Nepal-India Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NICCI) has appointed managing director of Surya Nepal Gaurav Tayal as its vice president. The decision was taken by the Chamber’s Executive Committee meeting held on Tuesday.
Tayal succeeds Ravi Rayavaram in the role. He recently assumed charge as managing director of Surya Nepal and now takes on the vice-presidential responsibility at NICCI, further strengthening the leadership continuum between the two institutions.
Welcoming the appointment, NICCI President Sunil KC expressed confidence in Tayal’s ability to contribute meaningfully to the Chamber’s mission. “Tayal’s engagement with NICCI will add fresh momentum to our initiatives and help the Chamber expand its reach and impact,” KC said.
The Executive Committee and the President of NICCI jointly welcomed Tayal and conveyed their expectation that, during his tenure, the Chamber will play an even more active role in facilitating bilateral trade, economic cooperation, and broader engagement between Nepal and India.
Gaurav Tayal is a seasoned corporate leader with extensive experience in managing large, diversified businesses. As managing director of Surya Nepal, he oversees the company’s strategic direction, operational excellence, and stakeholder engagement. Known for his collaborative leadership style, Tayal has been closely involved in initiatives that promote sustainable growth and cross-border economic cooperation.
Likewise, Surya Nepal has been associated with NICCI since the Chamber’s establishment and has remained one of its active and committed members. Tayal’s appointment is seen as a continuation of this long-standing partnership and shared vision for regional economic collaboration.
NICCI has two vice presidents, representing Indian joint ventures (JV) and Nepali businesses respectively. Gaurav Tayal has been appointed vice president representing Indian JV, whereas the other vice president is Kunal Kayal, who represents the Nepali business community.
