Indians are often considered as the masters of jugaad. A man, who hitched a free ride using Zomato, showcased that skill perfectly. Stuck on the road around midnight with no autos in sight and cab fares too high, the man thought of a jugaad. He decided to order food from Zomato. If you think it was to sit by the road and eat while waiting for someone to give him a lift, you’re wrong. He had a plan in mind.
