On August 16, 2025, we gathered at Vivanta Kathmandu for Meetup #49, themed “From Ideas to Impact”. The room was buzzing with energy, filled with fellows, mentors, instructors, and community builders who came together to explore how ideas evolve into real-world solutions.

This meetup was proudly organized by eSatya with the support of our funder, Ecosystem Support Program (ESP), whose constant encouragement fuels our mission to empower the next wave of blockchain innovators.

Keynote Spotlight

Mr. Nirdesh Dwa, Founder & CEO of Veda App, joined us as our keynote speaker. His journey of building with purpose and scaling impactful products deeply resonated with the audience.

He shared 5 golden lessons for builders:
1️⃣ Impact starts with problems
2️⃣ Attack the back head market
3️⃣ Learn early, learn hard
4️⃣ Simplicity unlocks scale
5️⃣ Distribution is half the battle

And he left us with a mic-drop reminder:
👉 “Don’t just build code, build changes. Transformation is what creates true impact.”

Fellowship IX Fellows Taking the Stage

The Blockchain Fellowship IX Fellows showcased their projects, pitching ideas they had been working on tirelessly. From identifying real problems to crafting innovative solutions, their projects showed us what happens when curiosity meets execution. Each pitch was backed with a live demo, proof that ideas can turn into impact when nurtured with the right guidance.

Shoutout to Our Mentors & Instructors 

A big thank you to our mentors and instructors who guided the fellows throughout their journey. Your insights, patience, and dedication were the backbone of this showcase. None of this would have been possible without your support.

With fellows pitching, mentors cheering, instructors sharing wisdom, and the community actively engaging, Meetup #49 was more than just an event, it was a space where innovation and collaboration thrived.

This meetup was a reminder that the journey doesn’t end with an idea. It’s about building, testing, failing, learning, and ultimately making an impact. We’re excited to see how these projects grow beyond the fellowship.
