From the Desk of
President
Entrepreneurship is not just about bringing the factors of
production to its productive use, it rather calls for creating
magic with those resources. Innovation is the key and that
is where we have been focusing since our very inception.
It calls for an amalgamation of the body, mind and soul. It
involves strengthening our limits beyond physical and mental
endurance.
Without innovation, business is silent, missions dumb,
operations crippled, management and technology at a stand
still.
Last year was spent on creating new products, exploring new
markets and new partnerships between our collaborators and
us. The unison aimed at expanding to new horizons and never
before arenas of experience. To substantiate we acquired
several JV’s and partnerships in our kitty.
Without innovation,
business is silent,
missions dumb,
operations crippled,
management and
technology at a stand
still.
Now is the time to ponder and create sustainable missions and
objectives to fuel growth and leadership. It is time to upgrade
standards in operations, facilitate a stronger workforce within,
ensure impeccable management procedures and reach to a
height never scaled before.
CG has been prioritizing its employee relations in providing
the necessary development in skills and attitude. Employees
are considered an asset in the organization. We need to
look at ourselves and bring out our entrepreneurial abilities
into excellence. We need to act with versatility embarking
on creativity and newness. Therefore, we can proudly say –
together we will bring about a difference into our worlds.
Best of luck….

Managing Director’s
Message to CG Team
New years are one more chapters of our life, business
and activities. It is a time to think and explore what
more could be new this New Year! It is a time to reflect
and plan how the newness could be directed to more
hallmarks of successes.
We have thus continued to maintain satisfactory
performance in achieving physical and financial targets
by optimizing operations and business systems as well
as in expanding and planning new ventures based on
our core competencies and aspirations. We now have a
mandate from President that coming few years should be
invested on stabilizing the inorganic growth and focusing
on businesses on incubation and I am sure this will help
us strengthen our competency base.
Having said all above and thanking all stakeholders for
their appreciable hard work, I would like to highlight
some areas of improvement, which will make our
business sustainable.
a Human Resources Management: All HODs should
treat themselves as HR managers and ensure proper
people management looking after their growth,
motivation, and morale. We should empower people
to take decisions for their processes at all levels. We
need to be more participatory while taking decisions.
We also need to have a proper judgment and visible
differentiation for performers and non-performers.
b System Development/International Best Practices:
We need to set up formal and scientific quality rating
systems and ensure a good customer feedback system
so that we know where we are in their eyes. We
should make all our decisions facts based and hence
research should be strengthened in all units- notional
management will help, but not always. We also should
try to innovate as well invite global best practices, esp.
in manufacturing.
2010 is going be a
year we should use
and promote more
use of green and
sustainable energy
and in line with
our pledge become
Nepal’s First Green
Company.
The points mentioned thus will now be part of
performance evaluation for its reinforcement.

CG News
I am sure we will have more
achievements to mention next
year. I have confidence in the
outstanding level of competence
of our people. I would also like to
specially recognize a few leaders who
have turned-around businesses and
contributed their passionate efforts
for remarkable project performance.
I have had many opportunities to
hear our customers and stakeholders
speak highly about CG’s people,
4
presence, speed and efficiency,
active partnerships and result
orientation. However, let us not rest
on our past laurels and realize that
in sustainability lies strength. Let us
set new benchmarks for business
and ourselves so that the hangover
of success does not shadow our
appetite for new achievements.
This is going be a year when we
should use and promote more use of
green and sustainable energy and in
line with our pledge become Nepal’s
First Green Company.
With these words, I once again thank
you for the valued contributions you
made this year in spearheading our
objectives for world class operations
as well as in fulfilling the appetite
for speedy-monstrous growth and
tender you my BEST WISHES!

