Urmila Mohan is an anthropologist who established the Jugaad Project, an open platform for publishing articles on material culture.

Here are some of the topics covered in our conversation:

• The meaning of jugaad as everyday innovation
• The need for an open global platform to share articles in material culture
• How published articles benefit their subjects
• Prayer beads as spiritual technology that is only partly replaced by fidget spinners
• Articles on bamboo weaving in Java and the infrastructure of Durga Puja in India
