I'm Aakash Das, founder of RisePaisa, a Nepal-focused financial education platform. I create practical educational content and digital tools that help people understand investing, banking, taxation, fintech, and personal finance.
Building transparent, accessible, and structured financial education systems tailored to Nepal's economic reality.
Financial literacy in Nepal is too often fragmented, overly academic, or obscured by speculative market noise. My mission is to make real financial understanding simple, practical, and universally accessible.
My background in finance began with a rigorous focus on how capital, accounting, and regulation operate in Nepal. During an intensive year of Chartered Accountancy coursework with The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), I studied financial accounting, auditing principles, corporate taxation, and financial management. That foundational period provided a thorough grasp of financial statements, balance sheets, and statutory frameworks.
Recognizing that everyday Nepalis needed practical systems rather than theoretical accounting treatises, I made a conscious transition into technology and public financial education. Currently studying Information Technology at Coventry University (delivered via Softwarica College in Kathmandu), I combine financial analysis with software engineering to design client-side interactive calculators and structured learning roadmaps that help Nepali youth and diaspora earners build lasting financial discipline.
A transparent chronological record of education, intentional career transitions, and venture development.
Completed higher secondary school education focused on biological sciences. Built analytical discipline, participated in national-level mathematics and science exhibitions presented before Nepal's Chief of Army Staff, and engaged in inter-school debates and leadership societies.
Pursued one year of intensive foundational studies in financial accounting, corporate taxation, auditing standards, and financial management. After one year, made an intentional and professional decision to transition into information technology and scalable digital financial education rather than completing the full professional qualification. (Foundational coursework completed; discontinued before full qualification; not CA qualified).
Currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree in Information Technology. Studies focus on software engineering, relational database systems, web applications, and computational logic—directly informing the development of RisePaisa's mathematical calculation engines and digital platform. (Degree in progress; expected completion August 2028).
Established RisePaisa to address Nepal's critical financial education gap. Designed and engineered 12 mathematical calculation tools verified against statutory rules (NRB, IRD, SEBON) and created structured learning roadmaps, articles, and financial calculators for Nepali earners.
Launched a specialized educational project dedicated to demystifying the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE). Produces practical guides on DEMAT accounts, CDSC MeroShare, C-ASBA IPO mechanics, broker commissions, and disciplined fundamental analysis.
