Women and girls forming a community circle in a Mehalchauri courtyard

Experiential leadership · Responsible action

Karma YogaTwo pathways. One ethic of responsible action.

One pathway turns service into rigorous field learning for management students. The other follows relationships with place over time—beginning with Mehalchauri in the Himalayan foothills of Uttarakhand.

01 · For B-Schools
Field immersion · Co-design · Evidence
02 · For India
Mehalchauri · Long-horizon partnership

Worth asking

Which pathway are you actually choosing — and why?

  1. 01

    Who decides if it worked — the students, or Mehalchauri?

  2. 02

    Would this still be worth doing if your team could never come back?

Choose a pathway

Two branches, designed for different kinds of work.

Pathway 01 · Field pedagogy

Karma Yoga for B-Schools

A complete management-learning architecture: inquiry, field immersion, co-design, disciplined execution, impact evidence, handover and reflection.

Pathway 02 · Long-horizon partnership

Karma Yoga for India

The Mehalchauri story: a relationship across education, sport, environment, livelihood experiments and community capability, told with historical and April 2026 field photographs.

Read the Mehalchauri story

“My major takeaway from Karma Yoga at Great Lakes is that every problem can be solved if you just initiate and move forward with whatever you can do… It has all the components that a good manager should have, starting from problem identification, teamwork, and most importantly—empathy.”

Sumit Gupta · PGPM 2021–22

Recognition

Nominated · ET Education Excellence Awards, 3rd Edition

Karma Yoga was put forward for “Excellence in Innovative Teaching and Experiential Learning”—recognition for treating field service as management education enacted in the field, not outreach added to it.

The shared ethic

Different settings. The same responsibilities.

01

Dignity before solution

Enter with humility. Local knowledge, consent and priorities come before the team’s preferred answer.

02

Evidence before narrative

Pair lived stories with observation, feedback and honest limits before claiming that an action created value.

03

Handover before exit

Design for local ownership, maintenance and the right to adapt or stop the work after a visiting team leaves.
