Government digitization,
done responsibly.
We help Nepali government agencies digitize paper processes, connect siloed departments, and give decision-makers real-time visibility — without disrupting the systems people already rely on.
Where government IT in Nepal needs to move next
From the central ministries down to municipal governments, the same pattern repeats: siloed systems, paper-bound processes, and dashboards that are weeks behind reality. Each department has its own database, its own report templates, and its own way of counting things. Decision-makers don't have a single source of truth, and citizens experience this as slow services and repeated paperwork.
The fix isn't a single big-bang transformation. It's a series of focused integrations and automations, each scoped narrowly enough to ship in a quarter, but designed to fit into a coherent platform over time.
Project shapes we typically take on
- Paper-to-digital workflow conversion — taking a high-volume citizen service (license issuance, permit application, tax payment) from paper / Excel to a digital workflow with audit trails.
- Inter-departmental data integration — making citizen data flow between two or more agencies without manual re-entry. Often the highest-impact single project we ship.
- Ministry-level reporting dashboards — pulling from operational systems and presenting near-real-time service metrics to ministers, secretaries, and committees.
- Document processing automation — OCR + LLM-assisted parsing of large document backlogs (land records, tax filings, etc.).
- Local government platform setup — for municipalities or rural municipalities (gaunpalikas) needing baseline IT infrastructure for citizen services and inter-department reporting.
How we work within government IT frameworks
Government engagements are different from private-sector work in three specific ways, and we structure for them:
- Procurement discipline. We respond to open tenders, build proposals that match Public Procurement Act requirements, and work with both primary contractor and subcontractor arrangements depending on the project.
- Data residency. Government data stays in Nepal. We deploy to the Government Integrated Data Center (GIDC) or to NRB-approved Nepali data centers where applicable. Disaster recovery within Nepal where required.
- Audit-first design. Every action in the system is logged. Every report can be drilled to source. Every role-based permission is documented. This is non-negotiable for government work.
AI in government, used carefully
We're conservative about where AI fits in government workflows. Useful applications:
- OCR + LLM-assisted extraction from large document backlogs — with human review.
- Citizen query routing and FAQ assistance — with clear handoff to humans.
- Anomaly detection in financial reports — flagging for human investigation, not auto-decision.
We avoid: anything that makes binding decisions about citizens without a human in the loop, or anything that creates an unauditable AI black box.
Implementation timeline
Government engagements vary widely. Indicative ranges:
- Single paper-to-digital workflow: 8–16 weeks.
- Two-agency data integration: 12–24 weeks.
- Ministry-level reporting dashboard: 16–24 weeks.
- Document processing automation backlog: 12–20 weeks plus pilot.
Timelines depend heavily on integration approvals, security audits, and procurement processes. We plan around them, not against them.
Questions about government digitization in Nepal.
We work with government agencies through standard procurement processes — open tender, RFP responses, or framework agreements. We can also work as a subcontractor under a primary vendor where required. We hold the required business registrations for public-sector engagements in Nepal.
Yes. We integrate with existing systems — citizen databases, GIS layers, financial systems, document management — rather than asking agencies to migrate. Our typical approach is to add a data and workflow layer that connects siloed systems without replacing them.
Yes. For government engagements, we deploy to in-country data centers or to the Government Integrated Data Center (GIDC) where applicable. We follow the Information Technology Policy and any agency-specific data classification rules.
Common engagements: digitizing paper-based citizen service workflows, building dashboards for ministry-level decision making, automating inter-departmental reporting, integrating local government systems with federal systems, and adding AI-assisted document processing for high-volume offices.
