Along with the title, Bipana will also be recognized as the Brand Ambassador of Glocal Pvt Ltd, and will also be given the opportunity of job shadowing distinguished personalities. A documentary highlighting her work and achievements will also be produced.Organized by Glocal Khabar in strategic alliance with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the event aimed at motivating Nepali teenagers aged between 13-19 years to 'follow their dreams and develop an entrepreneurial and social thinking for the sustainable development of our nation.'
On the basis of their initiation, innovation, and achievements, a panel of judges consisting of Anil Keshary Shah, CEO of Mega Bank; Gagan Thapa, CA Member; Narottam Aryal, Executive Director of King's College; Sambriddhi Rai, singer; and Saurav Jyoti, Director of Jyoti Group, chose six finalists out of 98 applicants from all over the country.
The finalists were then interviewed individually to evaluate their personality, domain knowledge, and vision.
Speaking during the event, Asish Thakur, executive director of Glocal Pvt Ltd, said, "When we started Glocal, we were all below 20 years of age. We still have a lot of teens working at Glocal. We recognized one hero among 98 equally competitive applicants today, but there are still a number of teenagers doing amazing things, and they need to be explored. Age is just a number, and we have living examples for that statement here with us today."
The event also saw the release of 'Pankha Fijai', a song dedicated to teenagers, sung by Alina Prajapati and Aashish Pokharel.
