In 2019, our journey commenced as graduate students huddled in the corners of the university canteen, passionately discussing sustainability projects for academic assignments. Little did we anticipate that our initial graduate-level project would blossom into a groundbreaking startup. Originating from Kathmandu University School of Arts, our prototype project focused on nature-based solutions and responsible consumption, a response to the alarming unsustainable practices prevalent in the market. Witnessing businesses and organizations persisting in outdated, unsustainable packaging, plastic-based merchandise, and materials lacking inherent value served as a catalyst, prompting us to refine our business concept. The result was the birth of “Samsara” within the vibrant confines of the university canteen.

Today, we have evolved beyond a mere group, transforming into a community of conscientious individuals united in our commitment to a shared vision of sustainability and responsible economic practices. Our mission goes beyond proving the feasibility of the seemingly impossible; we seek to validate the belief that ‘Together, we can create a responsible economy.’

Having catered to over 50 clients with our sustainable and reusable alternatives, Samsara proudly stands at the forefront of the burgeoning social enterprises in Nepal.
