History has seen and read several authors of the ancient period  but none like Kautalya. A mastermind behind the great work called 'Arthashastra' (अर्थशास्त्रम्) Kautilya, has the recognition of being the most influential political philosopher and guide for Chandragupta Maurya during the 326 B.C., Mauryan era.  The veracity of application to Kautilya's Arthashastra ranges to limitless boundaries of knowledge and learning from medicine to education to philosophy and even to contemporary management sciences.  Arthashastra is a ''moolamantra'' not only for political governance but also a ''guptamantra'' for  corporate management governance.The preaching of अर्थशास्त्रम् elevate human thinking to work with sixth sense engaging cognitive, affective and motor domains  to keep control over mind, body and self so that institutions can prosper.

History has seen and read several authors of the ancient period  but none like Kautalya. A mastermind behind the great work called 'Arthashastra' (अर्थशास्त्रम्) Kautilya, has the recognition of being the most influential political philosopher and guide for Chandragupta Maurya during the 326 B.C., Mauryan era. Kautalya's work is an enema written originally in Sanskrit and he is considered the greatest political thinker and craftsman Indian civilization has ever produced. The veracity of application to Kautilya's Arthashastra ranges to limitless boundaries of knowledge and learning from medicine to education to philosophy and even to contemporary management sciences.  Arthashastra is a ''moolamantra'' not only for political governance but also a ''guptamantra'' for  corporate management governance.The preaching of अर्थशास्त्रम् elevate human thinking to work with sixth sense engaging cognitive, affective and motor domains  to keep control over mind, body and self so that institutions can prosper.    

While there may be doubts from the very fact as to  how his name should be spelt (as Kautalya or Kautilya) to his native place of birth and origin ('<nowiki/>''Taksasila''' in Punjab or  Dravidian from South, or a Nampudiri of Kerala) to whether he truly scripted the Arthashastram, the world still believes with credible evidences provided by exponents that he is the architect of this monumental work. He was called Kautila because he belonged to Kautalyagotra.  Born at 'Canaka' in Punjab as it is believed, he was called Canakya but later baptized to Visnugupts by his parents. Hence the names Kautalya, Canakya and Visnugupta are the resounding names in literature. The Chanakya Neeti is nothing but a political strategy suggesting ways and means to combat any administrative and political eventuality. When the Nanada dynasty was weaning to self destruction there was void in the political climate for a strong administrator to manage the reigns.The political doldrums, foreign invasions, social unrest and mis-governance presented fertile opportunity to Kautalya and he immediately seized it. Not interested in power, position and authority, he found and fermented Chandragupta Maurya to lead the Mauryan empire teaching him all tricks of the trade codified in his treatise Arthashastram, to the extent that the Mauryan dynasty become the uncontested power for several years in history. The treatise covers all social , political. warfare, welfare, economics, finance, and disciplinary aspects of administration that led the Mauryan dynasty to claim a unique political fabric of its own.  Single and brahmin, simple yet bold, austere yet opportunist, never forgetting a slight  and scheming, Chanakya was known to achieve his ultimate purpose regardless of the means  (referred also as Indian Machiavelli) employed as he never admitted defeat of purpose due to means unsuited to the end.
