Haima Deshpande & Caroline Samson
‘Age is just a number, don’t be burdened by its weight’
–Haima Deshpande
A few decades back, Journalism was a male-dominating career. Only a few courageous women took up a career as a Journalist. So, Haima, who was in her twenties, decided to pursue her passion. Little did she know that one day she will become today’s entrepreneur who is shaping up the careers of many. No, she isn’t alone. Like Arjun had Krishna’s back during Mahabharata, similarly, Haima didn’t begin her journey on her own. She has Caroline Samson as Krishna by her side.
During this COVID-19 period, they came up with the idea that apart from their own life, how can they contribute to society? They sat down and thought why not step into the world of entrepreneurship? Of course, it wasn’t as easy as it may sound. But they were determined to head towards this new journey. After discussions that went on for many hours, they finally decided to start a joint venture named ‘Haimadeshpande LLP’.
The aim of starting this company is to create brands, make celebrities of those who are armed with a purpose that serves society. This is a content-driven company aimed at branding the work of those who are otherwise shy to talk about their achievements.
It was not easy for Caroline who had been a marketer for decades, to move out of her comfort zone, by stepping out of her regular 9-5 job, to start something which could have risked her employability. Neither was it easy for Haima, who was a successful journalist and a writer. But as said by Caroline, ‘ Pressure makes diamonds.’ This pushed the two to begin the road which was least travelled.
Along with their aim to help people create their own brand story and use the platform to either climb the corporate ladder or help you boost your brand through our platform, they thought to contribute some percentage of their earnings to charitable causes for senior citizens.
This way, they wanted to work for the betterment of society.
They say that behind every successful man, there’s a woman. But for Caroline and Haima, it was the male-driven society because of which they were constantly pulled down for everything they achieved. No matter how good you are, there is always that one person who will always pull you down no matter how hard you try.
And this is what motivated the two to start their own company.
Haima and Caroline have grown together, they were colleagues, close friends, and now business partners. They are proving that no woman needs a man’s back. It’s you who has to decide what you want from your life. If not you, then somebody else will control it. Their family background had no connection in this business industry, yet they made it big. The reason being, their hard work, and perseverance. Their journey not only encourages women to stand on their own feet but also tells them that nothing is impossible if you have the inner desire to achieve what you want. Now, they are working every day to help people buildup their brands.
Some golden words of wisdom that they wanted to share with the world

It is easy to achieve your dreams if you work with a plan. Make your dreams your reality by giving them energy.
