Samaan - The first brochure

I am thrilled to share my brochure! It contains details of "Samaan" and why is it so important to us. It also talks about values we strive to follow and our goals. 

Here it is!

I really wanted it to have a professional look. So took a bit of help from my father to choose colour scheme and template from MS Office. 

Hope you find it inspiring.

We all know it happens around us, but actually hearing someone talk about it like their everyday reality or somet...

 I always wanted to grow Samaan to as many people as possible. I thought just working with domestic help won't be enough, therefore I thought of including security guards of my society as well.

I prepared these with the help of my parents.  On the day of my presentation, I was extremely nervous as it was my first time talking in front of them and even talking in Marathi with a larger audience. I wanted to ensure that everything from my slides to the projector worked perfectly for which I ...
