LALITPUR, June 14, 2026 – Glocal Pvt. Ltd., through its Business Incubation Center (BIC), and the Industrial Enterprise Development Institute (IEDI) are proud to announce the successful conclusion of the Business Incubation Service (BIS) Program, “From Seed to Success”. The nine-week initiative, which ran from April 9 to June 14, 2026, provided a structured roadmap for 15 early-stage entrepreneurs from diverse sectors, including technology, agriculture, health, tourism, and social enterprise.

The BIS Program was designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world execution. Over the course of the program, incubates moved through six core pillars: Business Vision & Strategy, Market Research & Customer Discovery, Financial Planning & Management, Marketing & Legal Compliance, Operations & Supply Chain, and Investment Readiness & Pitching. Utilizing a dual-track approach expert-led Masterclasses followed by small-group Mentorship Sessions all 15 participants successfully developed essential business assets, including Business Model Canvases, pro-forma financial statements, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and investor-ready pitch decks, achieving a 100% cohort completion rate.

The program culminated in a Demo Day held at Embark College on June 14, 2026, attended by Chief Guest Mr. Maniram Gautam, Acting Executive Director of IEDI. The startups presented their models before an elite jury panel consisting of advertising expert Mr. Ranjit Acharya, UTS/Toyota MD Ms. Ritu Singh Vaidya, and YoungInnovations CEO Mr. Bibhusan Bista. A highlight of the day was the presentation of “The Paradigm Shifter Award” to the most innovative startup of the cohort.

Reflecting on the program’s success, Ms. Kajol Jha, Managing Director of Glocal Pvt. Ltd., stated, “When we launched this cohort, we were looking for seeds of change. Today, looking at these 15 extraordinary ventures, I don’t just see seeds, I see a thriving forest of innovation that will redefine Nepal’s entrepreneurial landscape”. Mr. Maniram Gautam added, “IEDI’s core mission has always been to be the wind beneath the wings of Nepali entrepreneurs. The grit and operational clarity demonstrated by this cohort validates our deepest belief that with the right incubation, local ideas have the profound power to solve both local and global challenges”.
