KATHMANDU: MitKat Advisory and Nepal Institute for International Cooperation and Engagement (NIICE) are jointly hosting a virtual event on “Nepal as a Business Destination-Risk and Reward” on September 20.
The discussion will feature a panel discussion with 10 eminent representatives of the corporate world, academia, and policy influencers.
MitKat Advisory, a geopolitical risk consultancy firm, and NIICE, a premier think-tank based in Nepal, will also release ‘Nepal Risk Review 2022’, a jointly prepared business risk assessment report.
Being a rising South Asian economy, Nepal is booming as a destination of global investment, a statement issued by the organizers has said.
“Nepal’s growing young population and rising middle-class makes it an interesting destination to explore new markets and opportunities for new and better businesses and services and explore the risks associated with them,” it added.
The document charts out the risks and major features of the business environment in Nepal looking at six broad areas: geopolitical risk, socioeconomic risk, infrastructural risks, economic risks, technological risks, and environmental risk, it said.
The panelists for the event include Lt Gen Sudhir Sharma (Chairman MitKat Advisory); Ram Prasad Subedi (Deputy Chief of Mission, Nepal Embassy, India); Shekhar Golchha, (President of FNCCI); Amlan Mukherjee (Managing Director and CEO, Unilever Nepal Ltd); and Ranjit Rae (Former Indian Ambassador to Nepal).
Likewise, other panelists include Vidya Kumar (Chief Financial Officer, Standard Chartered Bank, Nepal); Mohan Das Manandhar (Executive Director, Niti Foundation); Dr. Shambhu Ram Simkhada (Former Diplomat and Professor at Tribhuwan University); and Harkirat Singh Bedi (Business Head- Nepal and Myanmar, Dabur).
The event will be attended by representatives from business communities, diplomatic missions, journalists and policymakers.
