Maitri Jariwala
Founder at Kalla | Sustainable Design Enthusiast | Eco-friendly Innovator

As the founder of Kalla, I am dedicated to transforming discarded temple flowers into beautiful gifting and aromatherapy products. With a background in sustainable design and experience in the sustainable industry, I launched Kalla to promote eco-friendly living and reduce waste 2 years back in 2022. Our products, including incense sticks, dhoop cones, soap bars, foot soaks, essential oils, candles, and aroma tags, infuse spirituality into daily life while supporting a greener planet.

At Kalla, we embrace resourcefulness, creativity, and community engagement, believing in the power of frugal innovation. Our vision is to become a leading sustainable brand in India, inspiring others to adopt eco-friendly practices. Each product tells a story of transformation, enhancing the lives of our customers and demonstrating the beauty in repurposing.

My work at Kalla allows me to combine my love for design and sustainability, leading a team dedicated to positive environmental and social impact. I am passionate about advocating for sustainable living and regularly participate in events and workshops to spread awareness and learn from others.

As we grow, my goal is to expand Kalla’s reach, introducing more people to the benefits of sustainable living and creating a more environmentally conscious world. Connect with me to discuss sustainable design, innovative entrepreneurship, or Kalla's mission and products. Together, we can make the world a greener, more fragrant place.

More stories on eChai

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
