Nikhil Moorthy is the General Manager at Himalaya Television. He has a diverse range of work experiences from running a restaurant in Doha, managing multinational brands with a leading advertising agency in Nepal, working with global companies to now leading a television network which will be the first Nepali channel to run an international adventure reality show called Himalaya Roadies. All these experiences have enriched him to develop a better understanding of people, work ethics and cultures.
Nikhil has been in Nepal for 14 years and his approach to life – both personal and professional – is to create a better life rather than just making a living. The one person who has stood strong by his side through this incredible journey is his wife, Devika, and their extended families and friends.
In this issue of Business 360, he shares his pick of brands:
