They say “Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.” We think this quote describes Deshpee the best. Vedarth and our team are otherwise just a bunch of young people. But when we work together, we leave no stone unturned in doing the very best.

In somewhat ‘chaotic’ first 2 years of operations, we had achieved a little but learnt a lot. We took all our employees to Goa, India to celebrate the 2nd birthday. We knew we had a long way to go, but as always, we were ready for the future.
November, 2016
Considering the need for better branding, we renamed ‘deshp’ to ‘Deshpee’. Also, Floma finally came out of the beta phase and was now a real startup chasing its dreams of helping the Indian interior design industry.

March, 2016
As our companies were doing fine, we started thinking about how we can give back to the society. Vedarth being not native to Pune, decided to do something for the city that will benefit it for long. Hence, we decided to focus on environment conservation.
15th August, 2015
As we were having quite a few social media clients, many started asking if we can do more. So we launched Trigacy Digital in August 2015 which promised to deliver SEO, web design and app development services. It took a long time to get the first client for Trigacy though.
10th December, 2014
As clients from Socinova started increasing, Vedarth decided to finally get an office space. Vedarth had never worked in any company, never even gave an interview. The first interview he was into was the one he was taking. That interview was of Shri. Virendra Khade, the first employee of deshp. He had decided in 2011 only that he’ll call his company ‘deshp’.
October, 2014
Still working from home on his laptop and handling social media clients, Vedarth was also working on an eCommerce version of the Floma website. He initially got it done from another company but they messed it up, so he had to get it redone. He says he didn’t have any idea what to do with Floma next.
30th June, 2014
After a lot of here and there, Socinova was finally launched on 30th June, the birthday of Rucha, his sister. He recalls that when he went to talk to Shri. Ganesh Jagadale for building Socinova, he had already decided not to do it. But while talking to him, he himself got too excited and decided to launch it anyway!
April, 2014
Since joining Fiverr, Vedarth literally did a hundred things online. He tried to be a freelancer, doing any type of work he used to find. From writing to listing products on eBay, etc. Then one day, one client from Canada asked Vedarth if he could handle his Facebook account. And Vedarth said yes.
17th, December, 2013
Vedarth started doing all he could to sell the clocks. From meeting the sellers in Dhule & Pune to listing the clocks on eBay and Amazon, he tried all he could. Though he did sell some 100 clocks, it wasn’t anything big. But while he was looking for a Facebook ads coupon to promote Floma, he found Fiverr- a freelancing website.
November, 2013
After what he called an ‘horrifying & blood-sucking’ time of 3 months, the first set of clocks were manufactured. Now he had the products, but no knowledge about selling them. But the show had to go on. Interestingly, the tagline of the Floma brand was suggested by his sister, Rucha Deshpande.
6th June, 2013
He thought maybe he’ll find something to do here, and boy he did. Here, he thought of creating ‘customised wall clocks’ which can be produced using the CNC machine and started working on it. This is where ‘World of Floma’ was born.
February, 2013
Yes, it was as weird as it sounds now. Having decided to do something else than Amway, Vedarth was looking for something start. From the many ‘out of the box’ ideas, he thought of going ahead with this one with his uncle, Shri. Vyankatesh Joshi. But it didn’t work out due to the lack of capital and expertise.
June, 2010
On this day, at the age of 15, Vedarth finally got to start a ‘business of his own’. His mother, Mrs. Vaidehi Deshpande helped him in this. Being an ABO taught him how to talk to people and handle sales meetings. Though he didn’t succeed in this venture, he calls it the official launch of his ‘entrepreneurial spirit’.
Sometime, 2007
Being 12 years old and still in the 7th grade, Vedarth hardly had any idea about what money or business was. He says that due to his father, Shri. Shriram Deshpande, and this book, he started thinking about doing business. He was ‘anyway’ going to be a Chartered Accountant, but the curiosity of ‘earning money’ started here.
