Abstract: The integration of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) into contemporary digital business practices has gained increasing relevance due to growing concerns related to environmental sustainability, ethical governance, and long-term economic stability. Indian Knowledge Systems, rooted in ancient Indian texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Arthashastra, Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, and Mahabharata, emphasize ethical responsibility, balanced resource utilization, and social welfare. While earlier studies have largely explored IKS from conceptual and qualitative perspectives, empirical and quantitative validation of its practical impact on modern digital business practices remains limited.

    The present study examines the relationship between Indian Knowledge System integration, digital technology adoption, ethical governance, resource efficiency, and sustainable business performance. Using secondary data logic and a structured quantitative dataset, statistical tools such as descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, reliability testing, and multiple regression analysis were employed. The findings reveal a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between IKS-based practices and sustainable business performance. The study conclusively establishes that Indian Knowledge Systems are not merely philosophical constructs but can be practically implemented and quantitatively measured in digital sustainable business environments.
