Chanakya, the well known king maker who lived in 3rd Century B.C, documented his ideas on how to identify leaders and groom them to govern a country, in his book Kautilya’s Arthashastra. In this AudioBook series the author simplifies the teachings of Chanakya from the Arthashastra, and makes them relevant for today’s leaders of the corporate world through his writings on Successful Management the Chanakya Way.

This series is divided into 3 audiobooks namely Leadership, Management & Training. They include chanakya’s insights on various topics like – organizing and conducting effective meetings, dealing with tricky situations, managing time, decision making and responsibilities and powers of a leader.

The journey of Corporate Chanakya took off with Radhakrishnan Pillai penning it down through the research support of SPM group and Jaico Publications publishing the book in August 2010. The book has gone on to become a national bestseller in a very short time, and also got nominated for the ‘Vodafone Crossword Book of the Year Award.’ And now Shemaroo has committed itself, to take this venture to the next level. The first being, releasing the audio version of the entire book and making it available across all digital platforms and the next being, a learning film based on some important parts of the book, coming soon.

Hiren Gada, Director, Shemaroo Entertainment states ‘This AudioBook Series would help you learn business strategies the chanakya way, even on your morning jog, drive to work or when you just want to relax with your eyes closed but ears open. These are the important features which excited us to release the audio version of this book. To help connect non book readers to Chanakya’s teachings.’

Radhakrishnan Pillai, author Corporate Chanakya shares his thoughts: ‘Even though the book has become a bestseller there are many who still love to listen than read a book.

I am proud to be associated with Shemaroo in this  education project’
