Jugaad And Wealth


This ad from Exide Life got me thinking about Jugaad.

When you’re just starting out with next to nothing in hand, there is nothing like jugaad to take you ahead in the money game. With a bit of jugaad you can stretch the money you have to do more,save money to put together capital and use whatever resources you have at hand or lay hands on to get started on doing what you wish to be doing to start making money.
