Biswas Dhakal has been named to the RoW100, Rest of World’s inaugural list of global tech’s changemakers. This list highlights 100 of the most innovative leaders, founders, investors and activists working in technology outside the West.

Biswas Dhakal is one of the individuals chosen by Rest of World’s editorial team, who have collectively had an enormous impact on how products are made and distributed, how entrepreneurs are funded, and how tech users are protected far beyond their local markets.

The RoW100 honourees were chosen by the outlet’s globally based network of reporters and editors who were impressed by each candidate's outsized impact on their communities as well as the broader technology ecosystem. The RoW100 list features executives with global reach, investors enabling innovation, emerging entrepreneurs on the path to unicorn status, and activists who are pioneering a more open and equitable future.

The RoW100 list reflects Rest of World’s mission to connect the dots between local innovation and global trends and their implications. Over the past two years, Rest of World has published more than 750 stories from over 90 countries, often partnering with reporters who live and work in these communities.
