Indian mythology provides a unique perspective on the role of management in society. It is useful to understand how to manage resources and handle conflicts in a culturally appropriate way. It has been used to provide guidance on a variety of topics, including leadership, decision making, problem solving, and other aspects of management. From a management education perspective, the study of Indian mythology can help to provide insights into how to effectively manage a team or organisation in a culturally sensitive way. Indian mythology is filled with stories of great kings and leaders, which offer valuable insight into the qualities and traits that make up a successful leader.  Furthermore, understanding importance of Indian mythology can help management educators to better appreciate the cultural context in which their students are operating. The present paper will explore and focus on the role and importance of Indian Mythology in Higher and Management Education. The paper will also throw light on how Indian mythology has been used in different scope of management education.
