Grabbing The Opportunity

I started in Nepal, drawn to bartending not just for drinks, but for connection—hospitality shaped by how I was raised.Early ambition and curiosity pushed me to leave home and chase growth beyond comfort.Doha taught me courage. Dubai taught me standards. At Four Seasons, I learned professionalism; at COYA, speed under pressure; at Al Naseem, leadership, menus, and people.I kept competing because comfort never interested me—until World Class took me to Rio, representing the UAE.Most recently, at Bahri Bar, I transformed a five-star venue through craft, culture, and care.Now, I help others do the same—with intention.
