सार

Jainism offers a set of practices that help businesses grow with integrity, rooted in long-term thinking, restraint, and care for the community. While these principles are most visible in small, privately owned companies, they are not limited to them. The real opportunity lies in scaling these values up, showing that a business does not have to go public or sacrifice its soul to succeed. When Jain ethics guide growth, companies can remain profitable, deepen trust with their communities, and avoid the short-termism that often hollows out once-visionary giants.
