HB Tamrakar,Kathmandu, Nepal – [22 July 2025]As part of the Get Inspired Speaker Series, renowned AI expert, educator, and entrepreneur Dr. Sameer Maskey—CEO of the U.S.-based tech company Fusemachines—joined a virtual session last week to share his remarkable journey from Nepal to the United States and back.
The event, broadcast live across American Spaces in Nepal, drew over 100 enthusiastic participants, including students, tech enthusiasts, and aspiring entrepreneurs. With a focus on innovation, cross-cultural collaboration, and education, Dr. Maskey offered deep insights into how his experiences in the U.S. shaped his vision to democratize access to AI and technology globally.
In his talk, Dr. Maskey emphasized the transformative power of an American education and its role in his mission to empower underrepresented communities. “Access to quality education and technology should not be a privilege. It should be a right,” he said, sharing how Fusemachines, which is now listed on the U.S. stock exchange, works to bring cutting-edge AI training and solutions to developing nations, including Nepal.
Public Diplomacy Intern Thomas Jones delivered the opening remarks, setting the tone for a session focused on youth leadership, U.S.–Nepal cooperation, and the importance of cross-cultural exchange in today’s interconnected world.
Dr. Maskey’s story, blending the spirit of American innovation with Nepali resilience and talent, stood as a powerful reminder of the global impact that can be achieved through vision, education, and perseverance. His success with Fusemachines illustrates how Nepal’s human capital, when nurtured through international collaboration, can lead the charge in the tech-driven future.
The Get Inspired series continues to serve as a platform to connect Nepali youth with global thought leaders, encouraging them to dream big and act boldly.
