  Can Nepal Become Asia's Next Outsourcing Hub? 23.07.2026 1h 17min

  What does it take to lead the Nepal operations of a global Japanese manufacturing technology company? We sat down with Saugat KC, Vice President at MISUMI Nepal, to explore how one of Japan's leading manufacturing technology companies is building its presence in Nepal. From global industrial supply chains and digital transformation to market expansion and operational leadership, this conversation offers a rare inside look at what it takes to lead a global business from Nepal. In this episode, we discuss: Why a Japanese manufacturing technology company with a global presence chose to invest in Nepal and what that says about the country's growing potential. How Saugat KC went from employee to co-inventor on patented technology within MISUMI. How he rates Nepali graduates against global talent, and where the biggest skill and mindset gaps still exist. Why many established Japanese manufacturers are accelerating digital transformation and how Nepal can position itself as a trusted engineering and technology partner. If you're building something in Nepal and think the world is too far away to notice, this conversation says otherwise. It reminds us that with the right talent, mindset, and ecosystem, Nepal has the potential to build for the world, not just within its own borders. The opportunity is real. The question is: are we ready to seize it? TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Highlights 06:08 – What Does MISUMI Do? 17:19 – After 13 Years in Japan, Did He Ever Think of Returning to Nepal? 28:26 – Isn't Having a Patent a Big Deal? 39:42 – Nepal Has a Blanket Policy for All Companies Wanting to Operate Here 50:07 – What's Missing in Nepali Graduates? 1:03:06 – How Difficult Is It to Be a Dad While Working for a Japanese Company? 1:10:24 – How MISUMI's Presence in Nepal Is Helping Build the Country's Brand Want to become a video podcaster?

  From billing ledgers to building the backbone of Nepal's lending infrastructure.   Meet Santosh Tamrakar, Managing Director of IMS SOFTWARE PRIVATE LIMITED   a Nepali entrepreneur who turned a billing and inventory tool into one of the country's key players in digital lending and financial infrastructure.   In this episode of The Doers, Santosh shares his journey building IMS Software from the ground up - from the early grind of selling billing systems banks and businesses didn't think they needed, to developing KBL IMS Digital Lending, MSME credit tools, and dynamic QR systems that now power everyday transactions. We explore the invisible discipline behind fintech infrastructure, the trust battles behind data-sharing and lending decisions, and what it really takes to build something the market doesn't know it needs yet.   Whether you're a founder, a tech enthusiast, or someone who's ever taken out a loan through an app without a second thought, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the unglamorous engineering behind Nepal's financial systems.   ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Want to become a video podcaster?

  Will AI Create The First One-Person Unicorn? 27.06.2026 1h 21min

  From writing his first lines of code at twelve to founding Intuji at fifteen and building a global digital transformation firm that works with manufacturers, wholesalers, and industrial businesses across continents. We're diving deep into why the most dangerous gap in business today isn't a talent gap or a capital gap, but a thinking gap. A failure to separate activity from outcomes.  This is a conversation with Julian Wallis about what it actually takes to build a business that compounds where your data, your systems, and your digital ecosystem become assets no competitor can replicate.  -What "QTIP" means, and why every founder needs to tattoo it on their brain before their next team meeting. -How the difference between a job and a task is the only thing standing between you and irrelevance in the next five years. -What "PSV thinking" is and why every tech investment decision should start and end with it. -How the companies that will dominate the next decade aren't the ones adopting AI fastest, they're the ones who own their data first. -Why high performers aren't in danger from AI, low performers are already gone. -What it actually means to build an "edge factor" and why most businesses are building features instead. And this episode is a masterclass in building things that last not just systems, but businesses that compound, compete, and win on their own terms. If you're building in Nepal, this is the conversation you didn't know you needed. 8   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Highlights05:23 - What's QTIP?08:50 - How Do You Find the Right People?10:58 - Meaning Behind the Name "Intuji"18:58 - What Do You Think About AI?26:58 - Difference Between a Job and a Task39:23 - Importance of Structured Data41:03 - "Data Is the New Currency" Finally Makes Sense44:24 - The Future of Software: UI & Large Language Models (SaaS)46:00 - Can a $100,000/Month Budget Build a Business with Almost No Human Involvement?48:30 - Why Product Companies Own Their Data but Service Companies Don't50:10 - How Giant Companies Keep Finding New Revenue Streams55:57 - How Should Nepal Be Branded as a Tech Nation?59:10 - Why the Government Has Made Doing Business in Nepal Difficult1:00:34 - What Bothers Julian Most About Doing Business in Nepal?1:04:54 - How to Choose One Tech Domain and Become an Expert1:06:51 - What Was Julian Like During His School & Childhood Days?1:10:33 - The Moment That Sparked Julian's Passion for Digital Transformation1:11:40 - What Bothers Julian in General?1:13:43 - "If I'm Doing Nothing, I Get Itchy."1:15:26 - We Overestimate One Year and Underestimate Ten Years1:16:28 - Why It's Easier to Give Up When Things Get Tough1:18:06 - Julian's Love for Nepal #TheDoers #TheDoersNepal #JulianWallis #Intuji #DigitalTransformation  ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Want to become a video podcaster?

