KATHMANDU: Golyan Group, one of Nepal’s leading business conglomerates, has announced a leadership transition with 37-year-old Akshay Golyan appointed as Chairman. The decision was made public through a press statement issued on Friday on the occasion of the group’s anniversary.
Akshay Golyan, who has served as Managing Director for the past nine years, will now lead the group that carries a six-decade-long legacy. With his appointment, executive authority will be consolidated under his leadership as both Chairman and Managing Director, a move the group believes will strengthen growth, expansion, and its global footprint.
