The Embassy along with its partners -- Federation of Nepalese Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Nepal franchise.com -- has been hosting the annual event.
"India and Nepal are economies with bustling start-up ecosystems. Brands and franchisees from both sides stand to benefit immensely from such events as they provide an opportunity for entrepreneurs to quickly start their businesses, understand how brands are established and build upon the existing success of these brands in their domestic economy," the release stated.
"The second edition of this summit will help bring the leading Indian iconic brands to Nepal and Nepali brands to India. Their entry into each other's economy will not only bring investment but also stimulate technology transfers and business knowhow," it added.
The Embassy further said, "Indian business sector remains steadfast in its commitment of shared prosperity with its Nepali counterparts. The enthusiastic participation of the business community in events of this nature, only re-confirms this belief."
