Meet Saurabh Jyoti: The Investor Supporting Nepal’s Young Entrepreneurs

 

Kathmandu, June 19

Nepal’s business scene is changing fast, and Shark Tank Nepal is playing a big role in that change. This popular reality TV show is helping new entrepreneurs turn their ideas into real businesses. It’s not just a copy of the famous international Shark Tank show—it’s become a special platform for innovation and investment in Nepal.

Airing on Himalaya Television, Shark Tank Nepal invites people with business ideas to present them to a group of experienced investors called “Sharks.” These business experts listen, ask tough questions, and if they like the idea, they invest money and offer advice to help the businesses grow.

The show comes at a time when many young entrepreneurs in Nepal face challenges like finding money, getting exposure, and finding good mentors. Shark Tank Nepal gives them a chance to meet smart investors and get the support they need.

What makes this show unique is that it focuses on ideas that suit Nepal’s culture and needs. It features everything from technology startups to traditional crafts, eco-friendly businesses to local ventures—showcasing the full range of Nepal’s creativity.

Each episode is not just fun to watch but also teaches valuable lessons about business and ambition.

One of the standout investors on the show is Saurabh Jyoti. He is a well-known business leader who has helped shape Nepal’s industries and supports young entrepreneurs.

Saurabh Jyoti is the Chairperson of Padma Jyoti Group, a large company involved in manufacturing, services, trading, and investments. The group employs over 3,000 people and focuses on sustainable and forward-thinking business practices—values that inspire many young businesspeople in Nepal.

He studied Industrial Engineering and Management in India and has continued to grow his skills with leadership programs in the US.

Jyoti’s businesses cover many important areas for Nepal’s development. For example, he runs Syakar Trading, which distributes Honda vehicles. He also started local brands like SJ MOTO and Bike Minded. His companies work in steel, oxygen, and wires, and he has invested in healthcare and hotels too.

Beyond business, Jyoti strongly supports young people. He has led groups like the Nepal Young Entrepreneurs Forum and advises the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) on startups and innovation. He also runs YouTube channels focused on motorcycles and leadership to help educate others.

Saurabh Jyoti has won several awards for his work, including the Boss Young Entrepreneur Award and Youth Ambassador for Peace Award. He is more than just a Shark on the show—he is a role model showing what dedicated leadership can do for Nepal.

As Shark Tank Nepal continues to inspire new entrepreneurs, investors like Jyoti are helping turn ideas into reality—one business at a time.
