Chaudhary Group (CG Global) is a multi-national conglomerate company headquartered in Nepal. It has diversified business interests including financial services, fast-moving consumer goods, education, hospitality, energy, EPC, consumer electronics, realty, biotech and Ayurveda. The group runs 136 companies under 15 different business verticals across all five continents..

History and introduction

The group traces its history to Binod's grandfather late Mr. Bhuramull Chaudhary towards the end of the eighteenth century. A resident of Churi-Ajitgarh village in Shekhawati district of Indian state Rajasthan, he was invited to Nepal at the behest of erstwhile Rana rulers to do business. He sold clothes to the royalty and high-end customers in Kathmandu going from door to door, and later started his own store in Kathmandu.

It was Binod's father late Lunkaran Das Chaudhary who actually laid the foundations of the group. He imported high-end consumer electronics and ready-made garments from Japan, South Korea, Europe and India and started Nepal's first departmental store Arun Emporium in 1968. He also exported Jute to the U.S. and Europe in the early 1960s when Nepal's trade with outside world was limited to India. He is claimed to have started many new business ventures in Nepal, such as construction company, flooring and furnishing, and exporting manufactured food (biscuits) to India, as Binod has written in his autobiography.

Wai Wai Noodles

Wai Wai is an international brand of instant noodles produced initially in Nepal by Thai Preserved Food Factory Co. since 1972. Chaudhary Group owned the company introduced it worldwide from Nepal in 1985. Wai Wai is pre-cooked and flavored before packaging, so it can be eaten straight from the package or cooked in soup form. The Chaudhary Group has built two plants in Nepal and six plants in India for the manufacture and distribution of Wai Wai noodles. It is expanding more new plants in Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Serbia, and Saudi Arabia. Wai Wai is mostly consumed raw but also can be consumed cooked as well. Along with other noodle brands, one segment of Wai Wai was banned in Tamil Nadu state of India in 2015 for a period of 3 months citing higher level of lead in similar noodle brand known as Maggi. Assam Government had also banned Wai Wai under investigation for one month under Food Safety and Standard Act 2006. Subsequently, concerned authorities gave the popular noodles a clean sheet as it proved to contain no lead and harmful materials. Wai Wai, which claims 20 percent market shares in the Indian market, has apparently benefited from the noodle controversy and has resurfaced in the Indian market with aggressive business plans from the Chaudhary Group.
