Kuruva Venkata Ramana Murthy
Eliteone Stories | Author Interview
TEDx speaker, entrepreneur, author, and strategic thinking practitioner Kuruva Venkataramana Murthy shares his thinking on strategy, leadership, decision-making, and the deeper wisdom of Bharateeya thought.
In this conversation, Murthy discusses his latest book, Bharateeya Strategic Intelligence: Diagnosis to Discipline, and the seven disciplines that form the BSI framework, Drishti, Nischaya, Bodha, Swadharma, Margarekha, Pramaan, and Sadhana.
At the heart of his approach is a powerful question: “What if the problem you are trying to solve is not the real problem?”
Drawing from more than two decades of experience with entrepreneurs, professionals, leaders, and organisations, Murthy explains why effective strategy begins with diagnosis, why saying no is an essential strategic discipline, and why evidence must come before commitment.
He also reflects on bringing Bharateeya strategic thought into contemporary business and leadership, and his vision for BSI as a framework that can be applied, taught, researched, challenged, and continuously improved.
“Do not fall in love with your first diagnosis. Find the Maximum Friction before you prescribe the solution.”
