NEPSE CEO Chudamani Chapagain Emphasizes Balance, Discipline, and Cultural Values for a Strong Capital Market

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE), Chudamani Chapagain, has emphasized that life and professional success depend on maintaining balance between professional, family, social, and cultural responsibilities, and that the same values can strengthen Nepal’s capital market.

Speaking at the greetings exchange program organized by the Stock Brokers Association of Nepal (SBAN) on the occasion of Tihar, Mha Puja, and Chhath, Chapagain said that cultural festivals teach the values of light, hope, gratitude, and discipline, which are also the foundations of a stable and sustainable financial market.

Chapagain noted that life is multi-dimensional and harmony between its aspects is essential:

“We must be responsible in our profession, spend time with our family, contribute to our community, and honor our culture. Only by maintaining balance among these four dimensions can our life — and our capital market — become stronger and more transparent.”

He stressed that professional discipline builds responsibility, family life nurtures empathy, social life fosters dedication, and cultural life inspires hope and positivity.

Referring to Nepal Sambat as a symbol of national pride, Chapagain remarked that festivals like Mha Puja, Tihar, and Chhath remind us of light over darkness and gratitude over greed.
He stated,

“The same values — trust, transparency, discipline, and long-term vision — are the pillars of a stable and sustainable capital market.”

He extended best wishes to all investors, brokers, regulatory bodies, and individuals involved in the capital market, expressing hope that these festivals bring happiness and positive energy to everyone’s lives.

Chapagain highlighted that the stability of the market depends on the collaboration between investors, members, regulators, and other market participants.
He said,

“The Brokers Association is the backbone of our capital market. Without your integrity, knowledge, and service, sustainability is impossible. Positive investment culture grows not only through rules and systems but also through our attitude, ethics, and commitment.”

He encouraged all stakeholders to promote discipline, transparency, and honesty in every transaction, saying that only through collective dedication can Nepal’s market become stronger, more stable, and trustworthy.

In conclusion, Chapagain expressed gratitude to the Stock Brokers Association of Nepal for organizing the event and for its continuous role in market development.

“Let us choose light over darkness, trust over negativity, and discipline over disorder. With culture, honesty, and long-term vision, Nepal’s capital market will surely become stronger, sustainable, and resilient.”
