Building the commercial bridge between Nepal and Japan since 2011
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.
Active Business leverages the Oubaitori Group's Japan connections to facilitate two-way trade in high-demand products.

Market entry strategy, supplier audits, regulatory navigation, cross-cultural advisory. Project-based fees, defined deliverables, no long-term lock-in. We bill for outcomes, not hours.
For overseas brands: we hold sole-agency or master-distributor rights for Nepal and pass through Active Business's hospitality & trade network. Brand stays with you, market access is ours.
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.
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).
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.
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.
