The group
A long-hold owner, not a portfolio trader.
Bhimsaria Group began in 1970 as a textile trading house at the foot of the Himalayas, founded by the late Keshar Deo Bhimsaria. It was diversified and expanded by Binod, Pawan and Rajesh Bhimsaria — first across Nepal, then into Hong Kong, Singapore and the wider region.
What has held it together across five decades and six sectors is a preference for owning the whole thing: the distribution rights, the plant, the licence, the balance sheet. The group runs on trust, credibility and performance, and it tends to stay in a business long after the interesting part is over.
It is now in its third generation, with Dipendra, Nikita, Simran, Harshita and Rakshit Bhimsaria taking it forward. Alongside the commercial work the group funds practical local causes — installing CCTV cameras at police headquarters, supplying warm clothing to students in rural areas — and treats employment generation as a first-order objective rather than a by-product.
“Trading, manufacturing and services — carried out of Nepal and into the rest of Asia, one market at a time.”

We invest Rs 50 lakh to Rs 10 crore in a single venture. Per venture · multiple ventures considered
Bhimsaria Group is actively looking for products to distribute, things worth manufacturing in Nepal, and early-stage companies — including AI-led businesses — to back with capital and the operating infrastructure the group already runs.
That range is per opportunity, not a fixed pool. Where several ventures each merit up to Rs 10 crore, we are prepared to commit to all of them — it depends on the opportunity and the business idea.
