Kurakani (informal discussion) with Sanjib Raj Bhandari and Kiran Joshi

Sanjib and Kiran are in town, and we have a good opportunity to interact with them and have a meaningful exchange of ideas in an informal setting. 

Sanjib is the first adopter of businesses in ICT sectors in Nepal.  He is running very successful businesses like Mercantile, nepalnews.com and many others.  He is a visionary and an entrepreneur. 

Kiran has worked for Disney Animation in the past and is credited for many of those successful movies we have enjoyed.  Currently he is running joint venture startups in US, Nepal and India.

Come and join this informal (non-techie!) discussion and learn more directly from those who are knee deep in Nepalese ICT sectors.  We will have opportunities to listen to their ideas and ask questions about our interest especially on these areas:

                  - current ICT Policy in Nepal
                  - state of current ICT infrastructure
                  - availability of trained personnel
                  - current joint ventures and new possibilities
                  - how can CAN-USA be a partner?

                  - future outlook
