About this listen

In this episode, members of the SWE Asian Connections Affinity Group discuss jugaad, a concept rooted in resourcefulness and frugal innovation, and how it applies in STEM spaces. Host Riddhi Attarde, lead-elect, is joined by Vidhya Prabhu, lead, and Uma Veeramani, member, to explore how engineers can use a jugaad mindset to find solutions when time or resources are limited. Drawing from their experiences in digital transformation in India, they reflect on how jugaad has helped them solve problems in creative ways without cutting corners. Hear how engineers can embrace jugaad within structured organizations, why it often starts with small pilots and experiments, and how Gen Z is putting its own spin on jugaad.
