The man behind the famous Wai Wai noodles, Binod Chaudhary, has now become Nepal's first billionaire, all thanks to his instant noodles formula. Perhaps the nation's second most popular readymade noodles - Wai Wai - has come a long way from being just a Nepal product in the 80s. It has taken the company's chairman among the world's richest people with Forbes listing him as Nepal's first billionaire. The ready-to-eat 'Wai Wai' was an instant hit in India's northeast region and has now spread to the rest of the country. With four plants already functioning in India, the Chaudhary Group plans to add three more.
