The then market seemed challenging with other booming companies in the sector. It was thus, a tough task for them. Keeping this in view, the company started initially by producing ice-cream under the brand name ‘Martin’. To get international recognition, the company adopted production of ice-creams through automatic plant, using modern machineries. To hit the psyche of consumers the company tagged its product as ‘Freeze Your Moments’. </p> <p> Prakash Maharjan, the Executive Director of the company believes that production through automatic plant was necessary to meet the market demands. He says, “Consumers at that period were already conscious about their health, and to give our consumers a healthy product was our chief challenge,” hence “Adoption of automatic plant in production played a great role to acquire brand loyalty from our customers.”</p> <p> With the growing competition the company started focusing on understanding the need of its consumers and also the weaknesses of the entire dairy sector. The major problem was the price being higher, it was popular only among the elites. Thus, “We thought of coming with a product which could easily be accessible to general people,” said Maharjan. </p> <p> Mass production was another challenge that the company faced. The market of ice cream was small, resulting in limited production. Thus, the company started mass production and tried distributing the product to heterogeneous population of the country. The company started producing 10,000 litres of ice-cream per shift. In the beginning, the marketing was focused basically on the densely populated cities.</p> <p> However, the branding process was not so easy. “It was really a challenging job to brand a product in such a market where a number of other brands existed,” says Maharjan. He adds “We did not focus on big advertisements and campaigns in media; however, we directly approached our potential customers.” The company started offering free samples to the consumers—in department stores, exhibitions and different schools. Furthermore, the company made arrangements for the people to visit the factory where they could see the manufacturing process. Maharjan also says that Nepali customers have become choosy with time. Keeping this in mind, the company produced different flavours of ice-cream in order to fulfill the quest of its consumers. </p> <p> Taking every hurdle as an opportunity, the company today has established itself as one of the competitive players of the industry. Started with 20 direct employees initially, today the company has 30 employees working in Kathmandu-based factory. Martin has around 400 retailers scattered all over the country, today. Maharjan says “We occupy around 10 per cent of the market share,” adding that the company is trying to extend the market in different districts and also trying to target the mass through different musical programmes. On being asked about the future plans, Maharjan said that the company is planning to produce other dairy products in the near future.</p> <div> </div> <table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> </table> <p> </p>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-09', 'modified' => '0000-00-00', 'keywords' => 'the corporate weekly from Nepal, nepali corporate events – news – interviews – reviews, nepali corporate focus, nepali corporate status and news, news from nepali corporate industry, corporate happenings – events – news from nepal', 'description' => 'Shakti Foods Pvt Ltd, registered as a dairy company in 2010, penetrated the domestic market with the vision to be the best in the market.', 'sortorder' => '1247', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '0' ) ), (int) 14 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '1384', 'article_category_id' => '116', 'title' => 'Internet Access: Witnessing A Positive Growth', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => null, 'content' => '<p> <strong><span style="font-size: 12px;">--By Biswash Regmi</span></strong></p> <p> According to a recent data, more than 30,000 websites have been registered under the Nepali domain ‘.np’.

The then market seemed challenging with other booming companies in the sector. It was thus, a tough task for them. Keeping this in view, the company started initially by producing ice-cream under the brand name ‘Martin’. To get international recognition, the company adopted production of ice-creams through automatic plant, using modern machineries. To hit the psyche of consumers the company tagged its product as ‘Freeze Your Moments’. </p> <p> Prakash Maharjan, the Executive Director of the company believes that production through automatic plant was necessary to meet the market demands. He says, “Consumers at that period were already conscious about their health, and to give our consumers a healthy product was our chief challenge,” hence “Adoption of automatic plant in production played a great role to acquire brand loyalty from our customers.”</p> <p> With the growing competition the company started focusing on understanding the need of its consumers and also the weaknesses of the entire dairy sector. The major problem was the price being higher, it was popular only among the elites. Thus, “We thought of coming with a product which could easily be accessible to general people,” said Maharjan. </p> <p> Mass production was another challenge that the company faced. The market of ice cream was small, resulting in limited production. Thus, the company started mass production and tried distributing the product to heterogeneous population of the country. The company started producing 10,000 litres of ice-cream per shift. In the beginning, the marketing was focused basically on the densely populated cities.</p> <p> However, the branding process was not so easy. “It was really a challenging job to brand a product in such a market where a number of other brands existed,” says Maharjan. He adds “We did not focus on big advertisements and campaigns in media; however, we directly approached our potential customers.” The company started offering free samples to the consumers—in department stores, exhibitions and different schools. Furthermore, the company made arrangements for the people to visit the factory where they could see the manufacturing process. Maharjan also says that Nepali customers have become choosy with time. Keeping this in mind, the company produced different flavours of ice-cream in order to fulfill the quest of its consumers. </p> <p> Taking every hurdle as an opportunity, the company today has established itself as one of the competitive players of the industry. Started with 20 direct employees initially, today the company has 30 employees working in Kathmandu-based factory. Martin has around 400 retailers scattered all over the country, today. Maharjan says “We occupy around 10 per cent of the market share,” adding that the company is trying to extend the market in different districts and also trying to target the mass through different musical programmes. On being asked about the future plans, Maharjan said that the company is planning to produce other dairy products in the near future.</p> <div> </div> <table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> </table> <p> </p>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-09', 'modified' => '0000-00-00', 'keywords' => 'the corporate weekly from Nepal, nepali corporate events – news – interviews – reviews, nepali corporate focus, nepali corporate status and news, news from nepali corporate industry, corporate happenings – events – news from nepal', 'description' => 'Shakti Foods Pvt Ltd, registered as a dairy company in 2010, penetrated the domestic market with the vision to be the best in the market.', 'sortorder' => '1247', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '0' ) ), (int) 14 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '1384', 'article_category_id' => '116', 'title' => 'Internet Access: Witnessing A Positive Growth', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => null, 'content' => '<p> <strong><span style="font-size: 12px;">--By Biswash Regmi</span></strong></p> <p> According to a recent data, more than 30,000 websites have been registered under the Nepali domain ‘.np’.

