Second International Pre-conference Conclave
Spiritual Intelligence in Leadership: Cultivating Inner Wisdom for Compassionate and Effective Decision-Making
25 July 2026 · 8:45 AM – 1:00 PM (IST) · Online (Zoom) · Session Chair: Dr Sai Bhargavi Vedula, XLRI Jamshedpur
Keynotes by Ms. Cindy Wigglesworth, Dr. Thomas Culham, Prof. Sharda S. Nandram & Dr. Stephan Rothlin, SJ.
XLRI Centre for Spirituality & Human Development serves as a sanctuary for "whole-person" development. We cultivate leaders who move beyond "Ego-Driven" success to embrace "eco-driven, purpose-led Deep Conscious Leadership and Dharma-centric action."
Our Pillars of Transformation
The Centre is committed to serving as a spiritual compass, guiding the corporate world toward Truthfulness (Satya) and Non-violence (Ahimsa). We believe that business is not merely a tool for generating wealth, but a sacred path toward Human Flourishing. Our aim is to integrate these principles into the very fabric of modern management through:
The Human-Centric Corporate
Redefining the workplace as a space for Human Flourishing, where Ahimsa (non-violence) guides competition. Business is not an end in itself but a means for Sarvodaya (the upliftment of all), ensuring Equity, Equality, and Justice for the marginalised.
Holistic Growth & Well-being
Nurturing the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual persona of every individual to foster a culture of well-being with resilience and deep compassion.
Purpose-Driven Action
Transforming management into a vocation where work is viewed as a contribution to societal transformation and long-term sustainability for the greater good.
A Global Platform for Enlightenment
Through world-class Research, Training, and Mentoring, XLRI Centre for Spirituality & Human Development collaborates with scholars and practitioners globally to explore how ancient traditions can inform modern leadership.
We invite scholars, seekers, and global leaders to join us in this transformative journey to create a more humane, ethical, and virtuous business world through this international centre:
The International Conference on Spirituality
A global scholarly exchange dedicated to developing Deep Conscious Leadership and Dharma-centric action in the global marketplace.
The Spirituality Conclave
An experiential gathering of practitioners and thinkers. Here, we move from theory to Action for Truth, discussing how Purpose-Driven Work and Ethical Leadership can create "Human-Centric Corporates" that act as agents of planetary care.
