Many workers in India labor for 17 hours a day just to make ends meet, which leaves little time for socialization, enjoyment or periods of rest. To address this, Chakra Tea created a [unique tea kettle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luna-electric-kettle) that boasts the ability to generate WiFi in the process of making tea. To do this, the kettle simply uses the energy from a [burning stove](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midea-celestial-flex-series) and turns it into WiFi for workers, who are then able to enjoy [music, movies, sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gptea-set) and more, or even a phone call via the Internet to a friend or loved one. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Chai-fi Technology:** Opportunity for companies to create a line of Chai-Fi compatible products that utilize energy generation technology to power WiFi-enabled devices. - **Energy Conversion Innovation:** Innovation opportunities for companies that can create products which can convert energy from most household or commercial processes into a useful commodity such as WiFi. - **Productivity-boosting Appliances:** There is a considerable opportunity for companies which can create productivity-boosting household or commercial appliances that can multi-task and achieve more than the functions for which they were originally designed. ### Who This Affects Most - **Tea and Kitchen Appliances:** Companies which sell tea and kitchen appliances produce a considerable opportunity for the Chai-Fi kettle, which can easily integrate with other similar products. - **Hospitality and Travel:** There is considerable application domain for Chai-Fi technology as part of a complementary service offering in hospitality and travel. - **Technology:** Chai-Fi technology could attract significant interest from technology companies looking to integrate this technology into their IoT ecosystems/products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Connected Kitchen Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-smart-electric-gooseneck-kettle.md) - [Smart Tea-Brewing Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaibot.md) - [Herbal Tea Vaporizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-tea-kettle.md) - [Tumbler-Inspired Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-travel-kettle.md) - [Automated Chai Tea Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dostea-tea-machine.md) - [Tranquil Calming Kettle Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-kettle.md) - [Relaxing Countertop Tea Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-tea-maker.md) - [Customizable Connected Tea Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-tea-pot.md) - [Stacked Tea Kettle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stacked-tea-kettle.md)
