Once in a Lifetime Opportunity for Nepal to Rise | Ep. 279

The Doers Nepal – Nepal’s Longest Running Business Podcast

Global Trade, Local Impact: A Deep Dive into Nepal’s Economic Future

What if the biggest shake-up in global trade is Nepal’s once-in-a-generation opening? From US tariffs on India/China to our unique spot between two giants, this episode unpacks how Nepal can turn disruption into durable growth—today.

In this conversation, Bhupendra Khanal breaks down:

  -How US tariffs are reshaping sourcing—and why he moved Dogsee Chew orders to Nepal

  -Nepal’s edge as a bridge between India & China and a gateway to the US

  -The playbook to make Chhurpi a global Nepal brand (certifications, capacity, market access)

  -Value addition vs. “routing” (how to avoid the Vietnam penalty)

  -Why FTAs (EU, Japan, ASEAN, etc.) matter more than temporary tariff perks

  -Fixing the informality trap: tax base, SOPs, and formal economy growth

  -Smart ways to manage a future US trade surplus (ethanol, machinery, aviation policy)

  -Capital surplus in banks, phased convertibility, and investing abroad

  -Mindset: moving from self-doubt to pro-Nepal confidence and entrepreneurship as value creation

Whether you’re a student, operator, or founder, this episode gives you a strategic lens—and concrete steps—to play bigger from Nepal.
