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

"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.

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."
