Embark College launches Embark Business Review

LALITPUR: Embark College launched the inaugural issue of Embark Business Review on Sunday, an academic journal curated by the Embark Research Network.

Asish Thakur, CEO of Embark College, invited Jean-Noël Ezingeard, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Roehampton, the college’s academic partner, to address the launch event. Ezingeard commended the enthusiasm shown by the students during his visit and underscored the critical role of research in fostering informed decision-making.

Thakur highlighted the relationship between education and employment, stating that practical skill development leads to better career opportunities. He explained that the Embark Research Network’s mission is to create a research-driven ecosystem that fosters visibility and innovation, empowering students to recognise and act upon opportunities.

The journal, edited by Stephen Driver, Principal of Embark College, and Saurav Satyal, Academic Head of the college, includes case studies on several Nepali businesses such as Aama ko Achar, Abari, Doko Recyclers, Eco Sathi Nepal, Foneloan, Goldstar Shoes, Nepal Bank, SmarPaani, Wai Wai, Yatri Motorcycles, and Yeti Airlines. Satyal commented, “In my 14 years of teaching, students have always had to examine case studies on foreign businesses. We want them to learn about what’s being done in Nepal.” Driver added, “It is not just about what we and our students get out of doing the research. It is also about what businesses that get featured in the journal get out of it,” highlighting the partnership between businesses and academia.

A panel discussion followed the launch, featuring Bishwambhar Pyakurel and Sanjib Subba, and moderated by Driver.
