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.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"I have evolved from role of Community Builder to Startup Consultant to Startup Ecosystem Enabler to Angel Investor and now launching a Venture Studio and eChai has been a catalyst in my overall journey as Startup Evangelist since 13 years."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.
