Differentiating Frugal Innovation, disruptive innovation and ground-breaking innovation ..

Disruptive Innovation over
postal services

Frugal (Gandhian) innovation

Frugal innovation (also called Gandhian Innovation) is innovation which reached more people, with more features, at less cost.

Disruptive Innovation (path-breaking) is offering more features (not essentially reaching more people) at less cost

Ground-breaking innovation

Ground-breaking innovation is innovation that shatters existing principles of sciences and logic of human thinking, for example mitticool, the zero energy refrigerator for the masses..

The coming years, the most exciting
innovative work will be in the realm of ground-breaking innovation and most of that will come from developing countries that face a great constraint on resources.
