nnovation is a major directive at corporations worldwide. But how do you drive innovation and growth as the global
business landscape becomes increasingly unpredictable and diverse? Western corporations can no longer just rely
on the old formula that sustained innovation and growth for decades: a mix of top-down strategies, expensive R&D
projects and rigid, highly structured innovation processes. Jugaad Innovation argues that the West must look to
places like India, China, and Africa for a new, bottom-up approach to frugal and flexible innovation.
Building on their deep experience of innovation practices with companies in the US and around the world, the authors
articulate how jugaad (a Hindi word meaning an improvised solution born from ingenuity and cleverness), is leading
to dramatic growth in emerging markets - and how Western companies can adopt jugaad to succeed in our
hypercompetitive world.
Delving into the mindset of jugaad innovators, the authors discuss the six underlying principles and show these
principles in action by sharing previously untold stories of resourceful jugaad entrepreneurs and innovators in
emerging markets. These include the story of Mansukh Prajapati, an Indian villager who invented an affordable fridge
made entirely of clay, and of M-PESA, a service that enables millions of Kenyans to save, spend, and transfer money
using their cell phones without having a bank account.
The authors also describe how forward-thinking Western firms like 3M, Apple, Best Buy, Facebook, GE, Google, IBM,
and PepsiCo are already applying these principles of jugaad to innovate faster, cheaper and better. From Procter &
Gamble's reinvention of its core business model to profitably serve economically marginalised American consumers
to Renault-Nissan's focus on designing cars that cost less but deliver more value, the Western firms profiled in the
book show how you can win by practicing jugaad.
A groundbreaking book, Jugaad Innovation shows leaders everywhere why the time is right for jugaad to emerge as a
powerful business tool in the West - and how to bring the jugaad mindset and practices to their organisations.

Jugaad means a creative idea, a quick, alternate way of solving or fixing problems. Jugaad is very popularly
used inIndiaand now used by many others countries too. So when Joanna Turnbull, managing editor, English
Dictionaries, Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, visited India for the English workshop in Pune, India,[when?] she
made clear that there are many words in English from the Indian usage and Jugaad is one from that[citation needed].
For Example, locally made motor vehicles that are used mostly in small villages as a means of low-cost
transportation in rural India. Jugaad(also sometimesjugard) literally means an improvised arrangement or
work-around, which has to be used because of lack of resources. This is a Hindi term widely used by people
speaking other Indian languages, and by people of Indian origin around the world. The same term is still used
for a type of vehicle, found in rural India, made by carpenters by fitting a diesel engine on a cart.
Jugaadcolloquially means a creative idea, or a quick workaround to get through commercial, logistical, or law
issues. As such, thejugaadmovementhas gathered a community of enthusiasts, believing it to be the proof of
Indian bubbling creativity, or a cost-effective way to solve the issues of everyday life.[1]
Basicallyjugaadis originated from Sanskrit word yukti, colloquial yugatlater converted as jugat, jugad, and
jugaad in modern use.[citation needed] It seems the idea to manage the situation was taken from jugaad as it is an
abstract idea that does not turn into a tangible reality; however, by applying jugaad, the immediate effects of
said abstract idea can be felt and seen on the applied object.

Jugaad carrying passengers to a political rally in Agra, India
Jugaads cost around Rs. 85,000 (less than US$ 2,000). They are powered by diesel engines which were
originally intended to power agriculturalirrigationpumps. They are known for having poor brakes, and can not
go faster than about 60 km/h (37 mph). The vehicle is used to carry more than 20 people at a time in remote
locations and poor road conditions. Today, a jugaad is one of the most cost-effective transportation solutions
for rural Indians.
Though no statistical data is available, it is reported that there are a number of instances of failing brakes,
requiring someone to jump off and manually apply a wooden block as a brake. These vehicles do not have
anyvehicle registration plateas they are not registered with theRegional Transport Office(RTO). Hence,
noroad taxis paid on them.
Jugaad are not officially recognized as road-worthy, and despite a few proposals to regulate them, vote-bankpolitics have time and again trumped any safety concerns. The improvised vehicles have now become rather
popular as a means to transport all manner of burdens, from lumber to steel rods to school children.[2]
[edit]Vehicle variants
A non-motorized Meen Body Vandijugaad-style improvised vehicle, in Tamil Nadu, India.
A variant of this vehicle fromTamil Naduin South India is the Meen Body Vandi. This roughly translates to "fish
bed vehicle" because they originated among local fishermen who needed a quick and cheap transport system
to transport fish. It is a motorized tri-wheeler (derived from the non-motorized variant)[3]with a heavy-duty
suspension and a motorcycle enginetypically recycled from the CzechYezdiorEnfield bulletvehicles. Its
origins are typical of otherJugaadu innovationsdead fish are typically considered unhygienic, and vehicles
that carry them cannot be typically used to carry anything else. There are similar vehicles to be found in much
ofSoutheast Asia.[4]

Jugaad engine being hand-started
Jugaadis also a colloquial Hindi word that can mean an innovative fix or a simple work-around,[5]sometimes
pejoratively used for solutions that bend rules, or a resource that can be used as such, or a person who can
solve a complicated issue. It is used as much to describe enterprising street mechanics as for political fixers.
This meaning is often used to signify creativity to make existing things work or to create new things with
meagre resources.
The jugaad concept can be contrasted with the Western (originally American) concept of ahackorkludge.
Although in its general meaning "hack" is very similar to "jugaad", a jugaad can be thought of more as a
survival tactic, whereas a hack, especially nowadays, is seen an intellectual art form. Both concepts express a
need to do what needs to be done, without regard to what is conventionally supposed to be possible.
Jugaad is increasingly being accepted as amanagementtechnique
[6]
and is recognized all over the world as anacceptable form of frugalengineeringpioneered in India.[7]Companies in India are adopting Jugaad as a
practise to reduceresearch and developmentcosts.[8]Jugaad also applies to any kind of creative and out of the
box thinking which maximizes resources for a company and its stakeholders
