The Doers Nepal – Nepal’s Longest Running Business Podcast

Dileep Dhakal left behind a wonderful career in Silicon Valley and even a role at Apple to pursue a bold mission: to build Nepal’s first truly global-scale product — Veel App.

Why would someone leave Apple ? one of the world’s most prestigious companies, to start from scratch in Nepal? The answer lies in Dileep’s vision to create impact from Nepal to the world.

In this conversation, Dileep Dhakal reveals:

  • His journey from high school coding → Walmart → Google Ventures → Apple → launching Veel App from Nepal
  • Why he believes the creator economy is broken (and how Veel is fixing it)
  • The mindset shift from “employee at global giants” to “founder building in Nepal”
  • Why “Minimum Lovable Product (MLP)” beats MVP in product innovation
  • The harsh truths about building startups in Nepal and why most fail
  • How Nepal can position itself on the global product-building map
  • Practical advice for young Nepalis on growth, leadership, and entrepreneurship

Whether you’re a student, a professional, or an aspiring founder, Dileep’s story will challenge your perspective and push you to think bigger.
