TLDR: Kuruva Venkataramana Murthy has released his new book, ‘AI DRIVEN LEADERSHIP: Leading with Dharma in the Age of AI – Adapt, Accelerate, Amplify,’ offering a framework for ethical and conscious leadership amidst the rapid advancements of artificial intelligence. The book emphasizes integrating AI with human values and timeless wisdom.
Hyderabad, Telangana, India – August 2, 2025 – In a pivotal moment for global leadership, Kuruva Venkataramana Murthy, a visionary author, TEDx speaker, and UN-recognized coach, has officially launched his latest book, ‘AI DRIVEN LEADERSHIP: Leading with Dharma in the Age of AI – Adapt, Accelerate, Amplify.’ The release comes at a critical juncture as artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries and redefine the very essence of leadership. Murthy’s work provides a comprehensive framework for leaders seeking to leverage AI’s power while remaining anchored in purpose, ethics, and fundamental human values.
The book, which was also highlighted in pre-release discussions on July 25, 2025, proposes a ‘Dharmic lens’ for the digital age, advocating for conscious precision over an unbridled pursuit of speed and scale. Murthy’s innovative ‘AAA Model’ — Adapt with Awareness, Amplify with Ethics, and Accelerate with Alignment — serves as a strategic blueprint for navigating the complexities of AI, including challenges like AI bias, data-driven decision fatigue, and systemic misalignment.
During the book’s launch in Hyderabad, Murthy emphasized, ‘Artificial Intelligence is the most powerful tool humanity has created. But tools alone don’t define progress—our awareness, our intentions, and our wisdom do. This book is a guide for leaders who want to move from reaction to vision, from control to consciousness.’ He further asserts that leadership that fails to evolve will become irrelevant in the AI age, making adaptation a necessity.
‘AI DRIVEN LEADERSHIP’ delves into how AI-driven systems can enhance a leader’s impact, boost employee engagement, and foster innovation without compromising the core principles of leadership. Murthy states, ‘Leadership is not about power over people. It’s about power with people—about inspiring action, nurturing trust, and expanding awareness. AI can help us do that—if we lead with Dharma.’ The book also addresses critical leadership shortcomings in the current AI landscape, such as the Integrity Gap, Awareness Gap, and Relevance Gap, offering practical tools and rituals like Sankalpa (intentional clarity), Swadhyaya (weekly alignment audits), and Sama (daily digital silence and introspection) to guide leaders.

The launch event itself, held on August 2, 2025, in Hyderabad, was designed as an immersive, full-day experience, breaking away from traditional book launches. It featured storytelling sessions, community dialogue, and shared meals, focusing on personal transformation stories from individuals impacted by Murthy’s work. This unique approach underscores Murthy’s intent to foster a community of ‘aware, grounded, and heart-led individuals’ to collectively shape a new leadership paradigm. His work serves as a powerful reminder that while technology advances, human presence, ethical reflection, and shared memory remain indispensable tools for effective leadership.
