Pioneering Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Nepal

Srichchha Pradhan is the force behind Pancha Pranali and Deego Pranali
Pancha Pranali and Deego Pranali, brands that blend heritage, sustainability, and business innovation. Pancha Pranali reflects an indigenous framework rooted in Nepal’s ancestral knowledge, symbolized through the five elements — air, fire, space, water, and earth. Deego Pranali builds on this foundation, evolving into a socio-entrepreneurial venture that emphasizes sustainable products, eco-conscious practices, and community-driven impact.
A Vision Beyond Profit
For Srichchha, business is inseparable from ecology and heritage. Profit is not the sole measure of success; instead, the brand prioritizes nourishing communities and ecosystems. “A brand can only be as honest as its creators are to their values, identities, and curiosities,” she notes. This philosophy guides every decision, from product development to community engagement, ensuring authenticity and long-term impact.

Market Positioning and Target Audience
Deego Pranali appeals to a niche audience of environmentally conscious consumers and heritage enthusiasts. Its team of researchers and creators curates experiences and products that foster awareness of ecological and cultural interconnections. The brand distinguishes itself by making sustainability accessible, blending traditional knowledge with modern design and production standards.
Innovation and Differentiation
The brand’s uniqueness lies in its deep research and holistic approach. Pancha Pranali’s principles, which powered Nepal’s “Beauty with a Purpose” initiative for the 72nd Miss World, demonstrate the commercial potential of ancestral frameworks. Unlike conventional competitors, Deego Pranali focuses on regenerative practices, collaborative partnerships, and education-driven outreach, positioning itself as a pioneer in Nepal’s emerging sustainable products market.

Empowering Communities
Women entrepreneurs and indigenous communities are central to Srichchha’s model. Their expertise, stories, and knowledge help shape product design, research, and operations, allowing the brand to maintain authenticity while scaling sustainably. These partnerships strengthen Deego Pranali’s commitment to ethical practices and shared value creation.
Challenges and Strategic Insights
Operating as a woman-led, heritage-focused venture in Nepal has highlighted the need for resilience, adaptability, and authenticity. Srichchha emphasizes integrating femininity, creativity, and empathy into entrepreneurship — redefining success beyond conventional metrics and fostering a regenerative business model.

Over the next five years, Deego Pranali aims to expand into sustainable fashion, eco-conscious product lines, immersive experiences, and research-based policy initiatives. Guided by ancestral principles and a forward-thinking mindset, the brand seeks to influence market practices, raise awareness of sustainability, and generate long-term social and environmental value.
