INDICA is pleased to announce an intimate three day immersion on Conscious Leadership, rooted in the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gītā. Designed as a reflective and experiential process, it supports leaders in cultivating inner clarity, ethical steadiness, and purposeful action while navigating complexity. This is an invitation to move from reactive decision making to conscious, value aligned leadership. It is intended for senior corporate leaders, CXOs, and founders, especially those based in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kochi, Coimbatore and Chennai, who seek to deepen self awareness and lead with purpose.

Program Purpose

We live in an age of continuous disruption across technology, economics, and organizations. Leadership today demands more than execution and outcomes. It calls for authenticity, emotional maturity, and a long term ethical compass. This retreat enables a shift from reactive problem solving to Conscious Leadership, where inner clarity, wisdom, and strategic thinking work together.

Core Focus Areas

The program weaves spiritual insight with contemporary leadership challenges. Key principles drawn from the Bhagavad Gītā include:

Self Mastery and Inner Clarity
Understanding the mind, emotions, and inner drivers of action
Equanimity under Pressure
Cultivating steadiness and discernment in high-stakes environments
Detached Action (Nishkama Karma)
Acting with commitment, without anxiety driven attachment to outcomes
Ethical and Values Led Leadership
Decision making rooted in integrity and collective well being
Servant Leadership
Leading through humility, purpose, and contribution

These ideas are explored through real corporate situations such as strategic ambiguity, stakeholder conflicts, cultural transformation, and personal sustainability.

Program Design and Methodology

Participants engage through a carefully curated mix of reflective and experiential formats:

Facilitated leadership dialogues
Case studies and group discussions
Mindfulness and meditation practices
Nature immersions and periods of silent reflection
One on one coaching conversations
Peer learning and networking circles

The program rhythm is designed to encourage deep internalization, personal insight, and meaningful behavioural shifts.

What Leaders Will Gain

Participants will return with:

Greater emotional intelligence and resilience
Sharper, values driven decision making
Stronger people leadership and communication skills
Clarity around personal purpose and organizational direction
Renewed energy, focus, and grounded executive presence

Venue and Environment

The immersion will be held at a serene, nature based centre near Coonoor in the Nilgiris. The setting is intentionally chosen to support reflection and stillness, and includes:

Luxury accommodation
Dedicated spaces for dialogue and contemplation
Nourishing wellness cuisine and herbal refreshments
Nature trails for mindful walks

The Nilgiris themselves become a silent teacher, offering perspective, spaciousness, and calm.

Gratitude Based Participation

At INDICA, our work is guided by gratitude rather than transactions. This immersion is offered in the spirit of reverence for the wisdom we have inherited and for those who choose to engage with it sincerely. There is no fixed fee. Instead, participants are invited to express gratitude in one or more of the following ways:

Gratitude to the Teacher
If the sessions have been meaningful, participants may offer Guru Dakshina to the faculty.
Gratitude to the Institution
Participants may support INDICA’s work in an amount that reflects their appreciation, enabling us to continue creating spaces for reflection and learning.
Gratitude through Time and Action
Participants may choose to give back by sharing insights gained through mentoring, writing, conversations, or other forms of service.

This approach allows each participant to engage from intention, not obligation. This link is provided for those who wish to express gratitude.

Accommodation and Meals
