What the World's Oldest Organizations Can Teach Modern Business: Temples, Churches, and Mosques Know About Business That Harvard Doesn't

The average company today survives less than twenty years. The temple down your street has survived five hundred. What if the greatest case studies in customer loyalty, voluntary revenue, and operations at scale aren't hiding in Harvard's archives-but in the langar kitchen at Amritsar, the pilgrim queues at Tirupati, and the church bells that have called the same families home for centuries? Dainu Davi-IIM Kozhikode post graduate, entrepreneur, and co-founder of a hearing healthcare chain-spent a year studying the world's oldest organizations the way a consultant studies a market leader. What he found will unsettle every business school syllabus: religious institutions cracked customer acquisition, retention, franchise consistency, and crisis survival centuries before management theory had words for them. This is not a book about faith. It is a book about why faith works as an organization-and what your business can finally learn from it.