Campaign Ambassador –
Climate for life Campaign
“Climate change stands as the biggest
challenge to sustained business
growth in the world, and more so in a
Himalayan country like Nepal. The need
of the hour is to come together and find
ways to convert this challenge into an
opportunity. We need to do something.
And the time to act is Now!”
In recent years, there have been
economic fluctuations, dramatic
environmental changes and shifts in
population dynamics. Our traditional
methods of adaptation are quickly
losing their efficacy. The impact of
global warming, pollution and the loss
of biodiversity exacerbates existing
problems of poverty, underdevelopment
and the degradation of nature.
With changing rain patterns and an
expected increase in temperature,
the unique plants that grow in fragile
environments may die out and swell
as the fauna that depends on them.
This has serious implications for the
livelihoods of the people who use them
Human activity, the burning of fossil
fuels and the destruction of forests
have contributed to the situation we
find ourselves in today. It cannot be
business as usual in business. Which
is why even industries in Nepal have
to change and build a long-term
sustainability strategy.
Climate change may result in adverse
business outcomes, including business
interruption, increased investment or
insurance costs, or declining financial
measures such as value, return, and
growth, or other measures of business
success. How businesses adapt to
these changes and how flexible they
are will determine how well they cope
with climate variability in the future.
“ It all started with a few simple meetings
with WWF. At a point where I did not
have in-depth knowledge about Climate
Change issues and how exactly it would
affect on the industrial sector but also
the lives of each of my countrymen.
With this beginning, I got involved more
and more with the concept of corporate
sustainability and how Business
and industries need to incorporate
sustainable business practices into their
core work. Chaudhary Group has
always traditionally been a big supporter
of giving back to the society and making
changes happen at the grassroots level
being involved in 50 CSR programs
currently. Climate change is such an
issue which has global to local impacts.
It will affect every one of us regardless
of geography, caste, creed, profession.
As I learned more about how global
warming will affect Nepal and other
countries that depend on the Himalayan
for water recourses, it hit me more
and more, why I should be involved in
raising my voice about this cause.
I, as concerned businessperson
should be talking about these issues.
I, as a young Nepali citizen should be
talking about this issues. Thereafter
I committed myself that I would do
everything, as an individual as well
as through my company, to support
Campaigns like climate for Life, which is
bringing the Himalayan people together
to raise one voice for the cause.”
Someone once said that whatever
made you successful in the past may
not in the future. Sustainability is not just
being alive today, it is also being alive
tomorrow. Climate change represents
one of the greatest environmental, social
and economic threats facing the planet,
and we in Nepal are among the most
vulnerable although we are probably the
least responsible.
But as a young Nepali businessman
I am worried we may not be doing
enough ourselves to avert the impact
of Climate change. To address climate
change we first have to change the way
we do things.

CG joins WWF’s Climate for Life Campaign,
Launches Childrens’ educational Book Series- Pani Prasad
The Chaudhary Group, in
collaboration with WWF has
launched the Nepali Childrens’
book series Pani Prasad Volume I
and II on 5th July 09. This marks
CG joining WWF’s campaign to
bring global attention to impacts of
Climate Change on the Himalayas
called “Climate For Life” (www.
climate4life.org). CG’s support to
this initiative is a reflection of its
commitment to make a significant
positive change in Education with the
slogan Gyan Uday .
WWF is one of the world’s largest
and most respected independent
conservation organizations, with
almost 5 million supporters and a
global network active in over 100
countries. WWF’s mission is to stop
the degradation of the earth’s natural
environment and to build a future in
which humans live in harmony with
nature, by conserving the world’s
biological diversity, ensuring that the
use of renewable natural resources
is sustainable, and promoting the
reduction of pollution and wasteful
consumption.
Pani Prasad is an ingenious character
created to teach young children
about water and its importance
in our lives. Filled with elaborate
and pleasant drawings and easy-toread text, the book aims at raising
awareness about water-related
issues amongst young students in
an interactive way, through the
immensely endearing character
Pani Prasad. After the successful
introduction of “Journey of Pani
Prasad” among the schoolchildren,
WWF Nepal came out with “Pani
Prasad 2 – Off to the High Altitude
Wetlands”. “ Pani Prasad and Friends
– Off to the High Altitude Wetlands”
is a story of Pani Prasad visiting the
high altitude wetlands of Nepal and
38
talking about Nepal’s High Altitude
Wetlands, and the impacts of Climate
Change on these important Wetlands
to his three friends.
“CG believes in the youth and the
power of educating the youth. It
is important that we galvanize the
youth of our country to take action
on important environment issues
like conserving water,” said Nirvana
Chaudhary, Executive Director,
Chaudhary Group.
“The younger generation is likely
to be impacted by Climate Change
the most. Educating them on this
issue is crucial. As future citizens
of the world, choices they make
after entering adulthood shall
present a truly sustainable solution
to Climate Change,” said Prashant

