Anand Mahindra's tweet proves Indians have the best 'jugaads' to every problem - Watch

Indians are known for their jugaadu ideas to get things done. Recently a woman came up with an innovative jugaad to beat the heat by coating her car with cow dung. Photos of the 'cooling hack' had gone viral on social media. 

Now, Anand Mahindra took to Twitter to share a video of another innovative jugaad

. The video, now viral, shows a cot bed, known as khatiya or charpai, attached to a construction vehicle.

While sharing the video, Mahindra said, "I think the phrase ‘Necessity is the mother of invention’ was invented by Indians! Here's a new product our Farm & Construction sectors will have to consider as a replacement for an excavator: A ‘Khatiya-vator’."

Watch the viral video here:

 

 

The 39-second video has received close to 1.5 lakh views and more than 15,000 likes. Here's how netizens reacted:

 

 

One user wrote, "Every problem has a solution! Super like."

 

 

Another user, while sharing one more invention using the cot bed, said, "Our farmers have invented one more than one."

 

 

A third user commented, "This is not surprising...My father made a  cooler with an oil cane which costs only 250 rupees. And the interesting thing is that this cooler gives much cooling than a Symphony cooler.
And as it works with solar energy, it saves electricity bill."

 

 

Yet another explained how jugaads

lead to innovation, "Jugaad is going to keep innovators on their toes! Power of 1.2 BN brains - innovation can come from anywhere! Key is to device methods to capture these jugaads from the field systematically and make them mainstream if viable."
