Prem Bahadur Shrestha – he is the man behind Panchakanya Group. He has always believed in resilience and perseverance. His journey has been a tough one though, yet he never pulled him back from achieving what he wants from his life. Unfortunately, Prem never got an opportunity to receive any formal education, yet, when one interacts with him, it’s as if one is speaking to a man steeped in the ways of formal education. When his father passed away the responsibility of his family came on him, but as a teen, it was a remarkable decision for a young boy to make, and perhaps with that decision, Prem was already charting the way for the Panchakanya Group. In an eminent life sparkling with achievements, the most valued of them all for Prem is Panchakanya’s repute as a “respectable firm”. He is a satisfied man not because of the affluence that he may have earned through his businesses but due to the fact that they have had no imperfections in their reputation to date.
A very hard working man and yet subtle – he is the Vice Chairman of Panchakanya Group. He is the man who trusts in action rather than mere words. Dhruba K Shrestha personifies hard work and commitment. He is a soft-spoken person and is considered to be disciplined towards the aspirations and the main forte for success in any given field. Dhruba has been involved in Panchakanya from the time he came back to the country after his graduation. His participation began right from the minute when his father bought land for setting up a rolling plant in Bhairahawa. Since then he has been accountable for handling the daily affairs of all the factories under the Panchakanya umbrella. Like any other commitments, this group too saw a challenging phase but with his Father’s guidance he was able to gain the confidence in his work and was able to make a name of himself in the Nepali business. Besides looking after the businesses of Panchakanya, Dhruba is also equally active in other spheres of life. He has already been the president of Siddhartha Nagar Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Western Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
He is an outgoing person and has a knack for making every person comfortable and at ease. Pradeep Kumar Shrestha has been a good fortune to all the people with whom he interacts with. But behind this fun-loving personality is a strong character that resolute the accomplishment in whatever he does and is set for. He joined Panchakanya at a very young age while he was doing his masters. But over the years his hard work and dedication towards his responsibilities have not only seen him take Panchakanya towards zenith but personally too he made everyone proud of being the youngest president ever of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry and is also the Honorary Consul of The Republic of South Africa for Nepal. For somebody who never wanted to be a follower but always leads from the front, Pradeep has come a long way in making a name not only for himself but Panchakanya as a whole.
