Digital Solution Pvt. Ltd. founder Robin Paudel discussed essential skills, cybersecurity awareness, and the importance of digital presence for success in Nepal’s changing business world on the ‘Bajarkochirfar Premium Podcast’.
Robin Paudel, who is the founder of Digital Solution Pvt. Ltd., is known for creating content on digital literacy, artificial intelligence (AI), cyber security, and financial awareness. He emphasized that the new generation must develop a wide range of skills to succeed in this fast-changing digital age.
During his talk on the ‘Bajarkochirfar Premium Podcast’, Paudel explained that relying on just one skill makes it hard to compete today. He highlighted that AI, good communication skills, and digital knowledge are becoming absolutely necessary for the future.
Paudel shared that his journey of creating content started about ten years ago with videos about agriculture. He began by sharing farming knowledge he learned in Syangja through videos. This journey has now grown to include content on digital literacy, cyber security, the Social Security Fund (SSF), financial education, and AI topics.
Understanding Cyber Security
Talking about the rise of cyber fraud in Nepal, Paudel pointed out that people often become targets for scammers because they tend to make emotional decisions. He explained that these fraud groups take advantage of fear, urgency, and curiosity. They create excuses like needing OTPs, KYC updates, or bank account details to try and get private information.
“Most of us makes emotional decisions rather than logical ones. Scammers use that weakness,” he stated. He strongly advised against sharing bank account information, OTPs, mobile banking passwords, or any other personal details with anyone.
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence
Paudel mentioned that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a thing for the future; it is a necessity right now. He believes that those who learn AI today will have a big competitive advantage in the coming days.
“Those who learned the internet first moved ahead. Now is the time for those who learn AI to move ahead,” he said. He added that while AI might change some traditional jobs, it will also create many new types of jobs.
Advice for Young Entrepreneurs
Offering advice to young people, Paudel suggested they learn as many skills as they can, gain experience in different areas, and find out what they are good at before they turn 30. After 30, he feels it’s important to have a clear direction for one’s career path.
He also noted that how businesses operate is changing. Paudel stressed that it will be difficult for businesses to compete without a strong digital presence. “Today, content is much more powerful than a physical storefront. A business with a good digital presence can find customer all over the country,” he remarked.
Financial Planning and Security
Paudel described the Social Security Fund (SSF) as an important way to ensure long-term financial security. He emphasized that people need to get the right information about it. Additionally, he shared his view that insurance should be seen as a tool for managing risks, not just for saving money. He suggested that term life insurance, which provides good risk coverage for a low premium, could be a suitable choice for many people.
