Answer:

The Mauryan dynasty was founded by Ashoka

Answer 2

Chandragupta Maurya founded the Mauryan Dynasty.

The Mauryan Empire's first leader, Chandragupta Maurya, started consolidating land as Alexander the Great's power began to wane.

In the wake of the death of Alexander the Great in 323 bce, Chandragupta (or Chandragupta Maurya), founder of the Mauryan dynasty, conquered the Punjab region from the southeastern edges of Alexander's former empire. The Seleucids, a contending dynasty for Alexander's legacy, attempted to advance into India in 305 bce.
