Ram Nidumolu

What’s inside

“Two Birds in a Tree” by Ram Nidumolu takes a unique approach to business and leadership, blending ancient Indian philosophy with modern management practices. The title is derived from a metaphor found in the Mundaka Upanishad, which describes two birds in a tree, one eating the fruit (engaging with the world) and the other watching (the inner self). Nidumolu uses this metaphor to introduce the concept of ‘Being-centered leadership,’ a form of leadership that is sustainable, ethical, and deeply rooted in understanding one’s inner self and its connection to the larger world.