CG Manipal Schools
Partnership between CG
Manipal and Campion
Institutions in Nepal
The Chaudhary Group (CG) and
Manipal K-12 have formed a joint
venture in the field of school education
on 4 July 2009. The venture offers
management services to existing and
new schools under the brand name
CG-Manipal Schools. The venture
also offers ICT-based school learning
solutions and tutorials.
With over 60 years in the higher
education space, the Manipal Group is
a pioneer in education in India with a
very strong record of accomplishment
in higher education. The Group is
present in over 20 countries across
the globe and has students from
over 50 nationalities. Manipal runs 2
Universities, 4 offshore campuses,
20 Institutions of higher education
delivering over 180 courses to more
than 12,000 students every year. The
Manipal Group recently joined hands
with TutorVista.com, world’s leading
online education provider, to address
the school education market.
CG believes that high quality and
affordable education is the key to
development of Nepal. CG already
runs a successful school named
“Chandbagh School” in Kathmandu.
Based on the experience gained from
running “Chandbagh School” and with
a desire to replicate and move to the
next level, CG has joined hands with
Manipal K12 Education.
CG-Manipal Schools aims to provide
quality education at a reasonable
cost to the children of Nepal. The
schools will use the right combination
of technology and pedagogy for an
effective learning process. Teachers
will be highly trained to enable every
student access their full potentiality.
The schools would ensure that high
quality-learning environment is created
which will be innovative, challenging
and enterprising. Literary and cultural
activities will be blended with every
student’s academic life, while strong
emphasis will be placed on discipline.
CG Manipal started its development
program by joining hands with good
educational institutions in order to
raise their achievement levels from
an already sound base. These schools
have been doing well before and it is
felt that they have the potential to do
better. “The journey of 1000 miles
begins with the first step” and CG
Manipal has commenced this journey
starting with various initiatives through
these schools and colleges: CAMPION
SCHOOL LAGANKHEL, CAMPION
ACADEMY, CAMPION COLLEGE,
and CAMPION KATHMANDU
HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL.
This network caters to over 1700
students now. There are other schools
approaching CG Manipal to help them
with their management and we are in
the process of demonstrating to them
our technological advantage with a
view to improve their schools.
Launch of Nepal’s FIRST
ICT-enabled learning.
CG-Manipal Schools announced
the launch of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT)
enabled learning in its classrooms for
the first time in Nepal on 21 Nov, 09.
Under the program, the school’s
classrooms have been converted
into e-classrooms by equipping them
with ceiling mounted projectors,
Interactive boards and CPU. The
CPU comes equipped with a library
of digital resources mapped to the
school syllabus. The solution employs
principles of cognitive learning by using
multi-media based animations, graphics
and videos to explain concepts in a
very interactive and intuitive manner. It
helps a teacher explain concepts better,
increases the level of understanding of
students and helps children improve
their performance.

21st Nov 09 also, saw the inauguration
of new building for Campion Academy.
The building, which has a capacity for

the skills of its teachers and enhancing
the pedagogical inputs for students.
Speaking on the occasions, Mr. Nirvana

further reiteration of our commitment
to uplifting the standard of school
education in our country. We are
very happy that our partnership with
Manipal K-12 is making a tangible
difference to empowering Nepalese
children and setting the right foundation
for the nation’s future economic
growth”.
“Our ambition is nothing short of
bringing about a revolution in Nepal

learning experience enhanced by ICT
content, teacher’s skill up-gradation and
outcome management capability, we
wish to set new benchmarks for quality
and affordable education in Nepal,” said

