The longer story
Born in a small village called Devpur, Kavre, Nepal — the youngest of five, to a school teacher and a housewife.
Started working at 17 as a cricket journalist. Dropped undergraduate physics for entrepreneurship, and a love of coffee and books led me to open Palpasa Cafe at 20. It failed. I took a year off and travelled to Dolpa — one of the remotest parts of the world — to teach in a school. Dolpa taught me most of what I know about life and death, success and failure. It still drives me.
I came back fascinated by Bitcoin and blockchain, started a cybersecurity company with friends, and wrote my thesis on reducing remittance costs with blockchain in 2020. My first international break was helping Zebec build and raise $32M during Solana summer. I made my first $100k from 2.5 SOL — and lost most of it trading NFTs.
In 2022 I co-founded Mokshya Protocol as an open-source studio and won a grant from the Aptos Foundation to build Wapal. I got into perps trading, and have been trading almost daily since. In late 2025, with the support of my mentor Mr. Bala Chandrasekaran, I moved to Dubai to build something lasting — and to give back.
Married my love Anupa in early 2025, after 6+ years together. Today I build open-source infrastructure, secure smart contracts, and chase the next big thing — one shipped tool at a time.
