The Untold Story of Unko Sweater: What It Takes to Create a Masterpiece | Director, Unko Sweater

Nabin Chauhan grew up in Nawamidanda, a village in Panchthar so remote that roads never reached it. He tried his hand at business and watched it fail before cinema ever entered the picture. By the time Unko Sweater was released, he wasn't a filmmaker chasing a dream, he was a man who had already been humbled enough times to tell a story without pretending.    In this episode, we talk:    -Why owning your YouTube distribution platform early changes the power dynamics of modern filmmaking forever. -What actually happens behind closed doors when navigating censor board delays, tight release windows, and sleepless production nights. -Why true leadership on set relies on human kindness and operational discipline rather than artificial hype or ego. -What "global cinema" truly means when you eliminate regional boundaries and design stories that transcend language. -Why the ultimate evolution for a visionary creator is transitioning from a solo director to building a whole creative ecosystem for other artists. The film made रू11 crore on a budget of रू2 crore, but the number was never the point for Chauhan, the point was proving a story from a roadless village in Panchthar could hold a country's attention. If you're building something in Nepal and think your background isn't cinematic enough to matter, this says otherwise.

  From Wall Street trading floors to Nepal's hydropower-fed data centers, we're diving deep into the collision of artificial intelligence, banking, and national ambition a conversation about who controls the future of money, why accountability matters more than speed, and whether a young, resource-rich nation like Nepal can finally stop importing outcomes and start exporting intelligence with Pravesh Rijal.   In this episode, we talk about:   -Why does a Wall Street quant with a PhD in transformer architecture believe Nepal can leapfrog nations decades ahead of it -How $24 billion sitting in Nepali bank vaults and $10 billion in yearly remittance could become the country's biggest untapped weapon -What happens when AI stops being a tool humans use and starts becoming the distribution channel for all of finance -Why banks are terrified fintechs are quietly stealing the one thing that actually matters — data -How a 2017 research paper called "Attention Is All You Need" secretly built the foundation for every AI tool the world uses today -What it really means when a bank tells you "we're just custodians" while billions move invisibly through their rails -Why speed without accountability is the fastest way to destroy trust in the age of AI -How Nepal's 9-10% remittance transaction cost is silently taxing millions of families every single month -What the future of embedded finance looks like when banks disappear completely and come to you instead This episode asks the one question every Nepali dreamer needs to sit with: are we ready to stop importing outcomes, and finally start exporting intelligence. Because the tools exist. The talent exists. The only thing left to decide is whether we're bold enough to use them.   TIMESTAMPS   00:00 Introduction 04:54 What is Quant? 09:54 "Attention Is All You Need" Is the Foundation of GPT 12:16 My PhD Research Is on Transformers 14:19 Our Philosophy at Cross River 21:13 Where Is Fintech Headed Globally? 28:41 Embedded Finance Might Become Bigger Than Fintech 33:18 The Biggest Moat Is Intelligence and Distribution 35:06 The First Decentralized Data Marketplace Developed in Nigeria 40:00 Something Is Happening in Nepal 45:21 Cities Are More Similar Than Countries 50:16 What Is a Stablecoin? 1:05:20 How Would You Train the Next Generation Differently?

Director of Talent Development and AI Education at Fusemachines, Rojesh M. Shikhrakar, has spent nearly a decade building and working with AI systems, long before the world knew what a prompt was and long before ChatGPT made "artificial intelligence" a dinner-table phrase. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on what's actually happening inside the machines we've started trusting with our decisions, our classrooms, and possibly our future economy. In this episode, we talk about: Why token costs are dropping 40x while model intelligence is compounding 1,000x, and what that math means for anyone building today. How predictive policing exposes the one thing AI still cannot do, forecast human social outcomes with any real accuracy. What "human in the loop," "on the loop," and "off the loop" actually mean for the jobs disappearing first. Why hallucination isn't a bug that will eventually be fixed. It's a permanent tax the industry has quietly accepted. How Nepal could build sovereign AI infrastructure instead of renting intelligence from someone else's data center. What happens to entry-level hiring when AI makes junior-level output senior-level ready almost overnight. Why competing with China, India, or the US on AI is the wrong game, and what the right one looks like. How philosophy, not code, might ultimately define where artificial intelligence goes next. This isn't a conversation about tools. It's about who gets to hold power when intelligence becomes cheap enough for anyone to buy. Rojesh M. Shikhrakar makes an uncomfortable case for why Nepal cannot afford to sit this one out. Watch it before your competitors do.

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?

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.
