As imports from China account for most of the infant clothing in Nepal, she realised that the country was losing its traditional infant clothing. “By adapting the designs and colours of Nepali traditional clothing, I felt there was room for a more contemporary approach while at the same time sourcing materials and skills locally,” she says. So, with the aim of reviving the authentic traditional Nepali infant clothing, she established Periwin Ecom with an investment of Rs 500,000.

In a short span of time, Kokroma has also been able to export its products to countries with a large Nepali diaspora including Australia, United States, United Kingdom and some other European nations.
