Abstract: The deficiencies in the current management practices in terms of rising inequalities, waning corporate ethical environment and absence of cultural context have become the crucial causal antecedents of change. In cultural context, the multidimensional space of spirituality adds ethics, notion of self-development and environmental activism in management discourses. The objective of this paper is to elucidate the strong interconnectedness between Indian spirituality and sustainable development goals and to bring better understandings and perspectives for the novel paradigm shift in management. Indian spirituality and philosophy outline the underlying ontological framework required to counter ambiguity for contemporary sustainable development agenda and help to develop organic perception for sustainable development goals. Indian spirituality brings an enriching perspective on the methods of improving ecological consciousness, communitarian roots and compassion at workplace among others.
