This paper examines the ethical leadership of Lord Rama as portrayed in the Hindu epic, Ramayana, and explores how his principles align with contemporary Economic policies at the macro and micro levels, thereby leading to sustainability and peace. In the present-day world, which has changed the shape and future of generations by making dramatic progress in the field of technology, innovation, and inventions, the need for dynamic and skilled leaders is significant. This paper provides a bibliometric analysis of the articles on contemporary leadership style by examining 280 papers collected from Scopus and Web of Science databases from 2005 to 2024 using the Biblioshiny package in R software and VOS Viewer to delineate influential aspects, trend topics, themes, conceptual, intellectual, and social structure. The findings indicate the relevance of Rama’s Leadership style adopted way back in the 7th to 4th century BCE in the modern economy. Further, the study proposes how ancient values can inform sustainable and responsible leadership today. It also provides the scope for further research concerning political, cultural, gender, female-based, and transformational leadership.
