From Nepal to America’s Infrastructure Industry
Anup Tamrakar’s journey reflects the modern immigrant entrepreneur experience in the U.S. construction and infrastructure economy. Born and raised in Kathmandu, Nepal, Anup came to the United States at age 18 to pursue education and opportunity. After building experience working for contractors in Texas, he eventually founded Urban Infraconstruction, a company focused on delivering high-quality work in demanding infrastructure environments.
In the interview, Anup discusses the realities of building credibility in construction, the importance of reputation and performance, and the long road from early career challenges to business leadership.
A Leadership Philosophy Built on Work Ethic
At the heart of the conversation is a lesson Anup received from his father early in life: work hard, stay busy, and never look for shortcuts.
In an era where instant gratification and “overnight success” dominate business culture, Anup explains why discipline, consistency, and effort still matter, especially in industries like infrastructure, engineering, and construction where trust and execution determine long-term success.
