THE ENLIGHTENED MANAGER

A Transformative Approach to Work and Life

 

Regarded globally as one of the greatest thinkers of the modern age, Jiddu Krishnamurti left an indelible mark on anyone who encountered him. In The Enlightened Manager, serial entrepreneur Vishwanath Alluri, who was deeply impacted by Krishnamurti’s teachings, examines current management problems in the light of his timeless insights. Can we be more productive at work by committing to order in life? Do entrepreneurs and investors make better decisions when they are radically self-aware? How can the essential human qualities of humility and compassion make us more effective leaders, and make the world a better place?

Based on Alluri’s own experiences, this fascinating and paradigm-shifting book is the beginning of a transformative journey. By returning us to first principles, it inspires us to prioritize self-knowledge, rethink management and transform the essence of work itself.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Vishwanath Alluri founded technology company IMISoft and then the communication platform IMImobile. He has built both into a multi-country and multi-million pound enterprise. He’s also an Author who wrote “The Enlightened Manager: A Transformative Approach to Work and Life” with Harry Eyres, a poet, author, essayist, journalist and arts writer as well as one of the most eloquent advocates of the worldwide Slow movement. He contributes articles to many leading newspapers and magazines.

 

Vishwanath Alluri’s entrepreneurial journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to harness India’s intellectual potential and create globally relevant Intellectual Properties. In 1988, Vish founded IMISoft to develop engineering design products. Their solutions for transmission and telecom tower design were adopted by global giants like ABB and Hyundai. IMISoft soon earned a reputation for integrity and technical excellence, culminating in its acquisition by a Denmark-based engineering conglomerate in 2008.
In 1999, he founded IMImobile with a belief that mobile data would shape the future. What started as a vision in India grew into a global CPaaS leader with a presence in over 70 countries and backing from investors across India, the UK, and the US. In 2021, IMImobile was acquired by Cisco for $730 million—a milestone that validated both their technology and governance.

 

But his path has also been inward. Since 2000, the teachings of J. Krishnamurti have deeply influenced Vish worldview. In 2014, after IMImobile’s IPO on the London Stock Exchange, Vish stepped away from the corporate world to fully dedicate himself to the Krishnamurti Foundations—focused on education, inner inquiry, and rural development.

From code to contemplation, this has been a journey of building both technology and meaning.
