About the Guest Lecture
PCPS College recently hosted a guest lecture featuring Sanjog Koirala, an entrepreneur who has built multiple ventures from the ground up and speaks openly about both the wins and the struggles behind them.
Held on Friday, July 17, 2026, the session brought students face-to-face with a founder who shares honest lessons about business and money. What began as a light, game-filled icebreaker gradually became a rich exchange of experience, knowledge, and candid conversation about entrepreneurship and finance.
Setting the Stage: Icebreaker Games
The session opened with a few fun icebreaker games before moving into the main lecture. It was a simple choice that made a big impact.
The games removed the initial awkwardness, got students laughing and engaged, and set a relaxed tone for the rest of the class. By the time they ended, the room felt less like a lecture hall and more like an open discussion waiting to happen.
Getting to Know Sanjog Koirala
As the energy settled, Sanjog Koirala introduced himself and shared the background that shaped his career. He is a young entrepreneur who has founded businesses across several industries, including Ideapreneur Nepal, Media Money Mitra, Chiya Adda, and a hospitality venture. He is also a Chartered Accountant and a media personality.
His specialty is making financial and stock market topics easy to understand for young people. Through his YouTube channel and educational platforms, he works to boost financial literacy among Nepali youth.
His Entrepreneurial Journey and Business Insights
Sanjog Koirala walked students through his journey as an entrepreneur, from the very beginning to building several businesses across different industries.
He spoke candidly about the risks of starting a business, the need for adaptability, and how failures became some of his most valuable lessons. Rather than presenting entrepreneurship as a smooth path to success, he described it honestly: uncertain, demanding patience and persistence.
Stock Market Insights for Students
A large part of the session focused on the stock market. Sanjog offered practical advice on how beginners can approach investing, the common pitfalls new investors face, and why financial education matters from a young age.
This was especially relevant for students beginning to think about their financial futures. He kept his explanations simple and relatable, turning a usually intimidating topic into an approachable one.
Open Interaction with Students
One of the biggest highlights was the open interaction segment. The format was a give-and-take rather than a one-way lecture.
Students asked Sanjog about his business decisions, his views on the stock market, and his personal experiences with both success and failure. He answered honestly and in detail, often adding personal anecdotes that made the lessons stick.
Why This Session Mattered
Guest sessions like this offer an honest, real-world view of what building a business or a career actually involves, something a textbook cannot provide.
Hearing Sanjog Koirala speak about his journey, his mistakes, and his approach to finance gave students practical takeaways they can apply in life, whether they pursue entrepreneurship, finance, or any other field.
Final Thoughts
The guest lecture with Sanjog Koirala was rewarding for everyone involved. From the icebreaker games to the candid discussion on entrepreneurship and the stock market, the session was both entertaining and informative.
It deepened students' understanding of what it takes to build something worthwhile, and reminded them that real-world experiences can be just as meaningful as classroom learning.
