Hi, I'm Sagar Dhakal.I’m a sophomore studying Accounting and Finance.
I document what I'm reading, learning, and building as I explore how capital, companies, and stories shape the world. This site is my slowly-growing digital garden.
01 / About
Learning how capital, companies, and code
shape the world.
I'm an undergraduate at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, interested in the business and financial world.
My experience so far has taken me across different areas from business development and research to tutoring, student engagement, and working with teams on new ideas. I enjoy learning by doing, asking questions, and putting myself in unfamiliar situations where there's something new to figure out.
For now, I'm focused on building strong fundamentals, becoming a better problem solver and communicator, and making the most of the opportunities I get along the way.

03 / Focus
What I love exploring
Financial Analysis
My lens for understanding the world, through ratios, models, and the narrative behind every number.
Investing
How I think about patience, risk, and compounding in markets and in life.
Corporate Finance
Capital structure, M&A, and the decisions that move money inside companies.
Accounting
The language of business. I read footnotes the way others read headlines.
Economics
Why things cost what they cost, and where the world might be heading next.
Technology
AI, fintech, and the platforms quietly reshaping how we live and invest.
Books
Fiction and non-fiction. I believe in compounding knowledge, not just capital.

Excel, SQL, and Python for turning curiosity into better questions.
