I noticed the word 'jugaad' from his speech and looked it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugaad

It seems like a very befitting word for the eponymous "hacker" ethos of this site.

But the same word has also been over used to provide cover or respectability for all types of anti-patterns from poor planning, to lack of any safety net or margins, to cutting corners, disregard for standards and regulations, and hustle culture where the ends justify means however questionable.

So a pinch of salt needed when we hear this word.
