It’s a great time to be involved in the tech scene of Kathmandu, Nepal. There’s a lot of buzz around startup ideas and startup events pop up here and there. Since 2012, I’ve attended a lot of events related to entrepreneurship and startups in Kathmandu and can truly say that things are happening. It’s happening in front of our eyes and behind the scenes and young, enthusiastic and dynamic individuals are leading the technological transformation.
I have prepared my own list of tech companies making an impact in Nepal. This list is derived based on the growth of the company in the last 5 years, innovative product or service of the company, local buzz around the company, company culture etc.
The 5 companies are:
Fusemachines
Others coming soon

The company’s three core products include SAI-AI Assistant for follow up, SAM-AI Assistant for lead gen and Prospector-Inside Sales platform.
With over 140 employees currently working at their Kamaladi location, Fusemachines Nepal has grown steadily over the last 5 years. The company recently launched an AI fellowship program to train, educate and create a pool of AI specialists. This one of a kind program has given the company tremendous exposure and created excitement for engineering talent.