Initiated by the huge success of critically acclaimed Lumia 800 and Lumia 920, Nokia is back-with-a-bang with another Windows Smartphone - Lumia 920. </span></p> <p> <img alt="Nokia Lumia 920" height="290" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-trFA0xpWM5Q/Udv1zmbEgQI/AAAAAAAABCc/kN1S_6Rniww/s309/lumia1.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px;" width="250" /></p> <p> Constructed from a single piece of polycarbonate, the Lumia 920 measures 5.12 inches tall, 2.7 inches wide, and 0.42 inches thick. The 4.5-inch screen is framed by a bezel that houses the three capacitive Windows buttons (back, home, and search) and curves neatly into the body. The physical buttons (volume, power, camera) are ceramic and are all located on the right-hand side. The 4.5-inch high-contrast IPS (In-Plane Switching) display that Nokia calls PureMotions HD+, sealed in a coating of Gorilla Glass 2 is really rocking. Capable of deep blacks, rich colors, and sharp text, the display’s pixel density is 332 ppi. Images are crisp, text is pleasant to read, and videos look amazing. Not only does the Lumia 920 provide a stellar viewing experience on an expansive screen, but it is also capable of great visibility in sunlight, and the Synaptics-powered capacitive touchscreen can respond to gloved fingertips, as well as fingernails and some pens. The touchscreen of the 920 is impressively responsive as well. </p> <p> With a dual-core Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a 2000mAh battery, the Lumia 920 is loaded with solid specs. Gaming, office works and internet surfing users can get amazing experience using this Windows 8 OS smartphone. It does lack expandable storage, but Microsoft throws in an additional 7GB of cloud storage for all new SkyDrive accounts. The smartphone also houses NFC capabilities, Bluetooth 3.0, and built-in Qi wireless charging.</p> <p> According to Nokia, Lumia 920 is capable of 9 hours of talk time, 52 hours of music playback, 5 hours of video playback, and 2.6 hours of video recording. </p> <p> The bottom part of Lumia 920 houses the speakers and the micro-USB input. The topmost part holds the 3.5-mm headphone jack and micro- SIM card. On the rear side is a 8.7-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss wide-angle optics and a LED falsh.

