Chaudhary Group(CG) Of Nepal

Beginning of Chaudhary Group:

It all started in 1934 after the earthquake hit Nepal. On the new road, row shops were formed. A businessman from India named Bhuramulla  Chaudhary began his small shop with a rental fee of RS.200. Mr. Bhurmulla was doing a business of importing and export of fabric. Due to this, he was among the ones who were allowed to enter Rana's palace.  He and his son were providing Rana's a good quality of fabric and creating a good relationship with Ranas. Because Mr. Bhurmulla knew that having a king by his side is a good promotion of his business, at that time there was no need for the registration of the company.

After the death of Mr. Bhurmulla his son Lunkaran Das Chaudhary handled his father's business. He was the fund of business and also had great ideas of his own. A modern textile company was established in 1965; Mr. Lunkaran expanded his imported business from India to Biratnagar and started to export them from the USA to Europe as well using of loyal connection that had been made by his father and, with the brand name "Rhino" nationally and internationally. That is how the expansion of the Chaudhary group began. Since Business Empire was just begun it was not known as CG. Same year Nepal spinning, knitting, waving Pvt. Ltd was established and he started to produce his textile, gathering the technique from India and Nepal itself. By the year 1967, Mr. Lunkaran was able to establish himself as a well-known fabric trader. At the time the demand for steel utensils and furnishing started to arise. Mr. Lunkaran saw profit in furnishing and hence Ratna Stainless steel was established.  This was the second company in the line of many to come in the Chaudhary group. This was also the beginning of an industrial era in Nepal.

After Ratna stainless steel came Arun Implex in 1970, and it becomes the central hub of import and export.  Whenever Mr. Lunkaran saw chance or profit and goodwill he invested his money and that paid out well for him. For publicity, he expanded solely through the mouth to mouth of goodwill of people. Thus the naming of the Chaudhary group was formed.

In 1984, Wai Wai, a brand of instant noodles that was introduced to Nepal 1984, had successfully become the company's bestseller. He took over his family company at the age of 23, and wrote, "Running that disco taught me a lot about business, but it was only when I took over the family business of running Arun Emporium, turning its fortune and looking after the family, that I understood the business." The idea of selling Wai Wai noodles came to his mind after seeing many people from Thailand with packets of noodles. From that, he realized that there was a craving for Thai noodles in Nepal. He went to Thailand and visited the Thai Preserved Food Factory Co. Ltd., the company that produced Wai Wai noodles for Thailand. He wanted to do a collab book-writing with the company, though the owner was not that confident and dominated the idea of bringing the noodles to Nepal, saying it would not work due to the country's "poverty and poor infrastructure".
