Bikesh Tandukar
Executive — Learning & Development • Insurance Institute of Nepal (IIN)
I am based in Kathmandu, Nepal, serving as an Executive in Learning and Development at the Insurance Institute of Nepal (IIN).
My work concentrates on institutional human capital development, designing corporate training programs, and administering professional certification courses across Nepal's Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sectors. I work with regulatory bodies, market practitioners, and academic institutions to strengthen industry standards and build organizational resilience.
Alongside corporate training, I conduct empirical financial research on technical and scale efficiency, operational productivity, and solvency within life insurance institutions in Nepal, with research publications indexed on NepJOL.
