Sixth job: Outsourcing

After working in Pharmaceutical company for 2 years, in the third year, I started a new task of outsourcing. The background for this job is, I told to the manager of my new company that I can outsource development jobs from Japan to Nepal. I also have some friends who has their own company and their labor cost in Nepal is low and they are very much hard-working individuals. The manager was attracted to this offer. He then via some route told this to company CEO. CEO himself contacted me in response to my proposal and was very much positive on starting this as their new business. He asked me to take him to Nepal for company visit on my new Company’s expenses. I introduced him to some of the companies in Nepal and my friend’s company was included among them. CEO was impressed after seeing them in person and we returned with some target companies. Thus, the outsourcing started with me as main in the team from Japan. We successfully outsourced some small jobs and now looking to outsource bigger ones.

Now, my schedule is I do job half a day in Pharmaceutical company and half in the outsourcing in my new company. This is to the present.

Along with all the above-mentioned works I also have done some volunteers in Japan like

• Three days volunteer in Nepali friend’s restaurant
• One-week volunteer in a Japanese restaurant
• Childcare in one of the acquaintance’s place for around 2 weeks
• 3 days volunteer in one of the agriculture offices in Japan.

I wouldn’t say that I am succeeding but I have grown in the way which is not possible if I was still in Nepal. What I learned till now is, we have to do whatever we can in the moment and nothing goes to waste.

Thank you for your time. I will post situation of IT in Japan in the next blog in the near future. Please be updated.
