Navrang Cube


Dr. Mandi gave the concept of Navrang Cube puzzle. It is one of the most important concepts and if implemented in our lives, can solve most of our problems



It consists of 27 small cubes of 9 different colors. Contrary to a Rubik’s cube which has 6 colours, Navrang has 9 colours. The cube is made of 27 coloured detachable cubes in sets of 3. 

The task is to arrange the blocks of the cube in such a way that each face has 9 different colours. This looks like a very complex task and if tried in a random way will not result into any solution. Mandi sir taught us a very easy way to solve this puzzle and apply the same concept while facing any dilemmas in life. 

The key management lessons from this are as follows:
  • Each Problem can be solved by systematic thinking.
  • Each Block represents an entity (Labor, Machine etc.) in an organization and is to be assembled in a structured and hierarchical way like the above process, so efficiency is maximum.
  • Two blocks of the same color may represent people who don't gel well with each other and hence while forming a team, a structured approach is necessary.
