Meet the Team
Biplab Subedi

He is globally known in the Lions Clubs community for his decade long contributions through Leo Clubs across communities. Also an avid traveller, youth motivator, debate coach, and an MBA; he is currently a student of politics. (Don’t) get him singing folk songs though – he is great but won’t stop.

Pradeep Ghimire
Co-founder/ Vice Chair and Supervisor
Pradeep leads programs and communication. A DNN co-founder, he has pioneered debate movement at home and represented Nepal globally. He has spent nearly a decade providing soft skills workshops to students and professionals. A globetrotter, he is also a US exchange alumnus and Chevening Scholar pursuing international relations. Nicknamed by alumni as beau parleur, he is punny and is often into ‘deep’ talks, for he says it’s in his name.

A former treasurer at Leo Club of Kathmandu Balaju Height, he has a passion for social services and he jointly led the post 2015 earthquake relief missions in various districts. A ‘silent killer’, you will find him powering things from behind the scenes.
