ABOUT CNIYEF

This strategic initiative was taken by CNI to bring together young business leaders so as to groom them to be the next generation of business leaders for Nepal. The main objective of this Forum is to help its members realize their full potential, so that young entrepreneurs can contribute fresh, effective ideas and feedback for the future of Nepal’s businesses. CNI recognized the need to cultivate a core group of Young Entrepreneurs and CEO’s aged 40 and below to be the next generation of business leaders to steer Nepal ahead in the local and international arena. It is a membership based non-profit organisation, established with a vision to bring together entrepreneurs and business leaders in Nepal, who can co-create ideas, learn and grow businesses. With a successful start in Kathmandu, CNIYEF is open to expanding branches across Nepal, with a view to cover all provinces of Nepal.

CNIYEF helps in moulding and grooming young leaders at an early age, which becomes an entry point for them to foray into a larger business platform - CNI. One of the major objectives of CNIYEF is to help influence external policies of the government at the macroeconomic and financial level. It helps in getting the youth aligned with this.

President's Message

Dear Young Entrepreneurs,

It is with great enthusiasm that I address you today as the President of the Confederation of Nepalese Industries Young Entrepreneurs' Forum (CNIYEF). Firstly, I would acknowledge the leadership provided by Ms. Prashi Agrawal and last year’s board, your legacy will serve as a beacon of inspiration for me and the entire team as we carry forward the torch you passed on to us.

I am honored to lead this dynamic organization and humbled by the opportunity to work alongside fellow visionaries like you. Together, we hold the power to shape the trajectory of our nation's future, fostering a community of growth-oriented business leaders who are not just the leaders of tomorrow, but who also drive transformative change today.

At the core of my vision for CNIYEF lies the unifying principle of inclusivity. I am committed to uniting young entrepreneurs from every corner of Nepal, transcending geographical boundaries to create a strong and diverse fraternity. Through the proactive inclusion of members from various backgrounds, we will weave a tapestry of perspectives that fuels innovation and progress.

Central to our mission is the creation of a robust ecosystem that values collaboration, integration, and mutual support. We will introduce sustained programs that facilitate member integration, forging connections that extend beyond mere networking. Our aim is to cultivate a nurturing environment where every entrepreneur feels empowered to share their ideas and experiences, fostering a safe space for constructive dialogue that drives meaningful systematic change.

Nepal's youth possesses boundless potential and an unwavering commitment to shaping a brighter future for our nation. It is my belief that by harnessing their enthusiasm and channeling it into the startup and manufacturing sectors, we can propel Nepal towards self-sufficiency and global competitiveness. This growth must be underpinned by professionalism and integrity. Our shared success will hinge upon capacity enhancement through continuous knowledge building, spanning both private and public sectors.

As a united collective, CNIYEF is dedicated to catalyzing an inclusive and supportive startup ecosystem. We are resolute in our mission to modernize traditional businesses, ensuring they are well-equipped to thrive in an interconnected and rapidly evolving global landscape.

CNIYEF is committed to ushering in positive change that simplifies the business landscape, making it more favorable for Nepali entrepreneurs to flourish in their homeland.

Let us remember that while we are one nation, we will be the authors of many individual success stories. These stories, collectively achieved, will be the tale of our nation's triumph. Together, we will script a narrative of prosperity, innovation, and collaboration that resonates far beyond our borders.

I look forward to embarking on this transformative journey with each and every one of you. Our combined efforts, dedication, and shared vision will undoubtedly lead to a brighter future for Nepal and its entrepreneurial landscape.

Sincerely,

Anurag Goyal

President,

Confederation of Nepalese Industries Young Entrepreneurs' Forum (CNIYEF)
