Spreading Our Legacy: A Member’s Journey to Presidency
LEO Ayan Gautam
-Original President (LEO Club of Kathmandu Atal Indrawati)

It is with immense gratitude and pride that I reflect upon my journey with an organization that has been far more than a club; it has been my family. What began as casual, random meetups organically evolved into a profound sense of brotherhood and shared purpose.
Becoming a member of the Atal Family was a privilege, and I remain perpetually grateful to my mentors, brothers, and friends for their unwavering guidance, love, and support.
My Leo journey can be summarized as a progression from a general member to the founding President of a new chapter . This path has now afforded me the distinct opportunity to serve within a brother club of LCK Atal Pingalasthan, allowing me to contribute as a member of the extended Atal Family.
I am deeply mindful of the adage that “with great power comes great responsibility.” I have been entrusted with the significant honor of elevating the esteemed name of the Atal Family and the broader Leo community in my capacity as the original President of the Leo Club of Kathmandu Atal Indrawati.
A special mention must be made to all the Lion Mothers (Aamas) for their constant affection and care. Furthermore, any discussion of my Leo journey would be incomplete without acknowledging my brother and mentor, Leo Prabesh Kumar Karki. His exemplary guidance and steadfast support were instrumental in shaping my personal and leadership development. Under his mentorship, I evolved from a recent high school graduate into an individual capable of public speaking and organizing events for a considerable audience. The progression from merely attending events to presiding over them has been both an exciting and deeply rewarding personal achievement.
Thank you, Leo Club of Kathmandu Atal Pingalasthan, for the transformative opportunities you have provided.
“Once an Atal Always an Atal”
