An Indian entrepreneur's whirlwind seven-day sprint to learn French before launching a company in Switzerland is being cheered for India's "jugaad" spirit like never before. The story of Akash narrated by a French tutor Bianca Lala starts with an enquiry of booking for online classes. But what followed left her stunned enough to post about it, and the clip has since snowballed into a full-blown internet sensation.
Bianca recalls getting a message from a man she'd never spoken to before, asking to book seven and a half hours of French lessons, in a single day. Convinced it had to be some kind of mix-up, she messaged him to double-check. His reply floored her: he had a company launch in Switzerland lined up in exactly one week, and wanted to learn French before that.
