Book

In Business in the Indian Context, Ananda Das Gupta explores the inseparable relationship between business and society. Business does not exist in a vacuum; it is intricately woven into the fabric of the economic, technological, social, political, and cultural environment in which it functions. In this thought-provoking work, Gupta advocates for a holistic view of business, acknowledging it as a dominant force within modern society.

The book delves into the evolving perspective of business as an integral organ of society. It challenges the traditional understanding by integrating the dynamic forces of both the Western secular, scientific culture and the Eastern spiritual philosophy. Gupta envisions a new synthesis, one that merges the outer dynamism of the West with the inner dynamism of the East, forming a comprehensive approach to modern business philosophy.

Gupta offers two key visions for a modern business approach: First, an evolutionary humanism centered business model, and second, the concept of business as an experimental workshop for a creative synthesis of ethics and management. This book envisions a future where business practices align with ethical principles, creating a balanced synthesis between the cultural forces of East and West.

The book is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of ethics and management and offers valuable insights for creating a business model grounded in integrity, cultural understanding, and humanism.
