I have extensive experience working across Nepal, Bhutan, India, Sri Lanka, the UAE, Japan and the United States. Here is some of the practical work behind that experience.

I travelled to Japan, negotiated with prospective partners and helped initiate exports of 2 Sherpas beer. Additional country markets are planned from early 2027.

03 · IMPORT READINESS

I have worked with importers bringing products from Nepal, India and China into Australia. I am currently speaking with several mainstream Australian vendors about Nepali products and the packaging, labelling and market preparation needed for buyer discussions.

I researched suppliers, identified buyers and handled paperwork and licensing for Australian grains and other products shipped to Japan and the United States.
