1) Mountain building and uplift — the ongoing collision has thickened and shortened the crust, raising the Himalaya range and the Tibetan Plateau (the highest, youngest mountain system on Earth).
2) Frequent seismicity and faulting — the plates lock and then suddenly slip, producing powerful earthquakes and ongoing crustal deformation across the region.
(If you want a third consequence: the uplift has changed climate and drainage patterns — e.g., strengthened the South Asian monsoon and created major river systems fed by Himalayan runoff.)