Education.
With improved classroom delivery
and ICT solutions, it is expected
that many more Nepali students will
44
have access to affordable world-class
education facilities within the country
itself; that too at affordable prices.
CG Manipal emphasizes on teacher
training and raising the standards of
the teaching staff and a two-year
mandatory training certification will be
gradually phased in the system. We
believe that only a trained and qualified
teacher can educate a child who will be
competent to face the challenges of the

DTH
CG plans to enter the DTH market to
exploit bottlenecks as its strategic and
success factors. In this market, content
and transponder capacity are scarce and
controlled by few players.
The proposed station pursues the policy
of quality and standardizes services to
customers.
It would not only stick one stereotype program but will try to catch
mass of the people with information
they tend to seek. Job opportunities,
career development opportunities, and
promotional program for newsprint
artist will be tenacious element of
the planning. Additionally, the policy of
research and development on related
areas shall encourage the effectiveness and
new program development for furthers
transmission with economy and greater
efficiency. The most important asset is
arguably an ability to play a unique role in
the DTH value chain. This advantage may
reside in businesses that have little or no
obvious connection with DTH. A company
that has pioneered a business offering credit
for consumer durables in a developing
country, for instance, might be well placed
to supply finance to purchasers of CPE.
With content, access to unique local
language material is critical. In a market
like Nepal, DTH player may need to do
is repackage existing channels that are not
universally available. In sports, players have
an advantage through long-term rights
purchases. Broadcasting rights to cricket in
India, for example, belongs to ESPN for the
next five years. It also controls the right to
football for West Bengal (the most popular
league) for ten years.
The second obvious bottleneck is in
transponder capacity. A modest DTH
offering is likely to require a minimum of
10 to 15 transponders-almost a dedicated
satellite. The number of satellite that can
broadcast to a particular region is limited
by physics.

Token of appreciation to employees
2008-2009 - A huge motivation initiative
With the aim of improving productivity
and efficiency, the company has
formed a policy of rewarding deserving
employees and recognizing significant
contribution made by them towards
the overall efficiency of the organization
and business. The above move
would not only increase productivity
but also help bring about a sense of
ownership and self-belongingness, feels
the management. A panel of judges
takes the final decision with respect to
nominations based on certain critical
factors.
The scheme titled “token of
appreciation for employees” was
undertaken to facilitate and excellence
driven culture in the organization.
Rewarding excellence is a mandatory
move by the management, who feels
that such a move would go a long way
in increasing a sense of competitiveness
and challenging the self .It acts a as a
huge motivating factor that will improve
effectiveness in work.
Competition is not about outwitting
others but the self. One’s biggest
competition is none other than his own
self. Taking challenges and attempting
to beat the self is the biggest road to
success. In an organisation, competition
involves taking up the challenges posed
by the daily tasks and activities that
one is supposed to perform in. But as
Maslow’s theory of motivation says,
“motivation is the key to success”.
Every employee needs to be motivated
in the right manner with the right
amount. It is the driving force that spells
efficiency.
In consent with the above theory, the
management decided to motivate
deserving employees through rewards,
incentives & appreciation. Financial
incentives amounting to Rs. 10000,
15000 and 25000 was given to all
deserving candidates. The rewards
were based on the elements of
Key achievements, noteworthy acts
and extra-ordinary initiatives. Some
examples of noteworthy initiatives
includes- Special projects undertaken,
Special profit made to the company
through initiatives other than directly
related to his task, crisis management,

