Nepal → Japan · ネパールから日本へ

Hi, I'm Sumarga Tripathi.

Two countries. Four languages. One evolving ambition.

I study Global Business at the Japan University of Economics in Fukuoka. I'm interested in where artificial intelligence, economics and international business meet — and in building a career that connects technology, business and people across cultures.

About me

Nepal gave me my roots. Japan gave me new perspectives.

Growth often begins outside your comfort zone.

I was born in Nepal, a country known for its mountains, diverse cultures and extraordinary people. At nine years old, I visited Japan for the first time — and what began as a childhood fascination with its culture, people and technology gradually became something much bigger.

After finishing primary school in Nepal, I moved to Japan. Adapting to a new language, education system and society wasn't always straightforward, but it taught me lessons no textbook could. I graduated from a Japanese high school and learned how to navigate life between cultures.

Today I'm a university student, a part-time employee in Japanese retail, and a student leader. Each role has taught me something different — and both countries continue to shape who I am.

My journey

From the mountains of Nepal to the classrooms of Fukuoka.

2005 · Nepal

It all started in Nepal

Born and raised in Nepal, where I began my education and developed the curiosity that would eventually take me beyond my country's borders.

July 2025 · Surabaya, Indonesia

Community Engagement and Development

Worked with fellow students and a local small business to understand the real challenges entrepreneurs face.

Next

Research and postgraduate study

Exploring AI, economics and global business through research, with the goal of postgraduate study in management and accounting — Kyushu University is one of the places I aspire to study.

Experience

Learning beyond the classroom.

Leadership

President, Global Club

Working with students from different backgrounds to organise events, coordinate teams and turn ideas into real experiences. Leadership, I've learned, is about listening, making decisions and taking responsibility.

Event

Taste the World

A multicultural food event I helped organise that brings students together through cuisine, cooperation and friendly competition.

International

CED Programme, Indonesia

In Surabaya, I supported a local small business and saw international business up close — beyond lectures and case studies.

Work

Retail, Lopia Supermarket

Part-time work in a Japanese workplace taught me teamwork, customer expectations and operational discipline — and that business is about the people who make it run every day.

Life skills

Balancing study and work

Managing university and part-time employment has taught me time management, financial responsibility and perseverance.

Perspective

Between two cultures

Coming from Nepal and studying in Japan gives me a distinctive view of how business works across borders.

Current focus

AI, economics and global business.

I'm fascinated by how artificial intelligence is reshaping business competition — and by how Japan and the United States are approaching this technological transformation in different ways.

How is AI changing the way companies compete?
How do Japan and the US approach the AI transition differently?
How can countries with different economic structures learn from each other?
The journey continues
"I am not simply trying to reach a destination. I am trying to become someone capable of creating opportunities wherever life takes me."

And this is only the beginning.
