Kautilya, also known as Chanakya and Vishnugupta, wrote the Arthashastra not later than AD 150, though the date has not been conclusively established. Legend has it that he was either a Brahmin from Kerala or from north India; however, it is certain that Kautilya was the man who destroyed the Nanda dynasty and installed Chandragupta Maurya as the King of Magadha. A master strategist who was well-versed in the Vedas and adept at creating intrigues and devising political stratagems, Kautilya's genius is reflected in his Arthashastra.

Chanakya was an Indian teacher, philosopher, and royal advisor. He managed the first Maurya emperor Chandragupta’s rise to power at a young age. He is widely credited for having played an important role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire, which was the first empire in archaeologically recorded history to rule most of the Indian subcontinent.

Chanakya Neeti, a collection of aphorisms on topics ranging from ethics, morality to governance and more, is said to have been compiled by Chandragupta Mauryas royal advisor, Chanakya, from a variety of ancient Indian treatises on the aforementioned topics. Chanakya, traditionally known as Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta, was an Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist and royal advisor. He wrote the Arthashastra, an ancient Indian political treatise.

Chanakya was not gifted with beauty or looks; however, he was gifted with intelligence, creativity and statesmanship. He is the best administrator to be born to date. The greatest strategist of his time, his hard labor, perseverance and guidance bore fruit to Chandragupta Maurya and who became the Emperor of the great Mauryan Empire. Chanakya served as his Prime minister and he is still known for his great wisdom, far sightedness, power of persuasion, manipulation and spreading dissension.

The timeless philosophy of Chanakya is masterfully reimagined through an elite ensemble of voices, anchored by the commanding, erudite performance of legendary actor Shri Tanikella Bharani and the evocative narration of Ms. Aanya. Together, they bridge generations, sharing wisdom that has shaped brilliant minds and compassionate hearts - qualities as vital today as ever.
