Nepal is a small and landlocked country with China in the north and India surrounding the rest of the political border. India has a very big influence in Nepal in all aspects. In the business and economy sector as well, India dominates the whole. In Nepal, there are certain castes of people who are really good at business but then again, majority of the business sector has been dominated by the Marwaris.

The Marwaris who originally happen to be from India has long been in Nepal who is mostly into business. Most of the big import houses are run, managed and invested by Marwaris. People of this caste are born to do business which is a proven hypothesis. They are not only in the import business but they are equally active in manufacturing and exporting goods as well. The biggest names like, Khetan, Chaudhary Group and Golcha Organization, they all belong to Marwaris while the only big Nepali in this alike is the Jyoti Group.

Jyoti Group is the only Nepali corporate which is very active in the world of business. They belong to Newar Caste and so far they have managed to invest on almost every sector of business. Apart from Newar in Nepal, there are other good merchant castes like Thakalis but they have not been able to hold any percent of economic sector like the Jyoti or other Marwari Group has.

All these big names in the business and economy sector are mostly into importing goods from foreign countries and distributing them in Nepal. We can’t still ignore the fact that some of them have invested upon manufacturing which are exported to foreign countries. The rivalry in business sector in Nepal is between Marwaris and the Newars as on this very date. Newars are good in business while the rest of the castes of Nepalese are good at service providing business. Leaving the banking, insurance and some other financial institutions, Marwaris are still to make some impact on service rendering business.
