How do you build a 450+ engineer tech company serving U.S. clients out of Nepal?
Most founders think it is about low costs. Himal Karmacharya, President of Leapfrog Technology, learned early on that U.S. decision-makers do not buy cheap. They buy trust and outcomes.
Here are three key reflections Himal shares on cracking the U.S. market:
-You need an ally on the ground: Cold outreach rarely works. Having a mentor or trusted client in the U.S. to validate your execution changes everything.
-Overcome the visibility gap: Diaspora networks are massive, but you have to build structural trust before doors open.
-Specialize or get commoditized: Winning in the U.S. requires moving from general engineering to deep domain expertise in sectors like healthcare and fintech.
If you are a founder looking to expand beyond domestic borders, this conversation provides a practical blueprint for global expansion.

Right after +2, in the early 2000s, he left Nepal for Texas to build a life and chase bigger dreams.
Two decades later, his company is building the bridges that connect terminal gates at DFW Airport.
Anup Tamrakar didn’t inherit an empire. He started by working at his father’s engineering practice in Nepal, tracing blueprints and even scrubbing bathrooms, long before “CEO” was ever part of the picture.
Today, he leads Urban Infraconstruction LLC, a 400-person heavy civil construction company working on the infrastructure that keeps Texas moving, from airport bridges to municipal water systems.
This isn’t another polished immigrant success story. It’s a conversation about what it really takes to build something at scale.
The difficult decisions, the risks, the setbacks, and the responsibility that comes with every step forward.
Featuring Anup Tamrakar, Founder, CEO, Urban Infraconstruction LLC
Strength Partners: Hama Steel
Episode airing soon. Stay tuned.

Fitness entrepreneur, fitness coach, and the host behind one of Nepal’s influential podcasts: Sushant Pradhan is stepping out from behind the host desk and into the guest seat for this episode!
We sat down for an unfiltered 1 on 1 conversation on what really happens behind the scenes of content creation, media, and networking.
We talked about:
-Why being effective on camera is an acquired professional skill rather than an extroverted personality trait
-How to build a high-impact network when you naturally despise traditional networking events, parties, and small talk
-What separates parasitic networking from symbiotic value creation and why cold outreach fails when you bring nothing to the table
-Why young creators need to spend six to twelve months quietly building a portfolio before trying to leverage high-profile connections
-How automating an inefficient workflow with artificial intelligence only scales your operational mistakes faster
-What the global shift toward open-source AI models means for local media companies and independent builders
-Why deep, multi-hour 1 on 1 conversations remain the ultimate mechanism for building trust, influence, and intellectual leverage
Your network isn't built in noisy rooms handing out business cards; it’s earned through the depth of your work and the quiet value you bring to the table.
If you're a founder or creator trying to build something that lasts in Nepal's changing digital landscape, missing this conversation isn't just an oversight. It's a missed blueprint.

What if Nepal’s biggest economic opportunity is sitting in its own fields?
For decades, Nepal has called itself an agrarian nation.
But if that’s true, why do we still depend so heavily on imports for the food we grow?
In this episode of The Doers Nepal, we sit down with Anand Bagaria, entrepreneur, business leader, and one of the Sharks on Shark Tank Nepal for a conversation that goes far beyond entrepreneurship.
We talk about:
-Why farming needs to be treated as a professional business
-The gap between Nepal’s agricultural identity and its strategic investment
-How commodities like soybeans can influence global trade, diplomacy, and food security
-Why Nepal needs focused national strategies for economic and energy independence
-And what Anand is looking for in the innovative, disruptive startups he hopes to back on the next season of Shark Tank Nepal.
Anand Bagaria brings decades of business experience to a question Nepal can no longer ignore:
Are we actually building the economic future we keep talking about?
Episode is now live. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

We hosted a episode with Director and Writer of Unko Sweater, Nabin Chauhan. He 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.
Stay Tuned for the episode.

Years of experience don't automatically guarantee results.
Skills can be taught, but execution, problem-solving, and the right mindset are what truly drive outcomes. Sometimes, someone with 2–3 years of hands-on grit will outperform a decade on paper.

Great ideas don’t build scale. Calculated execution does.
Meet Ananta Saurabh: a tech leader who operates where high-level vision meets gritty, hands-on execution. Over two decades, he has built, scaled, and led digital powerhouses across Nepal's tech and media ecosystem.
In this episode with Ananta Saurabh, we talk about:
-The real numbers behind Kantipur Media Group's digital growth
-Why he believes most media companies lost people's trust the moment they stopped serving the public and started serving themselves
-What "brain, tools, and skills" means in his blueprint for a company that runs itself on AI
-Why he calls himself "just a coding problem solver" who was making money without any purpose
-How Kantipur Media Group's ad revenue climbed from $10 a day to over $1000 a day, and what nearly destroyed it overnight
-Why he felt guilty charging money for his first laptop sale in India, and what he did about it
This is a conversation about walking away from things you built, on purpose, and starting over with nothing but conviction. For every young Nepali founder wondering if leaving is failure or freedom, this episode answers it without flinching.

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.
