      Key Beliefs

      I believe development is a continuous process, requiring collaboration between citizens, leaders, policymakers, and professionals. Nepal’s potential as the birthplace of Gautam Buddha, home to Mount Everest, and a cultural mosaic of 142 ethnicities must be harnessed to elevate its global standing.

      My work emphasizes the need for collective responsibility and innovation to transform Nepal into a model of sustainable progress.

      Zero Media embodies this mission with the slogan:
      “Doing Business… Serving Society & Serving Nation.”
