I initially met Sonam Choden via an introduction from the CEO at Thimphu Tech Park. From the time I met her, she was very resourceful and helpful to assist in establishing our FDI in Bhutan. She leveraged her personal relationships and her creative problem-solving skills to register our operation and obtain visas for our team and our families. When we arrived in Bhutan, she also ensured that our business and personal needs were taken care of including banking, housing, cell services etc. I would recommend Sonam’s services to anyone looking to establish an FDI in Bhutan.

Jigme and Sonam have been very active members of the entrepreneurship ecosystem of Bhutan since 2012 when they were associated with Bhutan Innovation & Technology Centre, Bhutan’s first business incubator at Thimphu TechPark. They have deep experience in business plan development, entrepreneurship training, and FDI soft-landing services. Their contributions have made a tangible difference in the lives of countless entrepreneurs. I’ve witnessed firsthand their ability to nurture innovation and inspire growth. With the establishment of their dedicated ImpactXcel office, I am confident that they will continue to empower individuals to build sustainable, values-driven businesses that make a positive impact.

I arrived in Bhutan for the first time, to explore establishing an agricultural business as an FDI project. I was introduced to Sonam early on in this process. She was attentive to what I hoped to do, and knew the FDI process thoroughly. I agreed to hire her as our agent and left to make final preparations. I was impressed with her initiative and resolve to have things in order for my return which resulted in a smooth entry and settlement in the country. She was always punctual at meetings as well as practical and persistent in getting work completed and not daunted by obstacles in the process. I was amazed at her readiness to join us on land search trips, hiking through forests and providing much appreciated cultural guidance in meeting village chiefs and government officials. Now that we are registered and operational we have signed a new contract with ImpactXcel to continue providing professional help in establishing the business. I would highly recommend Sonam and Jigme for any company establishing an FDI in Bhutan.
