The competition – organised by Entrepreneurs' Organisation Nepal (EON) in partnership with Nepalese Young Entrepreneurs' Forum (NYEF) in Silver Mountain School of Hotel Management – chose Shrestha to lead Nepal in the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA).
Shrestha's company Eco Cell Industries produces reliable, economic, environment-friendly and earthquake-resistant building materials. "It is pioneering the production of interlocking bricks in Nepal," a press release issued by NYEF, the apex body of young entrepreneurs in Nepal, reads.
Shrestha will represent Nepal at the 2016-17 GSEA Global Finals to be held in Frankfurt, Germany. He will be competing against the top student entrepreneurs from around the world to win $400,000 in cash and donated prizes, the NYEF release reads, adding that he has won a cash prize of Rs 50,000 in GSEA Nepal Finals.
Similarly, Johnson Bokati, a student of Kathmandu University, has been declared first runner-up. His company, Endeaver, is an app development company whose first product is an app which helps people to receive calls despite their busy schedules.
Johnson has won a cash prize of Rs 25,000.
Likewise, the third place went to Bikesh Sapkota of Nagarjuna College of IT. His company, Cryptic Thread Technology is an IT company whose main product is a school management system. Bikesh has won a cash prize of Rs 10,000.
Speaking on the occasion, Samir Thapa, GSEA chair for Nepal, said that the competitions like GSEA can provide a learning opportunity and exposure to student entrepreneurs and will also inspire other students to pursue entrepreneurship.
Fluer Himalayan managing director Ajay Pradhanang, iCapitla chairman and managing director Ajay Shrestha, Merchantile Group chief investment officer Amod Rajbhandari, Arya International managing director Anuj Shrestha, Siddhi Ganesh Enterprise managing director Pragun Rajbhandary and Wellness Hopital chairman Sudahrshan Basnet were in the panel of judges.
