What if the simplest ideas could create the biggest global impact? This powerful question set the tone for an inspiring and thought-provoking afternoon as FLO Indore hosted LeanSpark – a landmark session that blended simple thinking with global vision. The event focused on the renewed belief that one simple, well-executed idea, rooted in Indian frugality and scaled with global thinking, has the power to shape the future.
The speakers started the conversation with four powerful pillars – Execution, Simplicity, Scalability, and Sustainability. They shared how mothers and homemakers have always been the original innovators — instinctively turning everyday challenges into clever “jugaad” solutions. Yet, they emphasized that while jugaad sparks the idea, structure and discipline are essential to scale it into something globally relevant.
The session was graced by Mr. Jaideep Prabhu, professor at the University of Cambridge and globally renowned authority on “Frugal Innovation,” and Dr. Priyank Narayan, Associate Professor at Ashoka University. “Hire lazy people,” the speakers suggested, “because they will find the smartest way to get maximum results with minimum resources.”
