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 no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

Syed Nadeem Jafri

Founder, Hearty Mart

"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."

Shalin (Shawn) Parikh

Founder, MyCPE One

"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."
