Nepal Airlines: break it down and sell it in parts.

change, environment, governance, , , , , , ,

When you have a brand that is only “negative”. When there is very little trust in your brand and no hope from management that it will change its services, my solution is to break this brand up in bits, and sell the scraps ! you can’t fix a flawed direction unless you turn 180 degrees.

Nepal Airlines is a brand that is stinking so much that it is disreputing the brand of even other airlines in Nepal. How about, selling all its remaining planes to private airlines, and shut down the company. Sell the posh real estate it owns in New Road and other expensive operations to finance the selling or loans it still has.

What will Nepal lose ? A chance for nepalese Politicians for a free ride for the near future. And a couple of hundred jobs.

Death of a salesman !

change, governance,

A business runs on promises (faith)… more than anything.

So when a government promises stability.. yet does little to stop its support for strikes, stoppage, extortion, violence against entrepreneurs…. business will stop running… and us, entrepreneurs start going on strikes…

Nepal may soon be on its way to being a nation without sound business run by sound entrepreneurs & replaced by un-sound business and crooked business cronies.

A caution to Nepal government: don’t promise and break them (especially to entrepreneurs) …. Entrepreneurs are the smartest lot of the group. We are like elephants. It is our job to remember, to calculate and then to take risks based on our sound memories (judgements).
Businesses (run by entrepreneurs) will judge you for a long time on that. And that trust once gone, will take a generation to come back… a generation….

Death of a sales (wo)man is because of broken promises ….

As someone said  “there can be no successful nation without successful businesses”

negativity = Uncertainity = negativity

Bad days for an entrepreneur….

If i don’t know how much electricity i am going to get next week, or how much petrol i am going to get 2 days from now, then thats a big problem for development.

UNCERTAINTY.

These are the days of the parasites 🙂

Everyone is looking at another to see if there is anyone to lead them out of this stalemate in Nepal.

I.e constituent Assembly…
met a Non Resident Nepali dying to invest in the country (infact he already is). Just not finding enough forward moving business and politicians to move business ahead.
His family is doing a lot of big business abroad and dying to do more in Nepal. But most of his time is spent on trying to negotiate with politicians for stupid licences..

India’s licence raj is over.. Nepal’s is at its prime !!!
