Ashish Shrestha, Finance Executive/ Co-owner @ Petite Sakura
“I’ve lived in Boston for 25 years and had only met one other Nepali finance professional until now. Today I met over 40 Nepali finance professionals in 2 hours. This platform is exactly what the city has been missing. It’s awesome!”

Spriha Paudel, CS Student @ Suffolk University
“I’m someone who had the absolute pleasure of joining this public speaking lab. Honestly, it was an amazing experience. Even though I was a bit nervous at first, I learned so much about structuring speeches, about leadership, and just about gaining confidence in front of a crowd. I really feel like I got to polish my skills and take away so much value in just a few sessions. If anyone has the chance to join something like this, I’d 100% recommend it.”

Sandesh Munankarmi, Owner @ Makalu Boston/ Nimto Events
“When I first moved here back in 2003, I was really hoping for an event just like this… a place to connect with so many professionals. And now, seeing 50 or 60 folks all here, it's just awesome.”

Prafulla Aryal, Sr. Scientist @ Visterra Inc.
“It was wonderful seeing so many Nepalese professionals in one room. As someone who moved to Boston six years ago, it’s been hard to meet others outside family… especially with everyone so busy. The structured networking made it easy to connect, and I was able to build meaningful relationships with several people in the biotech sector. The event was thoughtful, engaging, and the food was excellent!”
