India is a land of invention, India is also a land of innovation and but not many people know that India is land of "Jugaad". Wikipedia defines jugaad as "Jugaad (Hindi: जुगाड़) means a creative idea, a quick,
alternative way of solving or fixing problems. Jugaad is very popularly
used in India
and now used by many others countries too".
India is filled with cleverness, doing more with less. And there are ash heaps filled with clever ideas that failed for many reasons. In many ways the India has become obsessed with innovation and "out of the box" thinking. In India Jugaad is out of box solution to problem using locally available resources.
For example, a typical Indian middle class family six people, when they want to go out together, they have their own jugaad of six people adjusting comfortably on a bike or scooter for smooth ride. When Ratan Tata saw one typical middle class outing on the bike, he came up with an innovative idea of coming with a car under on lack rupees. He hired the best engineers form best engineering college "IIT" and they were assigned the task of coming up with words cheapest car. The team came up world's cheapest car "Nano". The is one of the greatest innovative invention of Modern India.
There many other examples also where Indian Jugaad lead to invention of something very innovative.
