Founded by individuals with more than combined 25 years in US, UK and Nepalese high-tech industry but now on the ground of Kathmandu, we are run by a multi-degreed MIT and CMU graduate with Silicon Valley experience.

Rabi Karmacharya: Rabi has over 13 years of experience in technology and management. An entrepreneur at heart, he left a comfortable job as a design engineer at a reputed firm in the Silicon Valley and returned to his native Nepal to start HT, one of the first exclusive outsourcing companies in Nepal. An avid proponent of ethical business practices, he helped establish HT as a company that put high value on its employees. In 2007, he started an organization to introduce One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) in rural schools in Nepal.

He describes himself as lazy and stupid, but his experience as a Database Designer/System Designer totally denies these personal trait. He started coding from the year 1999 and is doing so till date. Currently, he is engaged at OLE as Power Engineer. While at OLE Ram got a masters degree in Renewable Energy Engineering from I.O.E Pulchowk, Nepal.
