The Story

The carpet industry in Nepal is at a major crossroads: it must adapt if it is to sustainably grow into the next generation. Globalization, technology and growing demands in specialized custom rugs have all brought major changes to the industry. Clients now require a transparent dialogue with its manufacturers; they expect quality control and oversight in production and they demand their expectations to be met.

Bringing together over 35 years of experience as a manufacturer and exporter in Kathmandu along with five years of working as a consultant at a top tier global consulting firm based out of New York, Khantze can effectively navigate both the business and cultural challenges of working in Nepal.

Our Founding Team
