In this episode, I talk to Nikita Rajbhandari, a former UN employee who has been hiding a big secret from her parents for three years: she is the CXO of Zite, a project monitoring and management tool that helps organizations make data-driven decisions in real-time. She reveals how she started and scaled her tech company, which won the She Loves Tech 2020 Nepal Local Round, and what challenges she faced as one of the 0.5% of Nepali female tech entrepreneurs. She also shares her wisdom and inspiration for aspiring innovators and changemakers.

We also dive into her personal life and how she deals with the Nepali societal pressure of being 35 and unmarried, while her younger sister is already married. She opens up about her decision to not have children and how she voices her opinion in a culture that expects women to conform to traditional roles. She also tells me about a brutal motorbike accident that left her bedridden for three months and how she overcame the physical and mental struggles of losing her independence as an independent woman. She talks about how she re-learned how to walk and what limitations she still faces today.

This is a powerful and inspiring conversation that you don't want to miss. Tune in to Bottom Up Episode 8: The Secret Tech Entrepreneur.
