Bikas udhyami

A critical part of our mission has been to promote social innovation and encourage other young people to become social entrepreneurs. Therefore, from the start, we decided that it was important to document and share via our 'Bikas Udhyami Blog' the stories, insights and experiences of other young social entrepreneurs in Nepal who are changing the way business is done.


Check out our past blogs below as well as our publications 'Social Entrepreneurship in Nepal 1: Stories of Young Entrepreneurs Changing the Way Business is Done' and 'Social Entrepreneurship in Nepal 2: Stories of Young Entrepreneurs Changing the Way Business is Done'.
