"Most of the wallets and PSOs in Nepal run on our platform, and nobody knows about us."   In this episode, we sit down with the founders of One Point, the "invisible backbone" of the fintech industry. While you might use eSewa, Khalti, or Fonepay every day, you probably didn't know that the middleware making those transactions possible is often powered by One Point.   From the high stakes "last minute" launch of Nepal Payment Solution (NPS) to implementing world first banking technology in countries like Jordan, Myanmar, and Cambodia. This conversation is a masterclass in building a global tech product from Nepal.   In this episode, we talk about   -The "Dirty Tech" Philosophy: Why building unglamorous middleware is a million dollar idea. -Going Global: How One Point successfully entered diverse markets across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.  -The Open Banking Revolution: Why the future of finance isn't just an app, but a connected ecosystem. -Pricing for Disruption: How One Point provides 5x more value at a fraction of the cost of global giants. -The DIY Platform: Why the best enterprise software is the one where the customer never has to call support.   Timestamp 1:12 — How OnePoint Got Its Name 3:19 — From fax based to digital remittance journey 6:13 — Even the central bank couldn’t give clarity 13:03 — Story of how ATM was hacked 15:57 — COVID was blessing in disguise 20:09 — How pricing was set for their product? 24:02 — Almost every Nepali banks are using our middleware 28:20 — What is open banking? 36:14 — The Role of Regulators in Open Banking 46:32 — How similar/different is open banking from embedded finance 51:29 — Type of tech companies in Nepal 53:43 — Implementing technology that is not accepted in Nepal 1:00:49 — Future plan of Onepoint 1:01:29 — Our best customer don’t call us 1:03:59 — The only company in Nepal 1:05:27 — One of the few Nepali companies to be Gartner listed 1:10:47 — There is no AI without API 1:12:59 — How much do Nepali banks pay you? 1:18:58 — Team of 15–20 people that aim to serve 100 international organizations 1:23:30 — Nepali population adapts technology fast 1:24:42 — Suggestion to policymakers from the executives of Onepoint   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 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?

#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?

#AI #NepalTech #OpenSource #DigitalNepal Prashish 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.

After years of political instability Nepal now has a new government and rising expectations for reform. In this episode we explore whether sectors like agriculture can finally see meaningful change. Nepal is often called an agriculture country yet billions worth of food and agricultural inputs are still imported every year. Why has agriculture in Nepal struggled to reach its potential despite having land, water and manpower? Our guest Pranab Lohani, a greenhouse farming entrepreneur who returned to Nepal after a career on Wall Street, shares his experience building an agriculture business and the challenges he faced. The conversation explores the structural issues in Nepal’s agriculture sector including irrigation fertilizer imports, land prices, infrastructure and policy stability. We also discuss the opportunities that exist for young entrepreneurs in agriculture beyond traditional farming.   Timestamps   0:00 Building an Agriculture Product in Nepal 4:10 How to Maintain Consistency in Farming 8:44 Why Food Security Is National Security 11:02 Nepal Imports 4 Kharba Worth of Food Every Year 15:15 The Irrigation Problem Holding Nepal Back 20:10 Why Most Agricultural Land Still Has No Irrigation 26:59 Hybrid Seeds That Changed Global Agriculture 27:00 Pesticides and the Reality of Modern Farming 28:30 Why Nepal Still Has No Fertilizer Factory 30:10 Organic Fertilizer and the Rise of Vermicompost 34:10 Hidden Opportunities in Nepal’s Agriculture Ecosystem 37:52 Mulching and Saving Water in Farming 38:39 Drip Irrigation and Efficient Agriculture 43:25 How Land Prices Are Killing Agriculture 48:59 Why Young Nepalis Are Leaving the Country 51:23 How Land Plotting Is Destroying Farm Land 57:11 The Biggest Tax Problem for Entrepreneurs 1:00:20 Nepal’s Last 5 Year Leader and Political Stability 1:07:34 Why Infrastructure Matters for Agriculture 1:20:48 Pranab Lohani’s Journey from Wall Street to Farming 1:31:03 Agriculture Jobs Are Growing in Nepal 1:31:57 You Don’t Need a Farm to Work in Agriculture Article Link: https://ukaalo.com/news/32468/  By Pranab Lohani   ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 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?

Most people believe success follows a straight line. Study hard. Get a degree. Get a stable job. Climb the ladder.   But what happens when life doesn’t follow that script?   At 22, he was driving night buses between Bhairahawa and Kathmandu. At 47, he led Nepal’s largest ISP as CEO.   In this conversation, Keshav Nepal shares why he has no regrets about the road he took — and why trying to plan your entire life at 20 might be the biggest mistake you can make.   After losing his father at 17, responsibility came early. Driving buses wasn’t a setback. It was a season.
