Abstract	In today’s complex business environment, effective management requires more than technical expertise. The ability to think critically, negotiate and communicate logically, and make ethically sound decisions is crucial. Teaching logic in management education equips future leaders with the cognitive tools to analyse problems, make decisions systematically, navigate ambiguity with confidence and communicate decisions clearly. India’s rich tradition of reasoning—especially Tarka Shastra and Ny?ya philosophy—offers powerful frameworks for enhancing managerial competence. This article explores the relevance of teaching logic in management education and the application of these classical Indian knowledge systems in the modern scenario, highlighting principles such as Pram??a, Anum?na, Ny?ya syllogism, and debate typologies, and presents scholarly references to support the integration of these indigenous frameworks into contemporary curricula.
