Coming from a business family, I found myself following in the footsteps of my father at a very young age. With the devastating demise of our father, the responsibility to lead came sooner than I could have imagined. Yet, we took it upon ourselves to continue his legacy and enter a new generation with revised vigor.
With our humble beginnings in the food grain sector, today we have evolved to undertake the country’s largest hydropower projects. I have both influenced and witnessed the outcome of the decisions we have taken over the years in all the sectors. Having undergone the treacherous journey so far, I must admit, with pride, that MV Dugar group is one of the handful businesses in Nepal that has not only expanded and grown in multiple dimensions but also been successful at sustaining growth for more than a century. Sustainability, I believe, is a much greater challenge than profitability or development. And the key to such growth is believing in a vision, and striving for its attainment with a quality of leadership that enables other people to believe in it too.
Many factors have been the key players of this growth. Among the top in the list are our principles and their unparalleled trust in us. We have been working with some globally esteemed brands for years now. And we are proud to be associated with each of them and we have been striving to make them feel likewise about us. I’d like to take this privilege to extend my gratitude to each of them while promising to strive for growth as we always have.
Another key factor is our ability to change. The timeline of our growth is not just linear, it is also lateral. As a business enterprise, MV Dugar group has constantly sought opportunities to diversify. Entering an uncharted path is always risky, but risk is inevitable in business and turns out we are good at taking risks, which has always been backed by a lot of deliberations at all levels of management. Our courage to learn, get out of our comfort zone, persevere and excel despite a myriad of factors pushing us in the opposite direction is, I believe, why we have been able to win the trust of our customers and investors alike.
The Group’s contribution to the growth and economic development of the Nation in various sectors – Industry, Automobile, Agriculture, Banking & Insurance, and Trading, has received immense acclaim over the years. Our collective impact on people and the national economy is a source of motivation to keep on doing what we do.
In the end, I would like to thank our Automobile Principals and all other stakeholders of MV Dugar group who have trusted and helped us to reach where we stand today. Also, I would to reaffirm our commitment to growing our business ethically and contributing positively to national growth which will be environmentally sustainable.
