Legacy & Leadership
From Myanmar to Nepal: the journey that built Saurabh Group.
Saurabh Group’s journey began in Myanmar. Until the 1960s, Bishnu Prasad Neupane’s father, Lila Ram Neupane, ran a retail business alongside a butter processing factory in Lashio town, in the Shan state of Myanmar.
When Buddhism was made the state religion in the 1960s, people of Nepali and Indian origin were forced to leave the country. Lila Ram Neupane made the decision to leave Myanmar and resettle in Nepal.
He started again with a wholesale store of textiles in Bhairahawa, distributing textiles that were brought in from Kathmandu. Later he also took the dealership of National Trading and Salt Trading Limited. It was in 1964 that the business took the shape of a group and was further diversified.
Bishnu Prasad Neupane took up responsibility in 1986 and started Jagdamba Cement Industries, his first manufacturing venture, in the late 1990s. Saurabh Photo International, the authorized distributor of Konka products, has held a strong presence in the agency trading business since 1990.
