Twenty-six years ago, three housewives Rita, Sarojani and Arati, with no knowledge of business or any skill training, decided to enter the entrepreneurial world, ready to face any challenges on their way.

With encouragement from families, especially spouses, Nepal Paper Crafts Pvt. Ltd. came into existence. Rather than taking up a job, we believed, that we were capable of providing jobs to the needy.

Our commitment and perseverance paid off with our business in handmade Lokta paper flourishing in the national and in international markets like Holland, Denmark, UK and Japan.

Eventually, the competition in the market led to the creation of Lokta Paper Cloth that can be washed, colored, printed, embroidered. It even won a Dutch design award in 2008 for simplicity and innovative product. 

Our confidence led us to venture into a new business. We started production and marketing of locally produced clean, healthy food products, under Mahi Enterprises. Later in 2018 May, we had to close this business and restart under a new name Mahi Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. where we merged handicrafts and food into this one company.

Along the journey, as a group of women entrepreneurs, we have made a small but positive impact in the lives of many people we partnered with along the way. This gives us immense satisfaction and determination to continue, researching and innovating new products, that can set an example to upcoming entrepreneurs.
