A lot of the comments here are unnecessarily negative. The author has actually worked with Teams employing "Jugaad" strategy for a decade and knows what he is talking about. I will wager that most people commenting here do not have that experience.
"Jugaad" is a great concept and strategy to adopt in real-life scenarios where you have to make do with what you have got. In these scenarios almost everything is lacking; not enough money, resources (human and capital), education nor Time. "Quality" is always a function of "Cost" which is a function of the above mentioned variables and thus the outcomes will vary based on the project/customer etc. Looked at in this vein, "Jugaad" makes perfect sense. Your expectations have to match reality. The trouble only happens when this mindset is perverted and you start cutting corners everywhere to the detriment of the end result.
- riantogo 6y agoI have employed “Jugaad” for multiple decades. And the comments here are correctly negative. Jugaad is what good people have to do to work a shit system. It leads to utterly unprofessional environments and is a tremendous drag on the overall system.
- superasn 6y agoIn my opinion jugaad isn't always bad. See this for example (1), this is 100% jugaad IMO. It's only bad when you have the resources to do something and yet you choose the shit way to do it.

- rramadass 6y agoI disagree. That is a perversion of the principles and not true "Jugaad". As an example see the success of the "Generic Drug" pharmaceutical industry and how it came to be. https://blogs.deloitte.co.uk/health/2020/03/the-indian-pharmaceutical-industry-the-pharmacy-of-the-world.html https://blogs.deloitte.co.uk/health/2020/03/the-indian-pharm...
