Written By - Team Nettv4u

Prabal is a sound example for many. He was born in Singapore to Nepalese parents. He is currently settled in NYC. Since his parents are both Nepalese, after his birth, they found it more convenient and reasonable to shift to Nepal so he could be close to his family background. They shifted to Kathmandu in Nepal where he completed his high school studies from a prestigious school named St. Xavier’s, which is a Catholic School. Unrelated to his current job, he completed his Hotel Management course from the National Council of Hotel Management, Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition from Dadar, Mumbai. He then shifted to Delhi to pursue his dream to become a fashion designer.

While standing in a Chanel store, he remembers thinking to himself that he wanted to belong to that world, the world of fashion.
