Corporate Samachar Celebrates 1st Anniversary With Empowering ‘Ladies Bike Ride’ featuring Royal Enfield

17th January 2026, Kathmandu

To mark its first year of impactful business journalism, Corporate Samachar hosted a landmark event in collaboration with Royal Enfield: the “Ladies Bike Ride.”

Corporate Samachar 1st Anniversary

This anniversary celebration was not just a corporate milestone but a powerful statement on women’s empowerment, courage, and the growing influence of women in the Nepalese automobile sector.

Celebrity Icons Swastima Khadka and Priyana Acharya Join the Ride

The event was graced by two of Nepal’s most beloved actresses, Swastima Khadka and Priyana Acharya (popularly known as ‘Munni’). Speaking at the flag-off ceremony held at the Royal Enfield showroom, Swastima Khadka expressed her joy in seeing women take the lead in traditionally male-dominated spaces.

“During my college days, it was rare to see a girl on a bullet bike. Seeing more than 25 women riders today is a testament to the rising confidence and grit of Nepalese women,” Khadka remarked.

Priyana Acharya shared a similar sentiment, admitting that the energy of the event had ignited her own desire to learn how to ride a Royal Enfield. She lauded Corporate Samachar for choosing such a unique and inspiring way to celebrate their first anniversary.

A Journey Through Kathmandu’s Heritage

The ride featured over 25 professional and aspiring female riders who traversed the streets of Kathmandu, turning heads and breaking stereotypes. The route was carefully chosen to highlight the city’s rich culture, passing through:

• Basantapur (Kathmandu Durbar Square)
