The Doers Nepal -Podcast

Will AI Create The First One-Person Unicorn?

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

FASTO's Founder's Take on Entrepreneurship, AI & Nepal's Future

Building one of Nepal’s ambitious supply chain ecosystems (Fasto) to exploring AI, education, government transformation, founder psychology, and the future of national development, we’re diving deep into what it really takes to build systems that outlast trends in this upcoming episode. 

 

We dive deep into:   

-Why confidence is a myth and clarity is the only thing that actually builds successful founders 

-How a sovereign AI strategy could decide whether Nepal becomes a tech consumer or a tech creator

-What 60% of government spending going to administrative costs reveals about Nepal's hidden inefficiency crisis

-Why "this is the best time to come back to Nepal" isn't just optimism. It's a calculated bet.

-How Nepal's youth skill gap could become its biggest opportunity or its deepest failure

-Why founders, not corporations, are becoming the most powerful storytellers and the most dangerous ones

-What spirituality has to do with building a business empire

-How supply chains quietly shape the future of an entire nation 

 

This is a conversation about clarity in an age of information overload, optimism in a country full of untapped potential, and why the next generation of entrepreneurs may have more opportunity than any generation before them.

 

If you're thinking about startups, technology, policy, AI, or Nepal’s future on the global stage. This episode will challenge how you think about growth, progress, and what comes next.

Why International Degrees Are Booming in Nepal | Explained by Expert with 30+ Years of Experience

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.

Why He Left US To Build In Nepal | 20+ Years in Private Equity

From the corridors of the World Bank in Washington DC to the chaotic streets of Kathmandu, we're diving deep into the untold truths of Nepal's private capital markets, the illusions of a venture ecosystem, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in a country the world keeps underestimating. 

 

This is a conversation about conviction, and the quiet courage of coming home. Dipta Shah, who chose to trade a global career to build back in Nepal. 

 

In the upcoming episode, we talk about:

-How Nepal's so called "venture capital" market is not a venture capital market 

-How "grantrepreneurs" are silently killing Nepal's startup ecosystem 

-How a bootstrapped company with zero offices is quietly placing Nepali freelancers in global market and growing 100% year on year

-How AI is reshaping power, opportunity, and inequality across the world

-Why digital labor may become Nepal’s strongest export

 

While the rest of the world races toward AI, infrastructure, and innovation, Nepal is running out of time to decide whether it wants to compete or simply watch from the sidelines.

Most Companies Are Operating in Loss” | Why Nepal’s Remittance Companies Are Quietly Dying

$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.

Nepal’s NID System is Not Safe | Why Cyber Security Must Become Nepal's #1 Priority

Meet Bijay, a cybersecurity entrepreneur working at the intersection of AI, national security, and digital infrastructure. With experience across SaaS security, enterprise systems, and AI-powered cyber defense, he works with national and international clients while actively advocating for stronger cybersecurity standards in Nepal.

 

In this conversation, Bijay explains why cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue, but a national security priority. From AI-generated malware and cyber warfare to Nepal’s outdated policies, data privacy risks, and the future of AI-driven attacks, he explores how technology is evolving faster than governments and organizations can adapt.

 

In this episode of The Doers Podcast, we talk about:

 

-Why cybersecurity is now a national security issue, not just an IT problem

-How AI is changing both cyber defense and cyber warfare

-Why Nepal still operates on outdated cybersecurity policies from 2012

-Why young Nepali cybersecurity talents are world class but lack direction

-Why future wars may begin with cyber attacks, not missiles

-What Nepal must do to build a billion dollar cybersecurity industry

-Why “secure by design” is becoming mandatory in the AI era

 

From AI threats to digital warfare, from policy failures to untapped Nepali talent, this conversation goes deep into the future of cybersecurity, national resilience, and Nepal’s place in the global tech ecosystem.