CG Finco
A STORY TO RECKON
- Boon to the remittance industry
It all began in the year 2003 when
our present Managing Director- CG,
Mr. Nirvana Chaudhary started the
business with a small team of four
members. Acting as the COO for CG
Finco, Mr. Nirvana understood that the
journey was long and we had just taken
the first step walking the road that few
had dared to take then.
There was a mirage of opportunity
with huge number of Nepalese in
foreign employment, which was
continuously growing. Back then, the
remittance business in Nepal was at its
infancy in the organized sector as most
of the money transferred to Nepal
came through unorganized sectors like
Hundi and other non-legal measures.
The scenario is however different
today as the magnitude of remittance
has really skyrocketed.
There was huge ignorance and lack
of required requisite in the market
regarding the remittance business and
making agents was tedious. CG Finco
was instrumental in educating the
concerned individual/ institution on
process methodology that propelled
remittance industry to its present
stature.
CG Finco collaborated with Western
Union Money Transfer Inc, which was
a quantum leap marking its first entry
into the inward remittance business.
56
Working on the philosophy of “creating
value both for customer and the
nation”, CG Finco today has more
than 700 agent partners all over Nepal
transacting up to 14,000 transactions
a month as of today. ”The road was
however not as easy as it looks” says
Mr. Santosh Subedi, “We started in
the year 2003 with a small team of
four members. There was no proper
office to resume operations too. We
got a small space at the Khichapokhari
office to resume operations. The task
was huge and the overall functions of
operations, accounts and marketing had
to be handled by a particular member
of the team all by himself. Making
agents were a big challenge too” added
Mr. Subedi.
Western Union awarded CG Finco as
the fastest growing network agent in
Nepal. It has also received a Regional
star award. It is also a member of
the Top Agents Club 500 of Western
Union Global Network. Today it
has successful Banking Partnerships
with leading banks like the Rashtriya
Banijya Bank, Standard chartered Bank
Nepal Ltd, Kumari bank Ltd, Nepal
Bangladesh Bank Ltd. and the Citizens’
Bank International Ltd etc.
CG Finco has pioneered the
identification, quantification and study of
how remittances work. It is therefore
uniquely positioned
to promote
partnerships at
a micro level to
tap the potential
of remittance for
lending to micro
enterprises and
small businesses,
long-term financing
for housing and
investment in
education, health
and social security.
CG Finco has outshined all the existing
players to be the numero uno and
will continue to invest in ways to
leverage remittance to create tangible
advantages for our country and its
inhabitants. It will always remain a
staunch ally in promoting remittance as
a development tool and a bridge to a
bright future for people.
Remittance is overall beneficial to
developing countries as funds sent
to native countries contribute to the
welfare and improved livelihood
of families receiving them. On the
broader macroeconomic plane,
remittance has helped Nepal to
cope with economic crisis which has
improved their credit worthiness.
This rapid growth in remittance in
recent years has forced marketers and
policy makers to study and analyze this
phenomenon. As remittance is not
a monopolistic market, players and
stakeholders are incessantly increasing,
making the battle more fierce.
However, remittance industry is
not hazard free in a situation where
government depends solely on large
flows of remittance to shoulder
its economic responsibilities.
This can discourage planning and
implementation of aggressive economic
policies to promote sustained
development.

Message from Rahul Chaudhary
Executive Director
As we work towards our vision of becoming Nepal’s
first Global company, I would like to celebrate with you
the merger of Cinnovation with Chaudhary Group (CG)
to become one dynamic and evolutionary companyCINNOVATION|CG.
What started as a humble enterprise back in 1890, now
CHAUDHARY GROUP has become arguably the largest
business enterprise of Nepal.
With the passage of time, the members of the new
generation of Chaudhary family branched out to take
the family’s business interest global and thus created
CINNOVATION back in 1990.
Although owned and operated by separate independent
entities, we seek to present all business entities under
CINNOVATION|CG with the sole purpose of
combining the synergies for the convenience of respective
stakeholders.
Since then it has taken the FMCG, Hospitality, Real Estate
and Financial Services sector to new heights through its
principle offices in New York, Dubai, China, Sri Lanka, India,
Nepal and Singapore.
It is the trust and wisdom of CG group which has made us
reach where we are today and now it is a great pleasure
for me to work together with you to continue to create
revolution with the same passion but under the one name:
CINNOVATION|CG.

Zinc expanded its holding arm with
joint ventures and investments as
shareholders with some of the world’s
leading hotel, resort and spa brands
like Alila, & Beyond, Hilton, Jetwing
(to name a few) spread across three
continents.
Although, CINNOVATION had made
solid inroads into the global hospitality
market but as it covered new ground,
we realised that certain hospitality
market demands were not being met
through current product offerings. We
