Abstract
This study identifies factors that contribute to resilience of small-cap companies that survive in the dynamic and competitive Information Technology sector despite resource constraints and caters to the dearth of studies on everyday organizational resilience. Using interpretivist approach, a qualitative assessment of thirty-three interviews the study identified that small-cap IT companies focus on shared survival, anticipation, retention, adaptation, tolerance, humor, and insights to promote resilience in the organization. These themes are integrated with a tint of Eastern philosophy positioning leadership at the core. Sarathi is a symbolic representation of Lord Krishna, the mythological character from ancient Indian texts representing a mentor, guide-like leader who offers direction and support in difficult times.
