Are you working on any exciting new projects now? How do you think that will help people?

Borderless Consulting, is currently involved in several multisectoral projects, but the most significant project we are involved in is in Nepal, where we are engaged in investments. We will also be undertaking a 368M USD project in Nepal, which involves three 5-star hotels, one hydro station of 128MW, one waste management project, and one 4-star hotel in Dubai, among other ventures in numerous countries. Having witnessed the transformative power of technology firsthand, I also had the privilege of working in the banking sector, contributing to the development of various systems and regulatory processes. These projects will support the country’s sustainability, growth, employment, and pollution reduction.

Thank you for that. Let’s now shift to the central focus of our discussion. Extensive research suggests that “purpose-driven businesses” are more successful in many areas. When your company started what was its WHY, its purpose?

When Borderless Consulting began its journey, our driving force was to redefine the current conventional approach to consulting by fostering innovation, diversity, and collaboration. Our purpose was to break down geographical barriers and provide unparalleled global solutions. We aimed to create a positive impact not only within the organization but also in the communities we engage with. Our commitment to being a purpose-driven business has been instrumental in shaping our values, guiding our decisions, and fueling our success.

Do you have a “number one principle” that guides you through the ups and downs of running a business?

Our main focus at Borderless Consulting is client success, through the ups and downs of running our business, we prioritize delivering value to our clients. This principle shapes our decisions, strategies, and day-to-day operations, ensuring that we consistently with client expectations and build long-life relationships, It is our main focus, in steering us through challenges and propelling us towards sustained growth and excellence.

If a fellow business leader would ask you for advice about whether to bootstrap or to look for VC capital, how would you help them weigh the pros and cons of that decision?

From our experience at Borderless Consulting, I would advise fellow business leader to examine their path roadmap on the nature of business and growth, I would advise a fellow business leader to carefully consider the nature of their venture and its growth trajectory, this fundamental provides autonomy and control but may limit the pace of expansion. On the other hand, seeking VC capital can inject substantial resources for rapid growth but involves relinquishing some control, it’s important to evaluate the stage of your business, the urgency for scaling, and the level of control you’re comfortable ceding. This allows you to maintain ownership and decision-making but may require a longer path to growth. VC funding can expedite growth but comes with expectations and a diluted ownership stake, consider your industry competition, and market trends. Understanding the specific needs of your business and aligning them with the advantages and possible drawbacks of each approach will help you make an informed decision tailored to your unique circumstances.

What measure do you use to determine the value of a company? What advice would you give to other leaders about how to get an optimal evaluation of their business?

At Borderless Consulting, we employ a comprehensive approach to determine the value of our company. We consider financial metrics such as revenue, profitability, and cash flow, but also there are other considerations to look beyond the numbers., client satisfaction, employee engagement, and the overall impact we make in the market contribute significantly to our perceived value, for other leaders seeking an optimal evaluation of their business, I would advise a balanced assessment. It’s crucial to understand the financial health of the company, analyzing key performance indicators and assessing growth potential. However, equally important is evaluating intangible assets such as brand reputation, client relationships, and the strength of the team, also engaging external experts for a thorough valuation, staying updated on industry benchmarks, and having a clear understanding of market dynamics can provide valuable insights, regularly reviewing and enhancing operational efficiency, innovation, and maintaining strong stakeholder relationships also contribute to an optimal evaluation. The convergence of both financial and non-financial aspects offers a more realistic perspective of a company’s true value.

What would you advise to a founder who initially went through years of successive growth, but has now reached a standstill. From your experience do you have any general advice about how to boost growth and “restart their engines?

There are facts that an entrepreneur needs to consider which are setbacks, conduct a thorough analysis of the current market landscape, customer needs, and industry trends it’s a need to maintain business flowing and also identify opportunities that might emerge in a way to be able to do business offerings according clients needs promoting insights to refine products and or services, diversification and exploration of new markets and promote new lines of business, have collaboration with partners and alliances will open doors to new opportunities, be updated with current technologies to optimize processes and create new revenue streams for strong business growth, creation of marketing and branding to attract new customers and off course the readiness of adapt to challenges to maintain growth.

