History
While pursuing an MBA at the University of Wales in London, Bikash Nepal observed opportunities in the UK's FMCG sector.[3] It began distributing Indian-made FMCG products across the UK. Bikash later decided to establish his own brand specializing in Nepali food products. In 2018, he founded Nepal Foods with his childhood friend Rishab Pyara Shrestha, with an initial investment of 50,000 lakhs.[1][4]
In the same year, Nepal Foods expanded its operations by partnering with brands such as Dabur, Haldirams, Dairy Valley, Gits, and Ashoka.[5] The company also collaborated with Santosh Shah, winner of the BBC's UK MasterChef: The Professionals Rematch 2021, to promote their products at an event at the House of Lords attended by Nepal's Ambassador to the UK, Gyan Chandra Acharya.[6][7]
Nepal Foods has a production warehouse in Kirtipur, Nepal,[8] and is headquartered in Hounslow, England.[2] The company distributes its products to various countries, including the US, Germany, Portugal, Poland, Sweden, and Denmark.[5] In 2022, the company reported a turnover of 65 crores.[1]
In 2021, the company established the Nepal Foods Foundation to support the farmers who grow the crops and spices used in their products. The foundation has partnered with PHASE Worldwide, a British charity.[9]
