From a Syangja village to Digital Solution: scams, SSF, insurance and AI

The Amit Show · with Amit Jha · Nepali
Digital payments, content creation, AI tools, insurance and SSF explained
Rabin on why QR payments sometimes fail, how Digital Solution started, what it takes to begin content creation today, and a plain-language guide to term, endowment and health insurance and SSF contributions.
Podcast hosted by Kishan · with Kishan · Nepali
Content as a business, AI for every profession, and the gap in local information
Why Digital Solution was founded in Mangsir 2079 (late 2022) after leaving a municipality job, why Nepali creators should pair content with a real business, and how everyone from farmers to accountants can use AI as a tool rather than a decision-maker.
The journey
From a village in Syangja to teaching AI in Nepali
Physics in Pokhara, computer labs with Danish volunteers, a date farm in Israel, a municipality job, then a company, a course and two awards. Every milestone is dated and sourced.
