Review:

In the present book, I am glad to note that various aspects of Arthashastra have been included as the roles and responsibilities of the HR department.

The authors of this book Santosh Bagwe and Tushar Kokane have used the ideas from Kautilya’s Arthashastra for modern-day HR practitioners.

The book has taken a lot of ideas from the original work of Chanakya and interpreted in a modern format. Easy to understand and simple in language, not only HR professionals will benefit from the book, but also general readers.

I am glad this book is an excellent contribution to the corporate world which will get a lot of tips from Arthashastra and the wisdom of Chanakya.
