In 2011, I looked at Chitwan and saw thousands of unwritten stories. The women around me were resourceful, determined, and capable of building remarkable things. What they lacked was not skill or ambition; it was infrastructure. A partner who would stay long enough to see the work through. That is why Kalpavriksha Group exists.
We do not offer one-off training and move on. We stay through the first pricing decision, the first market rejection, and the first sale that proves it was all worth it. We call this Relational Entrepreneurship. Fifteen years of it have taught us that this patience is not just kind. It works. In 2026, we return to our roots as a fully Nepal-led entity with every resource and every partnership focused entirely on the women of this country. Every woman has a story worth writing. We are here to make sure she has what she needs to write it.
Kalpavriksha Group is not merely a business incubator, a funding source, or a handicraft initiative. We are a living anthology of modern Nepali womanhood. Every entrepreneur we partner with has a distinct story of ambition, resilience, and transformation.
Supported across Nepal through our Secure, Succeed, Share model.
We do not measure success in training hours completed. We measure it in businesses that survive, incomes that grow, and women who lead with confidence. Everything we do flows from three guiding commitments.
We enable entrepreneurs to start businesses, grow opportunities, and share knowledge that strengthens communities and inspires future generations.
A world where any woman can build a business, earn independently, and become someone her community looks up to.
The values describe the collective attitudes and beliefs we desire all our team to hold, translate into action, and link to customer experiences that differentiate our brand.
Choose the honest path over the easy shortcut. We remain accountable to our conscience and the women we serve.
Use our voice to challenge the status quo. Our communication sparks confidence in every woman we meet.
Meet every hurdle with a light heart and a flexible mind. We pivot quickly and embrace Jugaad, creative problem-solving.
Leave titles, hierarchies, and egos at the door. A woman's potential is never limited by her caste, background, or bank account.
