Ujjwal Kumar Shrestha: Setting an example of new-age working style in Nepal’s conglomerates

“It takes years to earn respect, but only a moment to lose it, do your work carefully.” Prem Bahadur Shrestha, the founder of Panchakanya Group , keeps saying this to his children and grandchildren.

Shrestha’s grandson Ujjwal Kumar Shrestha is now working as the executive director of Panchkanya Group, one of the biggest family conglomerates of Nepal, following the same path shown by his grandfather, starting 50 years ago. This means as the company is celebrating its golden jubilee, the rein and the glorious history are now in the hands of the third-generation leader.
