Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Joanna Deepika: Looking back, For as long as I can remember I have always been a curious cat, exploring and wanted to establish something for myself.
Growing up in a family that was always looking for an excuse to celebrate was a blast- Trust me, Reasons like “because we’re family” or “the moon is shining brightly”, "the sun went down and clouds came out", were always enough to bring the party out.
There comes my justification to starting an event styling firm. I am now working towards finding excuses to bring people together and bring back the energy, excitement and happiness that has always been a part of these celebrations.
After several fail attempts of trying out different elements, I realized that my weird combination of interests and talent was a strength, not a liability. And so, although I suck at drawing, I decided to tread the creative path of life. 10 years ago, I was just getting out of school and decided I wanted to start something of my own.

Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be?
Joanna Deepika: The only “yes” you need to follow your dreams, is yours. If you don’t, you’ll regret it later in life, and if you’re delaying it, you’ll question yourself as to why you didn’t do it sooner. Not following your dreams makes you feel unaccomplished. Eventually, this will stop you from dreaming altogether. Walter Bagehot said “the greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.” People who follow their dreams are doers. Following your dreams might take unexpected turns, but those are the interesting and memorable challenges of living the dream.
