Jugaad creations fascinated media, nationalists took affront at India's innovation / patent ranking with the argument that innovations do exist in plenty only they are missed out , while consultants floated a new business line of jugaad/ frugal innovation model. While happy with positive references to India many cautioned on Irrational exuberance on innovation front. Japan developed Technology Absorption model, Korea had Creative Imitaion and China-Secondary innovations as articulated models to move up in the value chain. Once it became clear India needs systematic innovation , India adopted Demand side innovation framework.
Author, Journalist, Dinesh Sharma also takes the view that jugaad is not innovation. He lists 100 innovations, including those in Governance, Public Utilities and Law. In digital age we will be seeing many more innovations in this space.
