- Ep 12: The Ep 12: Uncomfortable Truth About Entrepreneurship with Anand Bagaria | Riya Shrestha
Entrepreneurship isn’t glamorous and this conversation proves it.
In this episode of Rato Rupaiya, we sit down with Anand Bagaria, Managing Director of Nimbus Nepal and an Investor on Shark Tank Nepal for an honest, no-filter conversation about what it really takes to build and sustain a large business in Nepal.
This isn’t a success story.
It’s a reality check.
We talk about the parts of entrepreneurship people don’t post about ; self-doubt, shutting down ideas, pressure from money and people, and making decisions when there’s no clear answer.
You’ll hear about:
✓ The non-glamorous side of entrepreneurship
✓ Knowing when to quit and when to stay
✓ Building culture and ownership without equity
✓ Employees vs founders: who really builds a company
✓ Work-life balance, ambition, and burnout
✓ Failure, learning, and letting go of control
✓ How technology and robotics shape long-term thinking
✓ No clichés. No motivation talk.
✓ Just business, people, and money as they actually are.
