Rudra Pandey shared a post on his Facebook wall remembering Ujjwal Thapa:
The Ujjwal brother I know:
Ujwal Thapa’s UI / UX was an IT company around 2004. My company D2Hawkeye had outsourced UI / UX 1/2 project to Ujwal’s company. The work of Ujwal’s company was excellent. When I went to Nepal around 2005, I met Ujjwal at dinner at Yak and Yeti’s Chimney restaurant and offered to buy Ujwal’s company. That offer was rejected by Ujwal. Ujwal wanted to keep his company independent.
After that, I used to meet Ujjwal rarely. I always respect young entrepreneurs like Ujjwal. He was a promising young man who encouraged others to do something brilliant.
Ujjwal showed the example that by opening a Vivekshil party, the Nepali youth should not pursue a small leader but should get involved in politics independently.
The future will know how the future evaluates Ujwal’s decision to combine the Vivekshil with the common.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Ujjwal. This loss is an irreparable loss to the entire Budhanilkantha family, the Vibekshil family, and the politics of Nepal.
May your departed soul rest in peace in heaven.
