My name is Devan Mongia, and I am deeply passionate about packaging and printing. From an early age, I found myself drawn to the beauty of art and design — whether it was Van Gogh’s Starry Night, Banksy's thought-provoking street art, Tarantino’s cinematic masterpieces, Christian Bale’s transformative performances, Salman Rushdie’s literary brilliance, Beethoven’s symphonies, Steve McCurry’s evocative photography, and many more.

Fortunately, as I grew older, I found a way to intertwine art and design into my life via the craft of printing and packaging. I couldn’t imagine any profession more suitable than this — I am truly grateful for everything.

I am mesmerized by how art transcends into the real world through printing, with spectacular designs captivating millions of eyes every day. Witnessing this process never fails to move me.

I believe it is my mission to make Packaging and Printing more interactive and design-friendly in the coming era, while also embracing sustainability as an essential pillar for the future. I firmly believe that the packaging industry must play a pivotal role in fostering environmental responsibility without compromising on aesthetics and functionality.

I'm not just a dreamer but a realist too. I can confidently say this because I have undertaken in-depth studies in Design, Polymer Science, Printing, and Packaging. However, theory can only take you so far, right?

My on-site experience is just as enriching as my theoretical knowledge.

"I have worked with many renowned packaging companies to gain hands-on experience in the dynamic field of printing and packaging." My role encompassed everything from Pre-press to Post-press — from designing and making files print-ready to overseeing finishes like embossing, foiling, UV coating, varnishing, and whatever else the industry demands. I have also collaborated closely with vendors on die-cutting, lamination, and box prototyping processes, ensuring structural precision and premium quality output. Additionally, I have managed quality checks and coordinated with suppliers for sourcing the finest raw materials like specialty papers and eco-friendly substrates.

With my profound love for this industry, I decided to establish the very company you are now exploring — Kalaa Packaging Company.

I truly consider this journey to be a love affair.

What is my business? What does it mean to me?

Kalaa Packaging Company is not just a business — it is an extension of my artistic vision. It is the meeting point of creativity, craftsmanship, and purpose. To me, packaging is more than just a protective shell — it is a canvas where design meets functionality, and where brands communicate their identity to the world. Every box, every pouch, every label, and every merchandise item holds the power to tell a story, and I feel privileged to be a storyteller in this realm.

Apart from packaging, Kalaa Packaging Company also brings custom-printed lifestyle and merchandise items like T-shirts, mugs, coasters, caps, and more to life — making art and customization accessible to everyone, whether for promotional branding or personal expression.
