NIV Nepal

NIV Nepal — short for "Next in Innovation" — is a Nepali technology umbrella company headquartered in Kathmandu. It describes itself as an innovation-driven company that builds, scales and delivers technology products intended to solve real-world problems in Nepal and beyond. The company was founded on 14 January 2026 by Bandhan Pokhrel, a technologist and entrepreneur who serves as Founder and CEO. Its stated vision is to become Nepal's leading innovation hub — a launchpad for transformative technologies that solve local problems to global standards — while its mission is to drive innovation and empower businesses and individuals in Nepal through cutting-edge technology solutions. Rather than operating as a single product company, NIV Nepal positions itself as a house of brands. Its ecosystem comprises six active brands under one roof: DevX Nepal, a service-based web agency that builds professional websites to help businesses scale and individuals elevate their profiles; BooknCall, a modern scheduling and audio-call platform for professionals to book appointments and connect; SAL (Skill Access Labs), a learning platform where users can learn IT skills, test code, build projects, finalize portfolios and access opportunities; Atlas, a documentation and notes platform for students and educators that forms part of the SAL engine; CoreLabs, an automated cybersecurity hygiene service that scans websites and produces plain-English security reports and actionable insights; and NIV Foundation, which provides interactive digital resources for students in Nepal with the aim of building 21st-century leaders through scalable educational technology. The company's operating philosophy emphasizes innovation, community, continuous learning and excellence. It frames itself as "building for Nepal, by Nepal," prioritizing local talent and local impact while aspiring to global standards. Its brands span several distinct technology segments — web services, productivity and communications software, IT education, educational documentation, and cybersecurity — giving the group a diversified footprint across both consumer and business-facing digital services. NIV Nepal is a young, privately held company. Its leadership team includes founder and CEO Bandhan Pokhrel and Salina Adhikari, who leads marketing and social media, driving brand awareness, digital growth, social media strategy, marketing campaigns and community engagement across all of the group's brands. The company's public presence is centered on its official website, which presents its brand portfolio, mission, values, team and journey.
