When it comes to work, women have a lot more to do than men. Unfortunately, when it comes to tech innovations, most of them are designed with men in mind. That said, there are a few marvellous pieces of technology that would help the busy mums organise their day better.
Here is a list of 5 amazing tech innovations that mums would really appreciate.
1# Rotimatic
Most of us would have seen this brilliant device on social media. Rotimatic, an amazing tech by Zimplistic, is a brainchild of Pranoti Nagarkar. You need to fill aata, oil and water in dedicated containers and this superb device will print out garam rotis! You can vary the oil and thickness levels to suit your preferences.
This will free up your time spent in making the dough and you can have fresh, hot rotis on your table.
This comes at a price tag of USD 999, which may seem to be a bit steep for a roti maker. But, it is the price many of us pay for the latest phones nowadays.

2# Leaf by Bella beat
You may have heard a lot about fitness trackers. You may even be using one. For the uninitiated, a fitness tracker would keep a track of your activity, sleep and may give you some suggestions. It is an ideal way to plan your fitness routine or just keep a tab on your health in general.
Unfortunately, most of these wearables do not go well with your outfits. Leaf by Bellabeat is a beautiful fitness tracker that will go equally well with your sari as it will go with your office wear.
The Leaf can be worn as a brooch, a pendant or as a wrist jewellery.
This marvellous tech comes with a proprietary app that helps you keep a tab of your daily exercise and most importantly, your sleep. It will let you know if you have been inactive at work for a long time. It also gives you an indication of your next period and helps you plan your days better.
The range starts from USD 119.99.

3# Smart watches
The once ugly smart watches have started coming in sleek designs that go well with your daily outfits. A smart watch will sync with your phone and let you access the necessary things without taking your phone out. You can answer calls, read texts and use a few apps on the watch.
In the standby mode, you can toggle between an analogue and a digital display and swap straps for a formal meeting or a fun party.
It also tracks your steps and sleep patterns. The additional heart rate monitor would add to your fitness tracking.
There are a lot of watches to choose from, and you can spend as little or as much as you want to!

4# Prepd Pack- The smart lunch box
This is something you can get for yourself and for your husband. Prepd pack is a smart lunch box that packs food in leak-proof microwave safe containers. Unlike Tupperware, this is compact and has a better feel to it. The sleep design will fit nicely in your bag, and you won’t have to carry those annoying tiffins anymore.
It comes with an app that helps you plan meals. As this is a western concept, the recipes would not be Indian, strictly speaking. However, you can encourage your husband to try out a few, and if you are lucky, you may get a ready made lunch box a few times a week!
This is still in the funding phase, and you can get a good deal if you contribute towards it.

5# Lightphone
To be perfectly honest, this is only for those who see value in it. Don’t look at it as a feature-packed paisa wasool phone. This is going to free up your life. There cannot be a price tag put on it!
Smartphones have started taking up a lot of our time. We pick it up every time it beeps and it is affecting our life. It reduces concentration and makes tasks harder than they should be. Dinner conversations have become rarer with everyone staring at their phones nowadays.
There are a few who realise this, and Lightphone is for them!
Lightphone is your phone away from your phone. It is a slim, credit card sized extension of your phone. In the words of the creator, it offers a contact without unwanted rings, dings or pings. Using an app on your existing smartphone, it will forward only necessary calls to this phone. It also works as a standalone phone when your battery dies out.
What more, it is designed to be used as little as possible, and you can make and receive calls on it. That’s it! No texts, no emails, no need for internet!
It is available for preorder for just USD 100. You can live life as freely as you lived before the smartphones invaded it!
