What does it take to bring liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Nepal, and could it create new opportunities for industries and businesses? In this episode, we sit down with Sugam Ghimire, entrepreneur, Director at SG Group, and President of the Confederation of Nepalese Industries Youth Entrepreneurs Forum (CNIYEF), to discuss LNG gas in Nepal, energy security, business opportunities, and the challenges of building and scaling a business in the country. Sugam explains what LNG gas is, how it is brought to Nepal, and how its efficiency, cost, and potential applications compare with other energy sources. We explore the risks of LNG, the cost of switching to gas, whether LNG can be used in vehicles, and which industries may or may not benefit from it. We also discuss Nepal's dependence on electricity, the role of government policy, and whether natural gas in Dailekh could become commercially profitable. Beyond energy, Sugam shares his entrepreneurial journey and insights into investing in LNG, running a business, and navigating Nepal's business environment. We discuss the challenges of scaling a company in Nepal, entering a family business as a second-generation entrepreneur, and the lessons aspiring entrepreneurs should understand before starting their own ventures. Can LNG become an important part of Nepal's energy mix? What needs to change for businesses to grow in Nepal?
