My #whatsappwonderbox is filled with examples of modest, but out-of-the-box thinking applied to everyday problems. This person spent just ₹2 to rig this door closure versus ₹1500 for a hydraulic one! How do we channel this creativity so that we move from Jugaad to Jhakaas! pic.twitter.com/azla5WoyjI

What was the video about? The TikTok video, shared on Twitter, shows a plastic bottle filled with water hanging right outside the closed door. Every time an individual passes through the door, it closes on its own due to the weight of the bottle.
The 64-year-old business tycoon praised the out-of-the-box thinking applied to everyday problems that solved the problem in ₹2 instead pf ₹1,500 on a hydraulic system.
Anand Mahindra’s tweet goes this way: “My #whatsappwonderbox is filled with examples of modest, but out-of-the-box thinking applied to everyday problems. This person spent just ₹2 to rig this door closure versus ₹1,500 for a hydraulic one! How do we channel this creativity so that we move from Jugaad to Jhakaas!”

After all these, we should understand and learn to respect the creativity of all types of brain work. Never forget that we Indians are popular for this ‘jugaad’ creations and thus, every such innovation is a discovery.
Not all people have the luxury to own everything, so it then calls for some for ‘jugaad’ in the limited resources that you have! And, well let’s just appreciate we have honorable men who also embrace this creativity.
