Background:

Dhaaranaa Ltd is the creation of Alan Mercel-Sanca -- and has arisen from some 12+ years experience and achievements in the UK (for instance see https://uknfs.org/news/ [including enablement of a 15+ years sought Nepal National Football Team – England C Team friendly international]) in the areas detailed below -- includes the following:

1. ‘Next generation’ Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) -- https://www.cultureally.com/blog/why-is-dei-important/ -- in regard to HR and customer/service user experience for ethnic minorities and other Diverse Communities members (LGBTQI+) , and at policy change and policy advocacy levels 

2. Higher Education, colleges, and specialist education sectors international [South Asia – Ireland] partnerships and services provision. Dhaaranaa lead Alan Mercel-Sanca for example was requested by the education section of Enterprise Ireland to create a Nepal HEI sector brief (acclaimed for its value) to enable Ireland HEIs to have a solid basis for establishing connections with the former.  

3. Specific business and international trade sectors connecting B2B enablement for Irish and Indian and Nepali audiences across a number of sectors from niche cultural (including food culinary: we also have a late 2024 planned Nepali and Himalayan home cookery style business planned for Dublin) and health & wellbeing tourism, through to green and clean energy orientated businesses, for arts and crafts goods, and other including products trade such as tea.  

These service provision areas are distinct, separate, but have some overlapping elements in regard to detailed knowledge & experience being crucial, and informing the quality and effectiveness of the services provided and related successful delivery and key connections and outreach networks involved.

The three different service provision areas also involve their own given outreach networks, and in some cases partnerships. 

In the case of Dhaaranaa Ltd services 2 & 3 (education, and international business, trade and other) These involve sub-contracting of aspects of service delivery to direct partnering experts and companies across the four countries.  These partners and experts are established, respected individuals and/or companies with experience and outreach that range from vice chancellors to ministerial and very senior government officials levels in India and Nepal.

Concerning 3. Dhaaranaa’s partners and service providers outreach also includes chambers of commerce (such as the through Dhaaranaa’s MD, the Ireland – Nepal Chamber of Commerce where he is a founder and a director [preceding this he was a Co-Vice Chair of the Britain Nepal Chamber of Commerce]) and senior political and government officials, and in the case of the Arts, culture, artisanship extensive South Asian grassroots and emerging talent through to nationally and internationally recognised experts.

In regard to 1. Equality, Inclusion, Anti-Discrimination services Dhaaranaa Ltd calls on it’s MD and initiator Alan Mercel-Sanca’s many years of expertise and experience in the domains of research, public services and private sector inclusion and anti-discrimination training and auditing, and Alan’s record of contributing a number of published submissions to a number of key UK Parliamentary Select Committees inquiries, and also academic papers.
