Aryaman Golchha, a Lynn University freshman, shares how his family background and a school project determined his path as a young entrepreneur. 

Born and raised in Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, Golchha grew up in a developed and business-oriented home environment. At a young age, he moved from a Nepali school to an American school, which played a critical role in his perception about development. 

“My family was always business-oriented, starting from my grandfather, uncle and dad. They have been the biggest influence in the way I see things,” said Golchha. “I grew up in a joint family, so there were always conversations at the table…about new investments and opportunities. I learned from them a lot about the positive and negative sides in business.” 

His first opportunity to jump into entrepreneurship came when he was a sophomore in high school. While completing a school project in an entrepreneurship class, he and his friends thought about starting a hoodie venture named Enki. After the class ended, he wanted to continue building the brand, not only manufacturing hoodies but t-shirts, jackets and any other merchandise requested by his customers. 

“I would spend more time on the company than doing homework, so when the class ended, I thought why not just keep going,” said Golchha. “I kept building the company, attending different events and even got the chance to sponsor a small school and their sports team with my merchandise. Nowadays, the business is going and has grown a lot, but I had to stop for a bit because I moved to the U.S to start college.” 

Golchha found out about Lynn through a friend and discovered it was the best fit for him. As he comes from a small high school, Lynn’s small class sizes and the strong connections students can form with their professors attracted him. Golchha is studying entrepreneurship with a Lynn scholarship and seeks to get a minor in business management or marketing. After he graduates, Golchha would like to go back to his home country to join the family business, and later start his own venture. 

“After I go back, I want to join my brother in the family company, contribute…what I have learned here and add more things,” said Golchha. “Also, I would like to start my own commercial real estate venture where I can rent properties to restaurants and shops back in Nepal. I think I can learn a lot from other entrepreneurs in Boca, take all the learnings back home and apply them.”  

One of Golchha’s biggest dreams is to take over the family business so his father can retire as soon as possible and relax at home. Although this is just the beginning of his professional path, the same entrepreneurial mindset that brought success in high school could get him new opportunities in the world.
