What’s happening in Nepal right now is nothing short of a grassroots revolution. Sparked by a ban on social media, it’s grown into something larger: a generation rising up against corruption, privilege, and being shut out of opportunity. For me, working at Alpen, it hits close. Half our team is in Nepal. Some of our teammates grew up in small mountain villages without internet and in bare bones living conditions. MIT, one of the most prestigious universities in the world has on average 1 Nepali per year admitted. Four (4) of them are our founders. To me this situation is a reminder of why @simanta_gautam has had relentless conviction building a presence in Nepal. Untapped talent and a market which actually has need for our products. What we’re building matters, and it’s about solving real problems, creating tools people actually need, and believing in a future where talent isn’t wasted because of geography or politics. The revolution may look chaotic, but underneath is something hopeful, a generation refusing to settle, determined to build a different future
