Description:"...The author lays bare the perils of going for short term life hacks and how it can possibly harm development and progress.
While giving examples of jugaad from Indian mythological stories and from Mahabharata, the author makes a telling point that jugaad was necessitated in a new country that emerged after a traumatic partition into a world where it was to develop its foot hold in the development sector. The anecdotes shared by India’s top industrialists who started out by making the best of what they have in hand to the professional attitude taken by another industrialist adds a nice touch of balance.
I found the book an engrossing read with very its insights into the socio politics and cultural fabric of India. I would recommend it for readers who love to read non fiction." - Chitra Ahanthem
