Active Abroad Pregasus P&K Immigration Protech Nepal SastoFare Wave Holdings Khatri Farm Active Business B.P.O. Agency

Active International Business House is the group's hospitality and international trade arm, established in 2011 under the chairmanship of Maya Kumari Khatri. One of the group's earliest and most enduring companies, it embodies the founder's vision of building commerce that bridges Nepal and Japan.

On the hospitality side, we manage restaurant and hotel operations delivering authentic dining and accommodation experiences. On the trade side, we facilitate Japan import-export operations — sourcing Japanese products for the Nepali market and exporting Nepali goods to Japan.

This dual operation creates a cultural and commercial bridge between the two countries, supported by the group's deep Japan network through P&K Immigration Services and Oubaitori Group's Nepal–Japan corridor.

A 4-step path from first contact to live business

Step 1 · Day 0–7

Discovery Call

30-minute video call. You share your product, target market, expected volumes, and timeline. We share our network and which model fits — no commitment yet.

Step 2 · Day 7–21

Proposal & Due Diligence

We send a written proposal with model, scope, pricing, timeline. You verify our credentials (DoFE registration, references, banking). We verify yours (incorporation, trade license, KYC).

Step 3 · Day 21–45

Agreement & Pilot

Sign the appropriate agreement (MSA, PO, Strategic Alliance, etc.). Run a small pilot — first shipment, first cohort, first retainer month — to prove the operating rhythm.

Step 4 · Day 45+

Scale & Review

Pilot succeeds → scale to full contract volume. Quarterly reviews keep us aligned on price, quality, market shifts. Long-term partners get our growth pipeline first.
