1.1 Entrepreneur profile
Every business has to start somewhere. For Bishnu Pandey and Laxman Poudel, it began with the dissatisfaction with the job they were doing after the completion of their studies.
According to Bishnu Pandey he has completed bachelor’s level of studies and worked in NGO’s for around a year and about his partner Laxman poudel he did his MBA and worked in Bank of Kathmandu (BOK) before they started with their business. They were friends from childhood and shared the same room while they were in Kathmandu for their education. After certain period of being job holder they realized that this was not enough for them and was not something of their interest and used to discuss about starting up with some kind of business after they are home from office every night. One day they finally decided to return back to their own village Butwal and start up with some kind of business. But they were actually unknown about what to start with. After some period of time they finally came up with an idea of starting up the business in partnership, “The goat and the poultry farm”.
“That’s how it started,” Bishnu Pandey said. “At the time it didn’t seem like a business, really.”
“We really don’t have any source of inspiration or advice for coming to this field but it is our keen interest from our college days to do something different, something for society and for ourselves which has leads us to do this business today”, said Bishnu Pandey.
Every business has their own difficulties at the time of startup. Among which source of finance is one of the biggest. But they were quite lucky in this case as their families were very supportive so they managed to collect the amount of forty lakhs for their start up from their family. Now their total capital has increased to 60 to 65 lakhs approximately.
“Though there was no problem of finance, Two years time was not easy”, said Bishnu Pandey.
They started from the zero level without any training
