My recent guest on The Sustainable Finance Podcast was the youngest CEO in Nepal’s financial sector when he founded NIMB Ace Capital Limited, one of the country’s first investment banks. Today the bank provides corporate, bond and equity financing, as well as portfolio advisory and investment services for over 600,000 clients.

CEO Shivanth Pande began his banking career in 2007 working for Nepal Investment Bank Limited, where he established that firm’s Microfinance, Capital Markets and Financial Outreach programs. He is also the co-founder and current chairman of M! Nepal, a social venture initiated to facilitate banks and microfinance companies in extending outreach of financial products to the unbanked, poor urban and rural populations in Nepal.
