From Struggle to Chairman: Madan Ghimire's Untold Business Journey | The Next Move S1E3

From struggle to Chairman — Madan Ghimire's story is proof that one hard beginning can lead to three thriving businesses. In today's episode, we have Madan Ghimire — Managing Director of Golden Agro Pvt. Ltd., Managing Director of CMT Hotel, and Chairman of the Chitwan Association of Industries. From a difficult starting point to leading Chitwan's industry sector today, Madan takes us through the real journey — not the polished version, the actual one. We discuss how Golden Agro began back in 2009, why he expanded from agro-chemicals into hospitality with CMT Hotel, the open secret behind how hotels actually set their pricing, and how technology is used to forecast business at CMT Hotel. Madan also opens up honestly about the most expensive mistake of his career, and what it actually cost him — no filtered success story here. In the final segment, he shares real advice for anyone starting a business from zero in Nepal today, where he sees Chitwan's industry sector heading next, and what his personal next move is.
