Jugaad Is Not Innovation. Here's the Real Difference | EP25

Pinaki Bhowmick started as a programmer in 1999, moved through consulting at Tech Mahindra and Wipro, and in 2018 founded DX&Beyond, where he works as a “player coach” — an outside expert whose real job is to leave the organization stronger, not dependent on him.

In this episode, Rohan Patil sits down with Pinaki to unpack the difference between jugaad and real innovation, why so many hackathons are “innovation theater,” and what four currencies every GCC in India is already sitting on.

Guest Bio Pinaki Bhowmick is the Founder of DX&Beyond, an innovation consultancy built around what he calls the PlayerCoach model. Over 27 years, he’s worked as a programmer, project manager, and principal consultant at Tech Mahindra and Wipro before starting his own practice, running interventions across BFSI, manufacturing, telecom, healthcare, and GCCs.
