a family in Nepal began a journey with people at its heart.
In 2003, Ram Bahadur Shrestha and his sons, Sujan Kumar and Suman Kumar Shrestha, founded Manaram Himalayan Handicraft. Their vision brought enterprise, employment and social welfare together. The name carries that belief: Mana — heart. Ram — God. God in Heart.

the journeycontinues
Many enterprises. One heart. Always better together.
What began with a family’s vision keeps growing through the people who make Manaram what it is. New ideas, new possibilities, the same shared purpose.
Our vision“Promote Nepalese goods on a global scale with the highest ethical standards and quality, to reduce Nepal’s trade deficit.”
In 2003, Ram Bahadur Shrestha and his sons, Sujan Kumar and Suman Kumar Shrestha, founded Manaram Himalayan Handicraft to promote and export traditional Nepalese products around the world.
It has grown into a pioneer in the pet food industry, specialising in the Himalayan dog chew (churpi), and has led its market for two decades. Its mission: world-class products of the highest quality, traditional flavours kept alive through new methods, and new products made from native raw materials.
Our vision“To provide quality education and health to children in rural areas.”
Established in 2005, Manaram Foundation carries the group’s social purpose into communities, encouraging education and healthy living.
Together with the group, it has established 180+ libraries across Nepal and supports scholarships, stationery, school uniforms and health programmes.
Our vision“To create high-quality Himalayan foods with innovative methods, promoting them locally and globally to help reduce Nepal’s trade deficit.”
Manaram Farm was established in 2014 to use, emphasise and promote local resources in high-quality consumable products.
Under different brand names, it develops everyday FMCG products, made with the finest raw materials and age-old techniques so they are both delicious and healthy.
Our aim“To utilise milk production at the local level to its optimum capacity.”
Seto Tyami was established in 2016. It procures milk directly from local farmers and processes it into high-quality dairy products.
It takes pride in supporting local farmers and promoting sustainable practices in the dairy industry.
Our vision“To be a leading company in empowering Nepal’s local enterprises in agriculture and productive sectors, uplifting the socio-economic status of our people and nation.”
Manaram Group was established in 2018. It is the turning point of this journey: a family of enterprises, brought together by a common identity.
The work spans different fields, but its purpose stays connected to people and place. “Better Together” gives that shared purpose a name.
Our vision“To inspire and empower through the sharing of stories, where imagination and creativity, shaped by life experiences, come to life in art.”
Mana Make was established in 2020 to build quality entertainment for a global audience, through the power of storytelling and the storyteller’s camera.
Its mission is high-quality entertainment that inspires Nepalese audiences to support the country’s entertainment industry, and helps emerging artists pursue their passion.
Chichiri Chulo became part of the journey in 2022. This chapter celebrates the place of food and hospitality in the evolving Manaram story.
A shared table is a small thing with a large meaning. It makes space for conversation, familiarity and the simple pleasure of being together.
Our vision“To share Nepal’s superfood heritage with the world while uplifting the communities behind it.”
Poshilo means nourishing. The brand began when founder Prithwi Kallyan Parajuli, trekking in the Annapurna range, found a local mill making fresh satu, the roasted-grain powder that has fed generations in Nepal.
Poshilo reinvents satu with Himalayan grains, superfoods, nuts and seeds as a quick, nutritious meal for modern life, and partners with local farmers for fair, sustainable sourcing.
Resu Foods joined the Manaram family in 2026, led by Chief Executive Officer Rekha.
Under its Himali Haat brand, it makes homemade achar and traditional foods from the mountains, the flavours that sit beside every Nepali meal, prepared for kitchens beyond the home.