  Why International Degrees Are Booming in Nepal | Explained by Expert with 30+ Years of Experience 14.06.2026 1h 33min

  We're diving deep into one of the most urgent and overlooked conversations in Nepal: the broken bridge between learning and earning.    This is an episode about what happens when a system designed for the last century tries to prepare young people for the next one.    Our guest has spent three decades at the intersection of education policy, vocational training, and workforce development: Dr. Usha Bhandari   In this episode, we talk about:   -Why the most dangerous thing in Nepal's education system isn't corruption. It's irrelevance. -Why "gap year" is a lie we tell ourselves and how that same period could be the most transformative labor market entry of a young person's life  -How degrees are becoming decorations while skills, attitude, and work-based learning become the real currency of employment  -Why we need to move past treating vocational skills as a lesser path  -Why internships without pay are exploitation disguised as opportunity   This is not just a conversation about education. This is a conversation about the future of work, the value of skill, and whether Nepal is ready to build a generation that doesn't have to leave home to find a worthy career.

  Most Companies Are Operating in Loss” | Why Nepal’s Remittance Companies Are Quietly Dying 14.06.2026 1h 49min

  $11.5 billion flows into Nepal every year through remittance. More than half of it never enters the formal system. And the companies legally processing the rest are operating at a loss.   Ritesh Mittal has spent 21 years inside this industry. In this episode he tells us everything the industry does not want to say out loud.   The informal economy, the collapsing margins, the Middle East risk, the skill development opportunity, and why the next big solution will come from a young Nepali willing to treat this problem as a personal mission.   This conversation is a mirror held up to Nepal: its ambitions, its failures, and the window of opportunity that is still, just barely, open. The clock is ticking, the money is moving, and Nepal needs to decide what side of history it wants to be on.    In this episode of The Doers Podcast, we talk about:   -Nepali diaspora sends $11.5 billion home every year, and more than half of it never enters the formal system. -Why has one of the most critical industries in Nepal been operating at a loss for years, and nobody is talking about it? -What happens to Nepal's economy the day Middle East instability forces millions of workers to come home? -How does a 21-year industry veteran watch his revenue grow and his profits collapse at the same time? -The remittance business built this nation, and it might be quietly dying. -Why skill development, not remittance, might be the real next frontier, and why young Nepalis are sleeping on it.     Timestamps: 0:00 – Episode Highlights 1:10 – Opening Conversation 7:05 – His Journey, Struggles & Early Hardships 14:18 – Building International Partnerships in the Remittance Industry 21:34 – Why Revenue Increased but Profits Declined 27:01 – Why Remittance Companies Are Remembered Only During Foreign Reserve Crises 33:36 – How Trade Activities Indirectly Facilitate Hundi Networks 47:30 – Why Remittance Companies Should Be Allowed to Open Foreign Bank Accounts 55:24 – The Social Consequences Emerging from Nepal’s Remittance Dependency 1:07:26 – Every Problem Becomes a Solution When Viewed Differently 1:13:10 – The Unexpected Countries Sending Remittance to Nepal 1:23:34 – Remittance Companies Pay Nearly 30% in Taxes 1:34:11 – Building Businesses in Industries He Initially Knew Nothing About 1:41:30 – Advice He Would Give to His Younger Self 1:46:40 – Closing Remarks  If you love reading, don't miss our newsletter on Substack Link: https://substack.com/@doersglobal?    Want to join us live in the studio as an audience member?

