Why the name “Alchi”?
In Nepali, “Alchi” means lazy. But the founders say this is not true for them. People who are “Alchi” know when to rest and how to work smartly.
Famous people like Darwin, Churchill, Einstein, Newton, and Picasso were called lazy but did amazing things. Alchi follows this idea of working smart and being creative.
