About the Innovation

Sanket Panchal noticed a common challenge faced by tea vendors at train stations, bus stops, tourist areas, and corporate buildings—limited space made it difficult to serve tea and handle payments efficiently. During a Summer School Camp at SRISTI, he worked on a solution and developed a Bag-Type Insulated Tea Urn, a portable, hands-free tea dispenser that allows vendors to serve tea more easily in crowded areas. The design includes a cup-holder attached with belts for convenience and four bottom pockets to carry extra toppings for customers. After sharing the idea with tea vendors and other potential users, he received encouraging feedback, leading him to refine the product for the market. Made from food-grade material at a low cost, the dispenser is lightweight and practical, helping vendors move around freely while serving tea more efficiently in busy environments.
