A video of a water bottle door closer was shared by Anand Mahindra.
A video of a creative door closer, made with the help of a water bottle, has gone viral online after being shared by business tycoon Anand Mahindra. Mr Mahindra, who often gives a shout-out to innovations that exemplify the Indian spirit of jugaad, praised the door closer and its inventor while sharing the video.
"My #whatsappwonderbox is filled with examples of modest, but out-of-the-box thinking applied to everyday problems," he wrote."This person spent just Rs 2 to rig this door closure versus Rs 1500 for a hydraulic one! How do we channel this creativity so that we move from Jugaad to Jhakaas!"
The video, which was originally posted on the video sharing app TikTok, shows a bottle filled with water hung above a door. The no-frills, low-cost door closer gets the job done, however, by shutting the door after people exit.
Take a look at the video below:
The jugaad door closer was admired by many on Twitter for its ingenuity.
This isn't the first time that Mr Mahindra's reliable 'WhatsApp Wonder Box' has received jugaad videos that have won praise from the billionaire businessman. Last month, it was a khatiya or a bed being used as an excavator that caught his attention, and before that, a 'kela konveyor' to transfer bananas.
