Forecasting that the banking and financial service sector would have a tremendous growth potential in the 21st century, Vishal group took a strategic decision in the mid 1900s to build its presence in this sector. Accordingly, we obtained the licenses to operate finance companies and commercial banks. Our finance experience not only provided an entry point into the financial services sector but also a platform to gain expertise, which later proved to be of great value when Nepal Industrial and Commerce Bank Ltd. was successfully set up. While all these companies are jointly promoted by a mix of local corporate houses, in all instances Vishal Group has been the lead promoter and has been actively involved in all stages of establishment and development of these ventures.
