Kurākāni Kollective #2: Be Like Water with Raj Gyawali

The Kurākāni Kollective is a relaxed, after-work conversation series brought to you by Impact447 and The Governance Lab. Inspired by the Nepali word kurākāni, meaning meaningful conversation, this series is designed to be a space for honest dialogue, shared reflections, and genuine connections.

This won't be your typical event. No panels. No PowerPoints. No performative polish. Just one speaker, an audience, and one hour to dive deep—followed by time to hang out and connect informally.

Created for those in Nepal’s development and humanitarian sectors, it’s a space to break free from the usual meetings and reports to discuss the topics that often go unspoken. Together, we’ll explore questions around failure, power, equity, justice, and what it truly means to create lasting impact.

From navigating crises to embracing goodwill and resilience, discover how Nepal has consistently risen above adversity to redefine its place on the global tourism map. This is more than a conversation about tourism, it’s a testament to the strength and ingenuity of a nation that embodies the essence of being like water.
