Vodcast #006 - Jugaad by Sunaina Vij (blog)

Welcome! The guest speaker of this episode is Sunaina, our featured Growth Catalyst specializing in facilitating Cultural Intelligence (CQ), who is going to share with us an Indian philosophy - Jugaad. The concept of Jugaad helps Indians navigate through problems, no matter big or small, short-term or long-term.

Jugaad, in essence, means creating opportunities under adversity with limited resources. This spirit is well demonstrated by Indians due to a booming population but insufficient resources. Against this situation, Indians are good at formulating strategies & planning to make things work.

If you are interested in Indian culture or Jugaad, this video is just for you.
