New Book Reimagines Jugaad for Global Innovation
Three authors have written a new book called 'LeanSpark'.
It talks about how India's smart and cheap ways of solving problems can help businesses and organizations around the world.
The book shows that you don't need a lot of money to create great things.
It gives examples of how people in India are building rockets, medical devices, and other important things with very little money.
The book also talks about how to make these ideas work on a big scale without hurting the planet.
It's for anyone who wants to build something amazing without spending a lot or being unethical.
Authors Jaideep Prabhu, Mukesh Sud, and Priyank Narayan present a modern framework blending frugality and adaptability in 'LeanSpark'.
The book demonstrates how India's frugal innovation model can inspire global organizations to innovate faster and reduce costs.
Examples include building rockets, medical devices, and creating lean financial and mobility systems on shoestring budgets.
Key concepts include lean execution, purposeful simplicity, adaptive scalability, and systemic sustainability.
The book argues that the future of innovation lies in turning scarcity into strength, not in big budgets or advanced labs.
