Utsab Sapkota

Bio

Utsav Sapkota grew up in Bela, Kavrepalanchok, where his parents worked hard as farmers to make ends meet. Despite huge pressure from his family and teachers to study Science after his strong SLC results, Utsav stood by his own dreams and chose Management instead. Moving from a rural, Nepali-medium public school to an English-medium college in Kathmandu was a scary experience for an introverted boy from a village, but his determination never wavered.
While his family’s financial struggles made studying further seem nearly impossible, getting the Samaanta Foundation Fellowship opened up a whole new world for him. Utsav threw himself into his studies, winning awards in debates, participating in earthquake relief efforts, and showing incredible personal growth. Seeing his hard work, Samaanta extended his fellowship for four more years to cover his Chartered Accountancy (CA) courses at CCMA College. To push himself even further, he simultaneously pursued a Bachelor of Business Studies at Shanker Dev Campus and spent seven fulfilling months teaching at a school in Mustang to give back to society.
Through every struggle, Utsav transformed into a mature, responsible leader who always sought ways to make a positive difference and mentor younger fellows. His journey from a quiet village boy to a confident professional came full circle, and he now works as an Accounts Officer at Quantum Motors Pvt. Ltd.
