झकझोरो, झकझोरो महान् सुत को,
टेरो, टेरो चाणक्य-चन्द्रगुप्त को!

The initiative
Find them.
Mentor them.
Unleash them.
Chanakya once identified, mentored and nurtured a young Chandragupta Maurya. Chanakya Talks carries that idea into our times — finding the Chandraguptas of today in business, entrepreneurship, agriculture, artificial intelligence, medicine and social development.
It is an initiative of civil servants, academicians and prominent individuals from Bihar, bringing together professors from institutions such as IIMs and IITs, entrepreneurs, media professionals and management experts — with one aim: positive attitudinal change among the youth, and a Bihar and India restored as global centres of knowledge, prosperity and happiness.
