“Touching the sky is not the only success. Real success is touching the sky with your feet firmly planted on earth.”
While literature and philanthropy came naturally to Basant Chaudhary, business was a legacy he had to continue. However, his professional responsibilities could never distract him from pursuing his true destiny in poetry and community service. But that does not mean he bears a nonchalant attitude towards his business.
Mr Chaudhary joined the family business quite early. At 17, he started working at Arun Emporium, the first modern departmental arcade in Nepal and the largest one back then. Later he went on to start many independent ventures of his own.
He always prefers to think with his heart and not mind, even in business matters. Consequently, many of his business ventures have created a meaningful impact on people and the community. From healthcare, education, and infrastructure to FMCG, agribusiness, and packaging, most of Basant Chaudhary’s ventures have been designed to positively impact Nepali society in the long run.
