Why did you pick this name? Vela is a popular hinglish slang.

Vella" (वेल्ला) is a North Indian/Delhi slang term for someone who is lazy, jobless, or has nothing productive to do (an idler or couch potato). Often used in Hinglish, it describes a person wasting time, similar to the word "loser" or someone with no work.

But it also allows our customers to be lazy :).
