Aman Bhattarai

Aman Bhattarai is a senior consultant at Lufthansa Group, based in Frankfurt, Germany, where he has worked for nearly four years. Having joined the airline group directly after completing his master's degree, he serves as an analytics consultant who utilizes data to evaluate market growth, customer preferences, and evolving behaviors. Aman is a strong advocate for data-driven decision-making in the aviation industry, having designed predictive models for flight crew standby rostering to replace traditional gut-feeling planning. His professional background also includes experience working as an analyst within the supply chain analytics team at Amazon.

In addition to his corporate work, Aman is a key organizer for Impact Week, a global program that uses design thinking to foster innovation and entrepreneurship in developing economies. After participating in the program in Rwanda in 2018, he spearheaded the effort to bring Impact Week to Nepal in 2019 to train local educators and students in user-centric problem-solving. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he co-conceived and launched a virtual design thinking challenge to help Nepalis collaborate globally on solutions to pandemic-related economic and social issues. Looking to the future, Aman plans to return to Nepal permanently within the next ten years to focus on creating job opportunities and empowering communities across the country.
