Constraints—like limited resources or fierce competition—often push us to think differently and develop resourceful solutions. A great example is India’s concept of "Jugaad" innovation, where economical yet effective solutions emerge from everyday challenges. It’s a powerful reminder that innovation isn't always about having more—it’s about making the most of what you have. Learn more: Wieldex: https://lnkd.in/dpYwxUbG #InnovationFact
