Roshan Bhattarai

Roshan Bhattarai is an entrepreneur who believes in the power of networking, curiosity, and proactive communication. When deciding whether to study computer science or photography for his bachelor's degree, he reached out directly to photographers in Nepal and Canada for guidance. He applied this same proactive approach when seeking admission to a United World College, using platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook to connect with people who could help him navigate the application process. Reflecting on his own college experience, during which he did not have home internet and only acquired a computer in his third year, he encourages today's students to recognize their luck and utilize their free time to build passive income.

In his professional endeavors, Roshan focuses on identifying market needs and creating win-win situations through digital platforms. He has experimented with the Nepalese market by launching an SEO-optimized blog about cars that generates thousands of monthly visitors and valuable sales leads, which he uses to pitch partnerships to showrooms. To navigate digital payment barriers, he utilizes travel cards to fund online advertisements and services. Roshan firmly believes that starting a business does not require upfront capital, advocating instead for dropshipping, leveraging existing marketplaces, and maintaining the consistency and persistence necessary to learn from mistakes.