The then market seemed challenging with other booming companies in the sector. It was thus, a tough task for them. Keeping this in view, the company started initially by producing ice-cream under the brand name ‘Martin’. To get international recognition, the company adopted production of ice-creams through automatic plant, using modern machineries. To hit the psyche of consumers the company tagged its product as ‘Freeze Your Moments’. </p> <p> Prakash Maharjan, the Executive Director of the company believes that production through automatic plant was necessary to meet the market demands. He says, “Consumers at that period were already conscious about their health, and to give our consumers a healthy product was our chief challenge,” hence “Adoption of automatic plant in production played a great role to acquire brand loyalty from our customers.”</p> <p> With the growing competition the company started focusing on understanding the need of its consumers and also the weaknesses of the entire dairy sector. The major problem was the price being higher, it was popular only among the elites. Thus, “We thought of coming with a product which could easily be accessible to general people,” said Maharjan. </p> <p> Mass production was another challenge that the company faced. The market of ice cream was small, resulting in limited production. Thus, the company started mass production and tried distributing the product to heterogeneous population of the country. The company started producing 10,000 litres of ice-cream per shift. In the beginning, the marketing was focused basically on the densely populated cities.</p> <p> However, the branding process was not so easy. “It was really a challenging job to brand a product in such a market where a number of other brands existed,” says Maharjan. He adds “We did not focus on big advertisements and campaigns in media; however, we directly approached our potential customers.” The company started offering free samples to the consumers—in department stores, exhibitions and different schools. Furthermore, the company made arrangements for the people to visit the factory where they could see the manufacturing process. Maharjan also says that Nepali customers have become choosy with time. Keeping this in mind, the company produced different flavours of ice-cream in order to fulfill the quest of its consumers. </p> <p> Taking every hurdle as an opportunity, the company today has established itself as one of the competitive players of the industry. Started with 20 direct employees initially, today the company has 30 employees working in Kathmandu-based factory. Martin has around 400 retailers scattered all over the country, today. Maharjan says “We occupy around 10 per cent of the market share,” adding that the company is trying to extend the market in different districts and also trying to target the mass through different musical programmes. On being asked about the future plans, Maharjan said that the company is planning to produce other dairy products in the near future.</p> <div> </div> <table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> </table> <p> </p>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-09', 'modified' => '0000-00-00', 'keywords' => 'the corporate weekly from Nepal, nepali corporate events – news – interviews – reviews, nepali corporate focus, nepali corporate status and news, news from nepali corporate industry, corporate happenings – events – news from nepal', 'description' => 'Shakti Foods Pvt Ltd, registered as a dairy company in 2010, penetrated the domestic market with the vision to be the best in the market.', 'sortorder' => '1247', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '0' ) ), (int) 14 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '1384', 'article_category_id' => '116', 'title' => 'Internet Access: Witnessing A Positive Growth', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => null, 'content' => '<p> <strong><span style="font-size: 12px;">--By Biswash Regmi</span></strong></p> <p> According to a recent data, more than 30,000 websites have been registered under the Nepali domain ‘.np’.

One report said that the watch would run a version of iOS but suggested that battery life issues could be holding it back. The watch might also include a pedometer and other sensors to help it compete with fitness gadgets like Nike’s FuelBand and the Fitbit.

The then market seemed challenging with other booming companies in the sector. It was thus, a tough task for them. Keeping this in view, the company started initially by producing ice-cream under the brand name ‘Martin’. To get international recognition, the company adopted production of ice-creams through automatic plant, using modern machineries. To hit the psyche of consumers the company tagged its product as ‘Freeze Your Moments’. </p> <p> Prakash Maharjan, the Executive Director of the company believes that production through automatic plant was necessary to meet the market demands. He says, “Consumers at that period were already conscious about their health, and to give our consumers a healthy product was our chief challenge,” hence “Adoption of automatic plant in production played a great role to acquire brand loyalty from our customers.”</p> <p> With the growing competition the company started focusing on understanding the need of its consumers and also the weaknesses of the entire dairy sector. The major problem was the price being higher, it was popular only among the elites. Thus, “We thought of coming with a product which could easily be accessible to general people,” said Maharjan. </p> <p> Mass production was another challenge that the company faced. The market of ice cream was small, resulting in limited production. Thus, the company started mass production and tried distributing the product to heterogeneous population of the country. The company started producing 10,000 litres of ice-cream per shift. In the beginning, the marketing was focused basically on the densely populated cities.</p> <p> However, the branding process was not so easy. “It was really a challenging job to brand a product in such a market where a number of other brands existed,” says Maharjan. He adds “We did not focus on big advertisements and campaigns in media; however, we directly approached our potential customers.” The company started offering free samples to the consumers—in department stores, exhibitions and different schools. Furthermore, the company made arrangements for the people to visit the factory where they could see the manufacturing process. Maharjan also says that Nepali customers have become choosy with time. Keeping this in mind, the company produced different flavours of ice-cream in order to fulfill the quest of its consumers. </p> <p> Taking every hurdle as an opportunity, the company today has established itself as one of the competitive players of the industry. Started with 20 direct employees initially, today the company has 30 employees working in Kathmandu-based factory. Martin has around 400 retailers scattered all over the country, today. Maharjan says “We occupy around 10 per cent of the market share,” adding that the company is trying to extend the market in different districts and also trying to target the mass through different musical programmes. On being asked about the future plans, Maharjan said that the company is planning to produce other dairy products in the near future.</p> <div> </div> <table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"> </table> <p> </p>', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2013-07-09', 'modified' => '0000-00-00', 'keywords' => 'the corporate weekly from Nepal, nepali corporate events – news – interviews – reviews, nepali corporate focus, nepali corporate status and news, news from nepali corporate industry, corporate happenings – events – news from nepal', 'description' => 'Shakti Foods Pvt Ltd, registered as a dairy company in 2010, penetrated the domestic market with the vision to be the best in the market.', 'sortorder' => '1247', 'image' => null, 'article_date' => '0000-00-00 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => false, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '0' ) ), (int) 14 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '1384', 'article_category_id' => '116', 'title' => 'Internet Access: Witnessing A Positive Growth', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => null, 'content' => '<p> <strong><span style="font-size: 12px;">--By Biswash Regmi</span></strong></p> <p> According to a recent data, more than 30,000 websites have been registered under the Nepali domain ‘.np’.