What are the most common finance mistakes you have seen other businesses make? What should one keep in mind to avoid that?

In my opinion In my observation, some common finance mistakes that businesses often make include inadequate cash flow management or misguided management of cash flow forecasting finances is crucial to always have a buffer to adapt to unexpected situations, creation of an extensive and comprehensive budget to have full control of all operations and this way assign resources and company goals, not having accurate forecast and financial projections make it impossible to make informed decisions and or strategies, and always consider to have contingency plans in action to better access any impact that could have been out of approach, having updated a financial record ledger is critical for no only for transparency of operations and company but also for compliance, to avoid any unexpected conditions its important to prioritize all financial management for proper conduction of operations and company.

What are the most common finance mistakes you have seen other businesses make? What should one keep in mind to avoid that?

At Borderless Consulting, our journey has revealed five crucial insights for achieving success. First and foremost, embracing technological advancements is key. We’ve experienced significant benefits by incorporating advanced financial software, automating routine tasks, and allowing our team to concentrate on strategic decision-making. Another vital aspect is global market awareness; closely monitoring trends and geopolitical shifts has enabled us to anticipate currency fluctuations and strategically hedge against potential financial risks. Additionally, strategic risk management has been instrumental in navigating economic uncertainties, exemplified by diversifying our investment portfolio to shield us from market volatility. Prioritizing data security and compliance is non-negotiable, as demonstrated through the implementation of robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive financial information, building trust among clients and stakeholders. Lastly, investing in talent development and retention, fostering a culture of continuous learning, and promoting professional growth have not only attracted top talent but have also contributed to a dynamic and innovative work environment. In essence, success in the modern finance industry its hes technological proficiency, global market acumen, strategic risk management, commitment to data security and compliance, and a focus on nurturing and retaining top talent — elements that have played a pivotal role in shaping our success story at Borderless Consulting.

What are the most common finance mistakes you have seen other businesses make? What should one keep in mind to avoid that?

In our fast-paced industry, preventing burnout is essential for long-term success. Here are some practical tips I would offer to my colleagues at Borderless Consulting, prioritizing work-life balance is crucial. Striving for a healthy balance between work and personal life, setting clear boundaries, taking breaks, and making time for personal interests contribute to overall well-being.

Developing effective time management skills is key. Prioritizing tasks, setting realistic deadlines, and avoiding overcommitting can significantly reduce stress and enhance productivity.

Creating an environment where open communication is valued is essential. Regular check-ins, team meetings, and an approachable leadership style can help identify potential sources of stress and address them accordingly. Introducing wellness programs, mental health support, or flexible work arrangements, can significantly contribute to a healthier and more sustainable work environment.

Recognizing the importance of delegation is another valuable tip. Distributing responsibilities not only empowers team members but also prevents the accumulation of excessive workload on individuals. Fostering a culture of continuous learning is important. Encouraging skill development and providing opportunities for professional growth not only keeps the team engaged but also ensures they stay ahead in the fast-evolving finance industry.

Acknowledging and celebrating achievements, both big and small, is a final crucial practice. Recognizing accomplishments boosts a positive atmosphere to all stakeholders, and helps team members feel appreciated. By incorporating these practices into the work culture, it’s important to not get to burnout stages, it’s about creating a supportive and balanced both professional success and personal well-being.

You are a person of great influence. If you could start a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger. ??

If I were to launch a movement with the aim of bringing the greatest benefit to the most people, it would focus on advancing technology across all sectors to enhance knowledge in various areas. I strongly believe that improved technology holds the key to positive transformation, empowerment, and the better of communities.

This movement’s objective would be to upgrade technological capabilities, ensuring that individuals, regardless of their background, location, or economic status, have access to advanced learning opportunities. By breaking down technological barriers, we could unlock the potential of countless minds, with innovation, understanding, and collaboration globally. The goal of this movement would be to create a more equitable and interconnected world, providing everyone with the opportunity to realize their full potential and make meaningful contributions to society.
