Hi everyone, this is Niraj from Sydney. Usually, in my previous episode, I interviewed a couple of international students living in Sydney and shared their experiences through the podcast and thank you so much for listening to those podcasts.

This is just a quick message I want to share with you guys because the situation has been changed due to this Corona epidemic.

This corona Covid 19 pandemic has changed the way we live, our behaviors and our lifestyle. I believe this is something unusual we have ever faced in our lifetime.

So, I want to share a message that I have learned from this pandemic.

Hi everyone, I recently visited Kathmandu after two and a half years. I was really excited to meet my family, relatives, friends and spend a good time with them. I also got an opportunity to get connect with a new person in my life. But this visit was not just limited to that. I was actually exploring the possibilities and opportunities to start up business in Nepal. So, I went to the National innovation Center and met Dr. Mahabir Pun. I also get engaged with the aspiring young innovators of the Innovation center where I shared my knowledge and experience from Sydney.

Raunak Koirala is an alumnus of CQUniversity, Sydney. Currently, he is working in the National Australian Bank as a Consultant. In this episode, I tried to explore his experience as an international student in Sydney. Please listen to the full episode to know about his experiences related to the university, internship and working in Sydney.

In this episode, I shared about my experience of being a part of four days of entrepreneurial workshops that happened at UNSW university in Sydney and facilitated by the Frank Team. I got an opportunity to learn about how we can start our entrepreneurial journey from the small idea, also learned to test and validate the business model and finally, how to scale it. 

Our team worked on an idea of food waste where we were focused on reducing the food waste of local restaurants in Sydney by helping them to sell their surplus food. The most surprising part was when we actually won the competition even we were not even top five at the Gala Round. Wanna know about how we won? 

Then, listen to the full episode.
