Episode 95: Karma Koala Podcast 302: Viva La Nepal ! Pratik Karki Sustainable High Quality Hemp Products For The World – A New Generation Speaks

The Karma Koalas have for a long time wanted to speak to somebody in Nepal, so it is an absolute pleasure to converse with Pratik Karki Co-Venturer, Chairperson and CEO of the wonderfully named ReEvolution JV who look to spread the message of high quality hemp fibres and products from Nepal to the world through a sustainable and co-operative approach to growing, production and distribution.

Anyone who is a serious follower of political developments outside the North Americal imperial bubble will know that out there in the hinterlands there’s been a Gen Z led cultural and political revolution in Nepal that aims to change the country from top to bottom and talking to Pratik he epitomizes those changes in thinking.. not the old guard, not the maoists but something new for the 21st century that draws on the country’s community and spiritual beliefs without forgetting that they are part of a bigger wider world.

We talk, hemp, cannabis, India, China, sustainability and capitalism, Buddhism and more.

These young Nepalese want to do things differently and in hemp and cannabis their thinking is a very refreshing antidote to what i’m reading daily about “the industry” .

Pragmatism & practicality not forgetting community, sustainability and spirituality whilst engaing with the world, capital & technology that adds rather than detracts. Pratik’s tagline is “Steering Holistic Development”. Sound good to me.

As always I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
