About
From factory floors to national policy.
Twenty‑three years across the Government of Nepal, the United Nations, USAID and the private sector — from the supply chains that carry medicines to district health posts, up to the industrial policy desk.
As Executive Director of IEDI he helped secure government approval of the National Startup Enterprise Policy 2081, ran the Startup Loan Programme, and opened business incubation programmes in all seven provinces.
Before that: the national Logistics Capacity Assessment for WFP, supply chain advisory for USAID at the US Embassy, Global Fund programmes at PSI, and the early years in industry, heading engineering operations at Dabur Nepal.
