About
Nabin Raj Basnet’s story begins in Dolakha, a district known for its nature, culture and architecture. He came to business with nothing but a willingness to work, and built from there. Today he leads companies in asphalt production and construction services, and in 2023 he founded a business of his own outside the industry.
Beginnings
Nabin comes from Dolakha, the district often described as a meeting of nature, culture and architecture. He started with nothing, and what he has built since has come from hard work.
Building the businesses
In 2016 Nabin became Director of Samanantar Asphalt Udhyog Pvt. Ltd., the asphalt plant of the Samanantar Group. It manufactures and supplies the hot-mix asphalt concrete used on the group’s road, highway and airport paving contracts.
He is also CEO of Sandharbhik Nirmaan Sewa Pvt. Ltd., a construction services company.
In 2023 he founded and invested in Sandharbhik Unisex Salon, which owns the franchise for the official Neeldavid’s Unisex Hair Salon outlet in Dibyashwori Town Planning, Pepsicola.
What comes next
Nabin’s focus is on formalising Nepal’s fragmented building sector: a transparent, engineered contract model that removes risk from the client, makes project costs predictable, and gives the country the capacity to build its critical infrastructure at scale.
Milestones
Each year is given twice: in the Gregorian calendar, and in Bikram Sambat, the official calendar of Nepal. Its new year falls in mid-April, so a single Gregorian year spans two Sambat years.

Values
Earn it
Nabin started with nothing. Everything he has built since has come from showing up and doing the work.
Clarity for the client
Engineered contracts, clear terms and predictable costs, so the people who commission a project carry less of its risk.
Build what Nepal needs
Roads, highways and buildings are the infrastructure a growing country depends on. That is the work worth scaling.
