BUILDING IDEAS
THAT TAKE FLIGHT.

About

I'm from Nepal — a country shaped by the Himalayas, resilience, and ambition. That upbringing taught me to notice opportunity where others see limitation, a mindset that now runs through everything I build.

My interest in aviation started with a simple question: how does something this heavy actually fly? That curiosity became a serious pursuit — training as a commercial pilot in the Philippines, where I completed my CPL, Instrument Rating, Multi-Engine Rating, and Frozen ATPL. Flying taught me precision, discipline, and how to stay calm when decisions matter.

Entrepreneurship came from a different observation — that Nepal deserved brands built to the same standard as anywhere else in the world. HIMAL is my attempt at that: proving that quality and strong design don't have to come from somewhere else.

I don't limit myself to one identity. I'm still early in this journey, and for me that's not a weakness — it's the point. I want my work to reflect where I come from, and show where someone from Nepal can go.
