The Doers Nepal – Nepal’s Longest Running Business Podcast
In this episode, we have Manish Maheshwari, General Partner at BAT VC, former Twitter India CEO, and one of India’s top AI investors.
Along with him, we have Bhupendra Khanal, former founder of Simplify360 and current CEO of Doxy.
From decades of experience and exposure, they offer insights into the realities of today’s AI ecosystem. Most people think the AI boom means every AI startup will win.
But the truth is the opposite.
We’re in the middle of an AI bubble and when it bursts, 99% of today’s AI companies won’t survive.
In this conversation, they broke down:
-How do you differentiate a good AI company from a bad one?
-Why are LLMs rapidly becoming a commodity?
-How can platform dependency wipe out companies overnight?
-What should a founder really do after a life-changing exit?
And in a crowded AI market, what strategic advantages actually help you stand out?
This episode isn’t hype.
It’s a reality check for founders, creators, students, and anyone who wants to stay relevant in the next decade.

The Doers Nepal – Nepal’s Longest Running Business Podcast

- How to identify a great leader by their energy, not their words
- Why the last 30 days of your job matter more than the first 3 years
