Exploring possibilities.
I’m Ajay.
I am a youth and education practitioner, facilitator, storyteller and lifelong explorer from Nepal.
Much of my work revolves around one simple question:
What becomes possible when we choose to look at life differently?
I work at the intersection of youth, education, social innovation and human development, designing learning experiences that help people build the mindset, skills and confidence to navigate an uncertain world.
But work is only one part of my story.
I am also someone who enjoys long walks, meaningful conversations, storytelling, meditation and visiting Pashupati.
I am still figuring life out.
And perhaps that is the point.
I am exploring possibilities.
A Possibility Lab in Butwal.
From a village in southern Nepal to Kathmandu, Australia and the World Bank. I design and facilitate learning experiences that help young people, educators and organisations move from watching problems to solving them.
In 2025 the World Bank Group named five inaugural IDA Youth Champions worldwide. One of them was from Nepal.

What Youth Hive believes
We don’t want young people to see themselves only as people who need to find solutions created by others. We want them to see themselves as people capable of creating solutions themselves.
