rajendra THAPA: August 2020

I am a business entrepreneur. I founded Tilicho Trading P. Ltd. in 2005 with a team of professionals. After a few months, I established Tilicho Laboratories P. Ltd. in 2005. Thus I incorporated Tilicho Group which was registered in 2018. My company primarily imports veterinary medicines from India, Vietnam, Germany, and Spain and distributes them throughout Nepal. Marketing and Distribution are the benchmarks of my company with a team of smart, sincere, and energetic marketing staff. Currently, I am working for this group as a Managing Director and CEO.

I started my professional career working for Blue Cross Laboratories as a Medical Sales Representative and later as Territory Manager from 1995 to 2008. It is a multinational pharmaceutical company. I worked for the company for thirteen years with many accolades and awards. I was awarded multiple medals and prizes for my optimal sales performances and results in the companies. I was recognized as a successful employee with the fame of being result-oriented and a team player.

I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Science and Technology in 1995 from Tri-Chandra College in Kathmandu. Subsequently, I earned my Master's Degree in Zoology, specializing in Parasitology from Tribhuvan University in 2000. Then I taught at Amrit Science College for two years.

Nepal Government, Council of Ministers appointed me as a Member Secretary of Lumbini Development Trust In 2009. It is a trust funded by the Nepal Government. It is solely responsible for the protection, conservation, and development of the Lumbini; the birthplace of the Lord Buddha. It was enlisted in the World Heritage Site in 1997. I served the trust till 2012. During my tenure; I worked on the excavation and conservations in collaboration with UNESCO & Durham University UK with the financial support of the Japanese Fund. Other significant works I did at the trust were that I organized the "Lumbini International Peace Prize" in 2011 and "Visit Lumbini Year 2012" for the promotion of Lumbini. I advanced the completion of the 4th Pond of a circular levy, Central Canal. Thus I initiated a boat to sail on it. I also installed a solar lighting system in Circular Levy and on the way to the central canal.

While taking the responsibilities in the trust, I also studied Buddhism and practiced the life of a Buddhist novice for some time at the premise of the trust.

I proudly attended as a Guest Speaker at the "The 2nd International Academic Forum on Buddhist Social Work: How is Asian Buddhism Involved in People's Life" held on 2017 March 22-23rd. It was organized by the Asian Research Institute for International Social Work (ARIISW), Shukutoku University, Chiba, Japan.

Social Work is my passion and take it as an integral part of my life. I'm highly valued and respected by my colleagues and friends for my social skills and leadership. I am happy to contribute my time, energy, skill, and knowledge to associate with the social organizations and their funding.

I began my social work by serving Nepal Medical Sales Representatives Association (NMSRA) as General Secretary and President which was a union organization of professionals working as Medical Sales Representatives in various multi-national companies. Currently, I am the National Treasurer of the Nepal Veterinary Chemist & Druggist Association of Nepal (VECDAN). Additionally, I am the General Secretary of Umbrella Organization Nepal, Peace & Loving Kindness Buddhist Teaching & Meditation Center (Buddhist Organization), and the Tour De' Lumbini Pedal for Peace Foundation.

My active participation in different social organizations was recognized by Nepal Government which honored me with "SEWA SHREE" from the Rt. Honorable President Ms. Bidya Devi Bhandari in 2019.
