This paper examines the leadership and ethical management implications of selected Hindu scriptures with particular attention to the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Arthashastra and the Manusmriti. The purpose is not to treat scriptural texts as direct business manuals, but to evaluate their conceptual relevance for contemporary management concerns such as ethical leadership, self-regulation, stakeholder responsibility and meaningful work. The paper is based on qualitative textual analysis supported by a structured coding framework and descriptive statistical interpretation of management-related themes. The findings show that ethics, leadership and decision-making appear as highly visible themes in the analysed corpus. Ethics accounts for 18.21 percent of coded units, while leadership and decision-making each account for 15.36 percent. The Bhagavad Gita demonstrates particular strength in leadership, duty-centred action and motivational discipline, while the Upanishads contribute strongly to self-management, reflective judgement and inner restraint. The results indicate substantial to strong coding reliability, with Cohen's kappa values ranging from 0.75 to 0.84 across major themes. The paper argues that scripture-informed management thinking can enrich modern leadership theory when interpreted through inclusive, secular and humanistic standards. It contributes to culturally grounded management scholarship by showing that modern management can benefit from ethical and spiritual insight without compromising critical reasoning, equality or organisational professionalism.
