NJ Subedi’s journey is an inspiring example of how self-learning, experimentation, and persistence can turn ideas into successful businesses. After stepping away from college, he pursued his entrepreneurial ambitions.Through Yarsa Games, the company entered the global mobile gaming industry, reaching millions of users and demonstrating that products developed in Nepal can succeed internationally.

But his vision extends beyond gaming. Through Yarsa Tech, NJ is working toward expanding Nepal’s electronics and hardware manufacturing capabilities, with the ambition of creating technology products locally rather than relying heavily on imports

However, building technology businesses in Nepal comes with significant challenges, including high operating costs, taxes on imported components, limited payment infrastructure, and difficulties protecting intellectual property. NJ has called for policy reforms to reduce unnecessary costs, support IT exports, improve access to international payment systems, and create a more business-friendly environment for Nepali technology companies.

His journey raises an important question: Can Nepal become a country that not only consumes technology but also builds and exports it to the world?

In this episode, We sat down with Dheeraj kumar Agrawal. No degree. No safety net. Today, Dhiraj Kumar Agarwal, founder of Ten Group, runs a Rs 400 crore business empire in Nepal. Most people would have given up.

Dhiraj turned to the one thing the accident couldn't take from him: his mind. Starting in hardware in 2011, he built from zero, with no academic strength to lean on, only courage and a refusal to let adversity define him. Over the years, that mindset grew into one of Nepal's biggest business stories. In this conversation, he goes back to the beginning: the accident, the self-doubt, the people who underestimated him, the risks that could have ended everything, and how he built an empire with his mind.

◼ Who is responsible when rape happens—the perpetrator, society, institutions, or a system that fails to protect survivors?

◼ Why stricter laws alone may not be enough—and where Nepal’s justice system and institutions are failing

◼ What should actually happen when a rape or sexual violence case is reported—and how survivors should be supported

◼ What high-profile cases reveal about the gap between Nepal’s laws, institutions and reality
