As a well-known tea brand, Chakra Tea set out to create a way to infuse work breaks with fun and entertainment with the Chai-Fai tea kettle.
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 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 and turns it into WiFi for workers, who are then able to enjoy music, movies, sports and more, or even a phone call via the Internet to a friend or loved one.
