Prashi Agrawal has been entrusted with the responsibility of Chair, while Vidushi Rana will serve as Co-Chair of the committee.
The committee also includes 16 general members drawn from diverse industrial sectors across Nepal, reflecting an inclusive leadership structure that brings together a wide range of expertise and perspectives.
