Anand Mahindra has always been appreciative of Indian ‘Jugaad’ system. The business tycoon has tweeted multiple videos demonstrating ingenuity in the Indian worker class. In his recent Tweet, the Mahindra Group Chairman shared a video of farmers using a bike to separate kernels from the corn.

The farmers are then using the bike’s suspended rear tyre to peel kernels from a mountain of corn. The farmers use friction from the bike’s tyre to effectively detach the kernels.

In the tweet by Anand Mahindra, he stated, “I constantly receive clips showing how creatively our farming communities turn bikes & tractor into multi-tasking machines. Here’s one application I never would have dreamed of."

He went on to make a cheesy joke on the company Continental Tire. His tweet further added, “Maybe @continentaltire should have a special brand named ‘Corntinental?’"
