Page i Praise for Jugaad Innovation ‘‘We are entering an age when humanity’s grand challenges are being solved by a new generation of ‘do-it-yourself’ innovators employing jugaad-style thinking. Today the entrepreneurial spirit of your very own employees, customers, and partners—empowered by new technologies—can literally change the world. X PRIZE has proven the value of jugaad by leveraging this bottom-up approach of ‘better, faster, cheaper’ to the point of sending a man into space for a fraction of what NASA spends. This compelling new book, Jugaad Innovation, articulates how you can start to accomplish amazing things on a shoestring. It is a vital read.’’ —Peter H. Diamandis, founder and chairman, X PRIZE Foundation ‘‘Jugaad Innovation throws cold water in the faces of CEOs, reminding them of the immense power of grass-roots, do-it-yourself, cheap, quick, simple innovation. This is one of the most important lessons that emerging markets are teaching the West.’’ —George F. Colony, CEO, Forrester Research ‘‘Jugaad Innovation goes farther than conventional business books that chart consumer growth in Brazil, Russia, India, and China. It explains how emerging economies are pioneering the art of ‘frugal engineering,’ then provides practical tips on how Western companies—from tech startups to multinational industrial corporations—can likewise do more with less. A provocative and entertaining read for 21st century business leaders.’’ —Carlos Ghosn, CEO, Renault-Nissan ‘‘The authors have it right: highly structured innovation processes can’t deliver all the breakthroughs required by today’s ‘speed of business.’ What’s called for are new practices that work with—not against—the forces that drive our hypercompetitive world.

  • Frugal Innovation'
    Yi in partnership with CII and Hachette organized the 1st national learning series for the year 2015-16 on the topic, 'Frugal Innovation'. Wiki tells us that Frugal Innovation or Frugal Engineering is the process of reducing the complexity and cost of a good and its production. Usually this refers to removing nonessential features from a durable good, such as a car or phone, in order to sell it in developing countries. Designing products for such countries may also call for an increase in durability and, when selling the products, reliance on unconventional distribution channels. In the global business landscape, increasingly dened by trends such as the sharing economy and the maker movement, companies the world over are facing pressure from consumers, employees, and governments to create and deliver rst-rate, affordable and sustainable products and services using less energy, less capital and less time. This has led to the development of a new model for business success: FRUGAL INNOVATION or the ability to do more and better with less. Navi Radjou and Jaideep Prabhu, Authors of the book 'FRUGAL INNOVATION – HOW TO DO BETTER WITH LESS' were the main speakers in this national learning series which also had senior industrialists and thought leaders join with them for panel discussion across the cities of New Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Coimbatore. In this seminal book on a revolutionary worldwide phenomenon, innovation experts Navi Radjou and Jaideep Prabhu chronicle the rise of a frugal economy in the US, Europe and Japan and show how the world's top companies across sectors; American Express, Ford, GE, IBM, Levi Strauss, Marks & Spencer, Novartis, Pearson, PepsiCo, Renault-Nissan, Siemens and Unilever – are achieving great success by embedding frugality into their business models and corporate culture.
