Volunteering Experiences
TEDx Organizing Experience
I am proud to have played a pivotal role in the organization of TEDx events at my university. In 2019, I served as a dedicated team member for TEDxKathmandu University, contributing to the success of an event centered around the theme “Connecting Dots.” The event aimed to bring together diverse ideas, encouraging the audience to explore the interconnectedness of various concepts.
Building on that experience, I took on a leadership role as the lead organizer for the 2022 edition of TEDxKathmandu University. The theme for the 2022 event was “Future Worth Creating.” In this capacity, I oversaw the planning, coordination, and execution of the event, working closely with a dedicated team to curate talks and activities that explored the possibilities of the future. The event aimed to inspire and motivate attendees to envision and contribute to a future that is worth creating.
These experiences have been instrumental in honing my organizational skills, fostering teamwork, and contributing to the creation of intellectually stimulating and impactful TEDx events. I look forward to applying the lessons learned from these experiences in future endeavors.

Global Enterprise Experience 2021
I had the privilege of representing Kathmandu University School of Management in the 2021 Global Enterprise Experience, showcasing my prowess as a co-leader in a diverse, international team. In this competition, comprising 168 teams worldwide, my team tackled the challenge of developing a profitable venture aligned with a United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, all within a tight three-week timeframe.
Our team, consisting of members from Kenya, Malaysia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, and Thailand, navigated through varied time zones, linguistic differences, and diverse worldviews. The task required us to virtually connect, build a cohesive team culture, brainstorm creative ideas, select a project, conduct comprehensive research, and produce a high-quality proposal covering strategy, marketing, economic evaluation, financing, and implementation.
Our project, titled “Wuuddo,” not only addressed a social issue but also exemplified the power of business to contribute to positive change. This hands-on experience provided invaluable insights beyond the scope of traditional textbook learning.
Problem Solving Workshop
I had the privilege of contributing to the success of a two-day “Problem Solving Skill Development” workshop at Siddhartha Vanasthali Institute, Panauti. The workshop, organized by the Department of Management Informatics and Communication (DoMIC) at Kathmandu University, took place from December 24 to December 25, 2019.
Working as part of a dedicated team alongside Shephalika Dhakal, Diwash Bhattarai, and Anamol Sapkota, under the supervision of Mr. Durga Prasad Dhakal, our objective was to empower Grade 8 and 9 students with the skills to identify and solve societal problems.
This initiative was part of the broader program “Build to Solve”, which focuses on developing practical problem-solving skills for students in grades 8 to 12. It was a fulfilling experience contributing to the growth of young minds and fostering a culture of proactive problem-solving.
