Connect with the Street-Smart and Creative People at Jugaadu

I must admit that when I saw Jugaadu, I couldn’t help but admire its colorful design and theme. Just by the logo alone, one can immediately feel what it is trying to project – a fun, collaborative space for people of all types. Jugaadu’s header alone is enough to make you feel light-hearted. I love the cartoonish caricature on the banner.

Anyway Jugaadu may seem like your usual social networking site with a weird name. But then, the weird name more than speaks for what the social networking site is all about. Jugaadu comes from the Indian concept of Jugaad, which refers to inventiveness, ingenuity and cleverness. As such, Jugaadu as a social networking aims to establish itself as a venue for the CREATIVE and RESOURCEFUL users to congregate, interact, challenge each other on meaningful discussion and information exchange.

Jugaadu is geared for the street-smart people who thinks innovatively, take up real life challenges and solves them into the most resourceful way. Like the old saying goes, Like minded people think alike.The best thing about Jugaadu is the way it puts a challenging aspect to social networking and interacting.

Jugaadu is categorized into three groups which speak of what you can do at the site. It lets you Post a Jugaad, Launch an Idea or new concept and Post a Solution or Challenges.

If you think that you are smart, and you’re up for the intellectual challenge or battle of wits then you might want to become a member Jugaadu.
