To prepare for a better future, Devita pursued an Online Program Management course from the Harvard Business School. After this, she decided to form her own television company. She founded Vu Televisions in 2006. It is an Indian electronics company that manufactures LED TVs and other televisions. It is amongst the top 10 largest-selling TV brands across e-commerce platforms in India.

During an earlier interview, Devita said that she moved back from America to make new technology products for India. The founder of Vu Televisions observed that premium products are usually made by foreign companies, while Indian manufacturers are dependent on cheap products.

To provide something unique in her product, Devita created an advanced TV by combining the features of TV and computers. In this, D2H channels including YouTube, and OTT platforms can also be enjoyed. The business took some time to bloom, as it was a luxurious product which was not bought by many people in India.
