I am Gabish Joshi, a Kathmandu-based consultant, mentor, and venture catalyst with over a decade of experience in social impact, sustainable trade, and enterprise development. My work spans multiple sectors, including handicrafts, sustainable materials, and climate-conscious ventures, where I focus on empowering marginalized communities, strengthening inclusive supply chains, and helping innovative businesses scale in low-income and emerging markets. I have collaborated with organizations such as Nest, and Villgro Philippines, providing hands-on mentorship, advisory support, and ecosystem-building expertise to entrepreneurs and artisans across Asia and beyond. My mission is to bridge global innovation with local realities, ensuring that sustainable solutions not only thrive commercially but also create meaningful social and environmental impact. I am particularly passionate about empowering artisan communities, rural producers, and mission-driven startups to access new markets, build financially viable enterprises, and strengthen local economies while preserving cultural heritage and promoting environmentally responsible practices. My vision is to contribute to a world where entrepreneurship, sustainability, and impact are seamlessly integrated—where communities are empowered to leverage global knowledge and networks, and where innovative solutions can scale responsibly to address pressing social, environmental, and economic challenges. Through mentorship, consulting, and strategic partnership-building, I aim to support changemakers who are creating scalable solutions that balance profitability with purpose, advancing systemic change and sustainable development on a global scale. Joining Catalyst Now represents an opportunity to engage with a network of passionate social innovators, collaborate on transformative initiatives, and contribute my experience toward building ecosystems that enable lasting impact. I look forward to connecting with fellow members, sharing knowledge, and co-creating solutions that advance the Sustainable Development Goals while fostering inclusive, sustainable, and resilient communities.

I am motivated to be part of Catalyst Now because it represents a unique global ecosystem where purpose-driven innovators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers come together to tackle some of the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges through collaboration and systems thinking. My work as a venture catalyst has always been rooted in bridging innovative, sustainable solutions with low-income and complex markets in developing countries. Across sectors such as transformative tourism, regenerative agriculture, circular economy, and healthcare innovation, I have seen firsthand that meaningful impact cannot be achieved in silos—it requires strong partnerships, shared learning, and collective action. Catalyst Now offers a powerful platform to connect with like-minded leaders, exchange insights, and co-create solutions that are locally grounded yet globally relevant. For me, it is an opportunity not only to contribute my experience from South and Southeast Asia but also to learn from diverse actors shaping the future of inclusive and sustainable development. Ultimately, I see Catalyst Now as an enabler for scaling impact, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and advancing resilient ecosystems for underserved communities.
