Mumbai: Epic, the flagship channel from IN10 Media Network has announced the launch of an original “Jugaad Mania.” The show will premiere on 28 February at 9 p.m on Epic and Epic On.
The four-part series anchored by actor Chandan K Anand will bring stories such as that of 67-year-old rickshaw driver Kailash Tiwari from Chhattisgarh who installed solar panels on the roof of his three-wheeler. Like him, numerous others have found solutions for day-to-day obstacles.
“We, Indians, are jugaadus by nature. For us, jugaad is not about a "quick fix" but a mindset. A mind set of innovators who find solutions when there seems to be none. We wanted to accentuate stories of such inspiring people via our show,” said Epic AVP – content and strategy Nisha Thakkar.
The channel along with the production house, The Filmsters, shortlisted the stories from hundreds after a long research process.
