Imagine A Nepali-owned startup, started in 2019, completes just 6 years and already raises Rs 200 crore.
In this episode, I sat down with Suman Rayamajhi, Co-founder of Upaya—a truly inspiring figure for the next generation of entrepreneurs. From chartered accountant to leading Nepal’s top logistics company, his journey proves that trucks, warehouses, and roadmaps can build an empire.
Top Takeaways from the Conversation:
→ Upaya is not just about transporting goods; it’s creating Nepal’s first tech-driven logistics network with services like warehousing, fulfillment, and partial truckloads all under one platform.
→ Nepal spends nearly 20% of its GDP—around $7 billion—on logistics, which shows just how big the gap is and how much opportunity there is to improve the system.
→ In today’s world, you don’t even need a physical office to run a business because Upaya provides everything from shared warehouse spaces to on-time delivery, billing, and even import-export support.
→ To build a 15-minute delivery system (quick commerce) in Kathmandu, Suman believes at least 50 dark warehouses are required.
→ Back in 2019, drivers laughed when they were invited to join the Upaya platform, but now over 4,000 drivers became part of the team.
→ Many companies keep the same chairman or CEO forever. But leadership should evolve—the best person for the position should lead, not just the same one forever!
We Also Talked About: ⏩ How Citizen Bank gave a fund of Rs 85 crore to Upaya. ⏩ Potential of quick commerce in Nepal. ⏩ Funding challenges slowed Upaya’s growth. ⏩ How Nepal’s IT sector boosts GDP. ⏩ Will Upaya go IPO soon?
