Who am I ?

My name is Ujwal. (ooze-wol). I am a Nepali.
I am an activist entrepreneur. Most of my articles here are my experiences about experiments, activism, entrepreneurship, organizing and sometimes organic coffee farming and travel diaries.

Why do I write here?

My aim is to provoke you to make effective change in Nepal by first changing yourself.

What do I do ?

I build.

I build quality websites (for 10 years now).

I co-founded over 5,000 strong  Entrepreneurs for Nepal, a platform (eco-system) for “Entrepreneurs working for Nepal”. (Do join its vibrant Facebook group here)

I am helping build a movement  ”Nepal unites” or in Nepali, “परिवर्तनको लागि हामी नेपाली एक“ to unite Nepali citizens to become responsible enough to pressure leaders to become accountable so that we can make Nepal prosperous. It has 20,000 fans on Facebook.

Utilizing my farming roots, I am building a farmer’s cooperative, called Shangrila coffee, an organic coffee farm in western Nepal since 2009. We sell organic coffee (arabica). My belief is that in a couple of years, families can sustain their lives locally through coffee and coffee-tourism  without having all young people in villages disappear abroad for years for work.

I  am building an alliance against the Bandh (forced shutdowns in Nepal). We regularly defy bandh by various means including vehicle rallies on bandh days. In Facebook it is called, “Die Nepal Bandh Die” with 5000 members. The moto is “नेपाल खुल्ला” (Nepal is open).
