The TikTok video by @rinkal_dhillion went viral not only on the app, but on other social media platforms as well, with Mahindra saying he received it on WhatsApp. Sharing the video as his daily dose of #WhatAppWonderBox, used for highlighting out-of-the-box thinking, he wrote, “This person spent just ₹2 to rig this door closure versus ₹1500 for a hydraulic one! How do we channel this creativity so that we move from Jugaad to Jhakaas!”
My #whatsappwonderbox is filled with examples of modest, but out-of-the-box thinking applied to everyday problems. This person spent just ₹2 to rig this door closure versus ₹1500 for a hydraulic one! How do we channel this creativity so that we move from Jugaad to Jhakaas! pic.twitter.com/azla5WoyjI
The tweet garnered a lot of attention online and others pointed out that a single-use plastic bottle can also be reused.
Juggar technology really works. Out of box thinking indeed! https://t.co/u1gHWtgITt

Best jugaad of all time when you’r tired of saying ” Darwaza band karo AC chal raha hai”
create a Jugaad Incubator where people with no resources or no exposure can show up there creativity with the tools they require and help them make that innovation scale-able.
INDUSTRIALIST like your stature can spend a lot on R&D in collaboration with these inventors and may achieve some thing remarkable . ONLY ‘TWEETING’ can’t help https://t.co/O3rYTZajjB
Let us have a portal where such “entries” can be uploaded. Slowly it will become populated. Keeping an option of making some payment to the “innovator”, if used. Although it can’t be policed but I’m sure most would pay. Better than surfing FB/Amazon.
Commence with a compilation of ‘jugaad’ found all over the country. Evalute the collection based on creativity & cost effectiveness . Reward creativity & see how many have possibilities for commercial application- keep people as a part of it.
Who says that plastic is not reusable? With a plastic bottle, you can make a bulb out of it and a rig to close the door. It’s a vast horizon to explore how to utilize those plastic bottles in a productive way, we just need to brainstorm our creative minds and become the change!
We used to do that in the college hostel room.
