After completing his schooling he joined college in Biratnagar. In his early day of college he was involved in student politics. Due to political insurgency in college he decided to pursue his higher studies from Banaras, India. He completed his graduation from there. After college he returned to Biratnagar. At that moment of time in his family everybody was involved in job. So, everyone from my house tell him to do job. So, he joined as Accountant in Nepal Irrigation office in Sunsari. While working he was not happy with his job.
His entrepreneurial journey started from being a contractor. Today he had established three company which is running successfully. He also added that youth should not think as job seeker but have to think in entrepreneurial way. His message to youth was, there are many opportunities inside our country. So, instead of going abroad we should think in creating opportunities in our country. Since, Youth are the future of society. So, it’s time for educated youth to come forward in the politics and take a lead in changing in policy and country.
