Hi all, The sixth "Entrepreneurs' Forum" will take place in Kathmandu in early May. The guest this time is: Mrs. Ambika Shrestha, owner of Hotel Dwarika's, a long-time tourism businesswoman and a well-known heritage conservationist. Blending personal stories with lessons gleaned from professional experiences, Mrs. Shrestha will talk informally about the challenges and opportunities of running and managing a business in Nepal. In the audience will be about 50-60 young Nepali entrepreneurs and businesspeople -- most of whom are already running their own businesses in Nepal. There will be a Q & A session, which, as always will be lively, afterward. [If you wish to be attend this forum, please send me an email at: ashu@sajha.com] The partners for this Forum are: Hotel Radisson, The Himalayan Times English daily newspaper, New Business Age magazine and Vista International (a TV program production house). The past speakers in the Entrepreneurs' Forum have been: Mr. Shyam Kakshapati, CEO of Nanglo Restaurants.

Ashu, I would have loved to attend it; one question though, how often do you guys organize this forum ? |

Babaal, At the rate we are going, we organize such a forum once every five to six weeks or so, and the speed suits us just fine. Organizing this kind of forum is NOT our primary job, but a pleasant professional diversion which allows us to bring our private-sector clients and friends together for chiya-siya and intense guff-suff, not to mention networking among themselves. This started out as a Marin Chautari-esque discussion forum for business, and along the way, we have managed to tie up with other credible private-sector institutions to share the burden and to make a wider splash. Ravin Lama's The Himalayan Times newspaper gives short coverage. Then Madan Lamsal's New Business Age magazine writes up a more detailed account and publishes it usually a month after the event. And Raksha Pandey's Vista International edites and finishes audio-visual CDs. All of the above at the partners' own expense. Plus, there are talks of putting snippets of such forum in a business radio program, and so on and on. [All this is what our frends in Hollywood call merchandising of the forum. :-)] A number of sajha folks -- both based in the US and Nepal -- have attended previous forums, and provided you let me know ahead of time, I will invite you too ( assuming you are intererested in business.) That said, Mrs. Ambika Shrestha is one helluva inspirational lady who has much to teach us. oohi ashu ktm,nepal |
