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.

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.

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.
And every season has its own job.
We talk about:
– Why you can’t live your 40s in your 20s
– Why career growth is not linear
– The danger of over-planning your future
– What success actually means after 40+ years
– Why he chose to step down at the peak
– And what young people get wrong about ambition
This isn’t a motivational story.
It’s a perspective shift.
If you’re in your 20s, confused about career, feeling behind, or overthinking your future — this episode will change how you see time, ambition, and growth.
Career is lived forward.
Understood later.
Watch till the end.

After spending 23 years in mainstream journalism at Kantipur, Ghanashyam Khadka chose to pause and reflect.
In this conversation, Ghanshyam speaks openly about what decades inside the newsroom taught him. Not just about society, but about the human mind. He reflects on how constant negativity, breaking news, and outrage-driven media shape the way people think, feel, and react both individually and collectively.
We talk about:
-why we feel angry and overwhelmed despite living in a relatively peaceful time
-how “you become what you consume” applies to news and social media
the darker side of negativity-driven journalism
-what Solution Journalism actually means
-why mindfulness is missing from public life
-and why he decided to step away from mainstream media
Ghanashyam also shares his journey into mindful living, writing, and building a new platform, Nepal Bolchha, focused on solutions and stories of people who are quietly doing good.
This episode is a slow, thoughtful conversation about journalism, awareness, responsibility, and the kind of society we are becoming.

In this episode, Subhas Sapkota, CEO of Yeti Airlines and former CEO of eSewa, shares his lived experience leading across fintech, aviation, and education in Nepal.
The conversation moves across three industries where Subash has held senior leadership roles and made long-term decisions inside complex systems.
We begin with fintech. After years of leading eSewa and helping build it into a trusted digital wallet, Subash chose to step away from the CEO role even when everything was working well. In this episode, he explains why he left, what the “what next” moment looked like, and why he chose not to return to the wallet business again.
In aviation, Subash shares his experience as the CEO of Yeti Airlines, where he took charge during a challenging period and led changes that helped move the company from loss to profit. He talks about the realities of running an airline in Nepal, the impact of policy and taxation, and how leadership decisions shape outcomes in a highly regulated industry.
In education, the conversation turns to a problem he observed repeatedly as an employer and the gap between academic degrees and real-world readiness. Drawing from his experience at Yeti Airlines, eSewa, and F1Soft International, Subash explains why finding truly job-ready individuals is difficult. This led him to co-found two colleges in Nepal focused on practical, skill-based learning rather than rote education.
Across all three industries, one pattern becomes clear:
different sectors, different challenges but the same way of thinking behind leadership decisions.
This episode is for anyone interested in:
- leadership inside Nepal’s systems
- making hard decisions when things are working
- understanding how thinking transfers across industries
- building long-term value rather than chasing short-term wins
🎙️ Watch the full conversation to hear how these experiences connect and what they reveal about leadership in Nepal.
