About Bijay Kumar Tharu
With over five years of international experience across Nepal, India, and the UAE, I’ve cultivated a rare blend of hands-on hospitality excellence and digital marketing strategy. My professional journey began behind the bar, where I mastered the art of mixology and high-volume customer service in some of the busiest nightlife venues.
Driven by curiosity and growth, I expanded my expertise into the digital space—building websites, running targeted campaigns, and optimizing brands for online success. Whether I’m shaking cocktails or designing conversion funnels, my goal is always the same: deliver an exceptional experience that resonates.
This fusion of customer-first hospitality and results-driven marketing allows me to contribute meaningfully to both physical service environments and digital ecosystems. I’m passionate, adaptable, and always eager to bring creative energy to every challenge.