  Can Nepali youth really build startups or are we still stuck in the same cycle?   In this episode, we sit down with Niraj Khanal, an ecosystem enabler, startup mentor, and investor, to break down the reality of building startups in Nepal from the ground up.   From incubation to angel investment, this conversation explores how Nepal’s startup ecosystem is evolving, what’s still broken, and what founders need to understand before they start.   We talk about why most first-time founders struggle, the truth about funding and traction, and how mindset, not just money, determines whether a startup survives.   This episode also challenges common startup myths in Nepal from “investor bina startup hudaina” to the belief that ideas alone are enough.   More importantly, it highlights something deeper why youth struggle to build, how environment shapes ambition, and what needs to change if Nepal wants more job creators instead of job seekers.   If you’re a student, founder, or someone thinking about building in Nepal, this conversation will give you clarity on what it actually takes.    Timestamps: 00:00 Intro  02:12 PEVC growth and regulation in Nepal 05:03 First-time founders reality 07:13 Same problems from 2012 to 2026 09:46 Weak foundation of Nepal’s business ecosystem 13:08 What incubation actually does 17:24 Family-funded business culture 22:39 Investment thesis and decision making 27:45 Investors acting like bosses 30:44 India’s angel investor ecosystem 34:52 How founders actually make money 36:55 Diaspora interest in investing 43:38 Government’s role in ecosystem building 49:48 Core problem: coachability and mindset 01:01:34 Are parents holding youth back? 01:13:25 Why investors avoid certain founders 01:16:19 Youth seeing new possibilities   If you love reading, don't miss our newsletter on Substack Link: https://substack.com/@doersglobal?    Want to join us live in the studio as an audience member?

  Nepal's Hidden "Spiritual Economy": The Next Big Business Opportunity? 30.04.2026 1h 48min

  Nepal has a massive, hidden business opportunity that most people are completely missing.   We always proudly call Nepal the land of spirituality. But have we ever thought about it as a serious, global business? While the rest of the world is making billions in the wellness and faith industry, we are holding back on combining our own culture with tech and startups mostly because people feel shy or awkward about turning tradition into a business.   In this episode of The Doers, we sit down with Nirajan Bom M. (Founder of Vedicfeed) and Jesson Adhikari (Founder of Yagyashala Nepal). They are actively mixing our ancient traditions with modern technology to build real, growing companies.   What we talk about in this episode: -How to turn traditional "Pujas" into professional, easy-to-book services. -Why the future of business is about selling "inner peace" and good experiences. -The shocking reality of how AI and technology might soon replace basic astrology predictions. -If you want to start a business or create something new, this episode will show you exactly how to find huge opportunities right inside our traditional culture.   Timestamps  00:00 Intro 02:42 - Nepal's Hidden Spiritual Economy   07:22 - The Business Model of Faith: Custom Pricing Tiers   11:40 - Nepal's Real Asset: Selling Peace and Energy to Tourists   14:57 - Why Entrepreneurs Ignore the Spiritual Market   18:12 - The Pricing Gap: Imported Wellness vs. Local Potential   21:54 - The Struggles of Building a Spiritual Startup in Nepal   23:12 - How India Branded Yoga (And What Nepal Missed)   25:17 - The Corporate Taboo: Hiding Beliefs for Public Image   30:42 - Breaking the Social Stigma Around the Spiritual Industry   38:12 - The Global Shift: From Religion to Mental Wellness   47:42 - Building Systems: The Story of Yagyashala and Vedicfeed   57:52 - The Role of Data and Logic in Modern Astrology   01:05:02 - Commercializing Culture: The Challenges of Monetization   01:13:04 - Tech Disruption: Will AI Replace Human Astrologers?   01:19:07 - Productization: Shifting from Services to Scalable Products   01:20:26 - The Experience Economy: Packaging Vibes and Inner Peace   01:25:57 - Connecting the Next Generation to Traditional Roots   01:30:30 - Normalizing Spirituality as a Mental Health Solution   01:38:51 - The Blue Ocean Strategy: Nepal's Ultimate Trump Card   01:42:42 - Advice for New Founders: Where to Start Building?   01:46:16 - The Mindset Hack: Finding Opportunity Outside Your Comfort Zone   01:48:42 - Closing Thoughts: Exporting Nepal's Culture to the World   _______________________________________________________________________________________________ If you love reading, don't miss our newsletter on Substack Link: https://substack.com/@doersglobal?    Want to join us live in the studio as an audience member?

