Last Monday, Prakash Koirala, 29, who is currently in Canada for studies, received an email from Forbes magazine. That email informed Koirala, who had conducted financial literacy programmes in many villages of Nepal, that he was featured on the list of the 30 most influential youth in the finance and venture capital world in Asia.
Koirala says that he then immediately checked the official website of the magazine and found his name on the updated list of the Forbes 30 Under 30 for Asia.
Swimmer Gaurika Singh and Koirala made it to the list this year from ‘entertainment and sports’ and ‘finance and venture capital’ categories respectively. Koirala says this was beyond his expectation. “I was well-aware that I made it to the top 2,500 from the 10,000 nominees. However, I never thought that I would be in the top 30.”
