How was Alexander the Great significant to the development to the Mauryan Empire?

Alexander's brief incursion into the west of the Indian subcontinent disrupted the local power structure and made the inexorable Mauryan expansion westward that much easier. If the story of Alexander' intent to go east and conquer all India to the ocean is correct, he is fortunate that his soldiers decided to go home, otherwise the Mauryan steam roller moving west would have destroyed him.
