Sakriya.
Fast execution, clear communication, and long-term relationships — between two homes on opposite sides of the world.
Meet the operator
Young enough to be underestimated. Organized enough not to care.
— Sakriya
Real projects, real execution
Not a resume — a working record of what's actually being built and run.
Food Mart
Owner-operator of a gas station and convenience store — daily execution, employee systems, vendor management, and money services.
Business Expansion
Acquiring a second store — entity structuring, due diligence, LOIs, financing coordination, and transition planning from the ground up.
Rental Portfolio
Nine houses in Virginia — owned and managed directly. Screening, leases, maintenance systems, and tenant relationships built to last multiple lease cycles.
Site & Facility Upgrades
Parking lot and facility improvement projects — coordinating contractor bids, scope, timelines, and quality through completion.
Store Ops, Automated
A Discord operations hub built for the store — schedules generate themselves, an AI assistant solves most problems employees hit on the job, opening and closing checklists hold every shift accountable, and fuel reporting runs on autopilot. Less time behind the counter, more time building.
Education & Energy
Our family runs Valley Public School in Nepal and is deeply invested in the country's energy future, with stakes in more than six hydroelectric power plants.
The operator skillset
The day-to-day work sits at the intersection of local business operations, real estate, and people.
Business Operations
Gas station and convenience store workflows — staffing, reporting, vendor coordination, and daily execution that keeps the store running clean.
Real Estate Management
Tenant screening and communication, leases, repair coordination, contractor management, and long-term property upkeep — all self-managed.
Deal Execution
From LOI to closing: due diligence, entity structuring, seller communication, contract coordination, and disciplined follow-through.
Contractor Coordination
Coordinating bids, expectations, timelines, payments, and quality control — with the kind of communication that keeps projects moving.
Store Revenue Systems
Vendor partnerships, performance tracking, and owner-friendly revenue workflows built for convenience store environments.
Systems & Automation
Discord bots, spreadsheets, AI workflows, and structured processes that make operations cleaner and less dependent on memory.
People I build with
Contractors, employees, operators, tenants, and partners — the people closest to the work.
Sakriya pays more than fair, pays on time, every time, and keeps the work coming. In this trade that combination basically doesn't exist.
The systems he set up in our store paid for themselves in the first month. Our numbers have not looked the same since.
He walked our store, watched how we ran it for a day, and told us exactly what to fix. Six months later we run smoother with less staff stress.
He answers in minutes, not days. Decisions get made the same call. Projects with him just move.
Repairs get handled before I even follow up. Four years renting from him and I've never once had to chase.
Deliveries are checked, invoices are paid, and problems get a call the same day. As a vendor, that's all you can ask for.
Best boss I've had. The schedule posts itself, the checklists are clear, and when something breaks there's an answer in seconds. You always know where you stand.
Clear scope, clean communication, zero surprises at payment. We prioritize his jobs because working with him is easy.
Young, but more organized than operators twice his age. When he says a date, that's the date.
Punte.
My baby since March 20, 2022.
People assume I'm a dog person — that I see one on the street and lose my mind. I'm not.
I love Punte. That's mostly where it ends. I think a lot of dogs smell. Some are loud and annoying. Some are genuinely aggressive — I've been bitten enough times to lose count of the rabies and tetanus shots.
But none of that means they deserve cruelty. Being annoying, or dirty, or even dangerous isn't a reason to throw rocks at something, or beat it with an iron rod, for the crime of existing.
Punte lives like a king. I walk him. I spoil him — beef tallow, ghee, the most expensive treats I can find. When it rains, he's inside. When there's danger, he's inside. He has only ever known full bellies and clear skies.
Then I go back to Kathmandu and I see the other dogs. Rocks thrown at them. Run over in the street. Thirsty and hungry, scavenging through dumpsters in one of the most crowded cities on earth.
And you start to ask the obvious question: why not them? What did Punte do to deserve this life, when they did nothing to deserve theirs?
I don't have a clean answer. But the question changed me. I used to see almost every relationship as a transaction — what can I get, what can they get. I still think that way more than I'd like to admit. Punte pulled some of it loose. He made me care about lives I have nothing to gain from.
Since 2022 I've been sending money to the people in Nepal who feed and nurse these street dogs — my kind-hearted brothers and sisters doing the work on the ground. One day, when I've built enough, I want to open something real for them. Somewhere those dogs get to be warm and full too.
It's also the honest answer to why I work the way I do at my age — the store hours, the deals, the nine houses, the MBA between shifts. I'm not building all this because I love being tired. I'm building it so that one day, when it's time to give back on a scale that matters, I can.
He's just a dog. But he reminded me how lucky I am — and that luck should cost me something.
Two homes, one life
Kathmandu and Virginia. The store, the family, the dog, the road between.
Rants, refined
Operating, real estate, immigration, building — whatever's on my mind, written down properly.