  High Growth Careers in Fintech (Inside Payment Systems) 28.04.2026 1h 9min

  #BusinessPodcast #DigitalPayments #Fintech We use payment systems every day. Scan, tap, done. But behind that one transaction…there’s a system most people don’t understand and a career path almost no one talks about. In this episode, we go inside Nepal’s payment ecosystem from cards and QR to the backend systems that power every transaction. We explore why payment systems are easy to use but hard to understand, why there is no formal education around this field, and how people are actually building careers inside it. This is a conversation about systems, not just usage and the growing opportunity for those who understand how money really moves. 🎯What we discussed: Why payment systems are complex beneath a simple user experience Lack of formal education in the payment/fintech industry Who gets hired in this field (and why freshers are entering) How to start learning and building a career in payments Card vs QR vs wallet — what actually powers transactions The knowledge gap in Nepal’s payment ecosystem Security, infrastructure, and global comparison Opportunities for startups and builders in fintech Real career journey inside banking and card systems Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:00 Why Is Payment So Hard to Understand? 03:10 Hiring Freshers in Payment Systems 07:28 Card vs Wallet vs Cash in Nepal 09:30 QR Payments Still Run on Card Systems 11:06 Growth of Dollar Cards in Nepal 16:00 Future of Payments Without Dollar Cards 25:30 Nepal vs Global Security in Payments 33:18 Nepal’s Payment System Is World-Class 42:30 Opportunities for Startups in Fintech 1:02:00 Career Journey in Payment Systems 1:05:19 Competing Globally from Nepal If you love reading, don't miss our newsletter on Substack Link: https://substack.com/@doersglobal?

  How Free AI Could Be Nepal's Biggest Shortcut to Better Education 28.04.2026 1h 32min

  #AI #NepalTech #OpenSource #DigitalNepalPrashish Rajbhandari has spent over a decade navigating the global tech ecosystem from Silicon Valley to the evolving Web3 and AI space. But what we’re seeing right now isn’t just another wave of innovation. It’s a tectonic shift. In this episode, we break down how AI has moved from simple autocomplete tools to powerful reasoning agents that can think, code, and execute end-to-end tasks. The barrier to high-level automation is collapsing, and the ceiling of what’s possible is rising every single day. More importantly, this isn’t just happening in Silicon Valley. This is about Nepal. A future where: “AI ले तिम्रो business लाई efficient बनाउँछ” From open-source models to real-world applications, this conversation explores how Nepal can leverage AI without paying the Silicon Valley price tag and what it takes to build in an AI-first world. 🎯 What we discussed: Why coding is becoming a “solved problem” The shift from AI tools to autonomous agents How open-source AI can solve local Nepali problems Why AI’s impact is compounding across every industry The real opportunity for Nepali startups in an AI-first world Why humans will still be the bridge between digital intelligence and the real world If you want to understand where technology is heading and how Nepal fits into that future, this is the conversation you need to hear.If you love reading, don't miss our newsletter on Substack Link: https://substack.com/@doersglobal?
