Ep. 68: A tale of two start-ups with Ishu Dhakras founder of Ne Nepal and Marketing Manager Burma Burma!
An absolute delight to speak with a young Nepali entrepreneur working on TWO start-ups! Join me in this chat with Ishu Dhakras, co-founder of lifestyle brand Ne Nepal and marketing manager of restaurant group Burma Burma! Ishu grew up in Nepal, was educated in the US, and is now based between Bombay and Kathmandu. Loved hearing how she tried many start-up ideas before landing on the winning one with jewellery and home goods handmade in Nepal. Hear how she and co-founder Tulja Kedia wanted to offer Nepali customers a handmade alternative to the glut of cheap products made in China, while creating fair employment for Nepali ceramic and metal working artisans.
