Nepal Mart Entrepreneurs Association (NMEA) is a member-driven organization based in Kathmandu, Nepal, founded on a simple but powerful belief that marts and entrepreneurs are the backbone of Nepal's local economy.
We exist to unite mart owners, small business operators, and entrepreneurs from all corners of Nepal into one strong, supportive community. By standing together, our members gain access to opportunities, networks, and resources that would otherwise be out of reach for individual businesses.
NMEA actively works to:
Represent the interests of mart owners at local and national levels
Facilitate business networking and collaboration among members
Provide training, workshops, and capacity-building programs
Support entrepreneurs in navigating regulations and market challenges
Promote fair trade and ethical business practices across Nepal
Whether you run a neighborhood mart in Kathmandu or a growing retail business in a remote district, NMEA is your partner in progress. We are more than an association, we are a movement to build a stronger, more connected business community across Nepal.
Our Mission: To empower mart owners and entrepreneurs across Nepal by uniting them under a common platform, providing capacity-building resources, advocating for their interests, and fostering a collaborative business community where every member grows stronger and serves better.
