Karma is a universally known and widely acknowledged Indian philosophical concept. Its impact is often accepted by individuals in various forms, in both personal and professional lives. This paper, therefore, aims to study the belief in the philosophy of karma and its influence in the Indian workplace. This is studied through the responses recorded over a questionnaire by professionals belonging to various age groups, backgrounds, and fields. The questions considered here deal with, how strongly people believe in the philosophy of karma, to what extent they attribute the events (good or bad) occurring in their life and other peoples’ lives to this theory, time period in which the fruits of one’s actions are borne, belief in rebirth, whether the impact of karma is believed to be limited to single life or not, and the belief in the goal of humans to be free from the cycle of birth and death. Through these basic questions, an attempt is made to know the extent to which the belief of the people is firm in the philosophy of karma, and its related concepts.
