Indra Kumar Thapa spent most of his life in India where his father lived and worked. Thapa, originally from Sindhuli, completed his school education and later worked as a cook in a restaurant in Kolkata.

“I lived and worked in India for 22 years. During all those years, I felt our family was divided between India and Nepal,” said Thapa, now 40. “I used to come home during a few weeks of leave every year and head back to Kolkata once the holidays were over. But I always wanted to come home and do something here.”

It took several years for Thapa’s dream to materialise. Back then his village at Marin Rural Municipality did not have electricity, without which his plan of starting his own business was impossible.
