About

Devanshi Padsala is the creative strategist behind some of the most thoughtful emerging brands. As the founder of Gulabi Mango, a women-led creative agency, she has worked with over 50 brands to bring their stories to life through design that is both beautiful and deeply intentional. Her journey started with a master’s degree in Information Technology. Graduating during a wave of tech layoffs, Devanshi took a leap of faith and launched Gulabi Mango by offering website development. As she worked closely with founders, she noticed a significant gap in design and branding for emerging businesses. What began as web design quickly evolved into a full-service creative agency offering branding, social media, and marketing solutions for CPG, wellness, hospitality, tech, and media industries. Devanshi has grown Gulabi Mango into a profitable, multi-member agency without external funding. Her work has helped clients land on retail shelves, grow loyal communities, and build brands rooted in story and culture. She is creating meaningful platforms for underrepresented founders to lead with clarity, creativity, and confidence.
