Activity Description: Thamel.com is an innovating e-commerce platform that allows the Nepalese diaspora to order products online for their friends and family living in Nepal. These products are sourced from local, Nepalese producers and then delivered to the recipient. The products in the online catalog range from clothes to groceries to motor bikes. All of the money from the transactions stays in Nepal, encouraging job creation and the growth of Nepalese companies. Beyond e-commerce, the company enables money transfers directly into designated accounts in Nepal, allowing the customers to establish credit through regular payments towards a loan, insurance, or school fees. Thamel.com also provides IT services to other Nepal companies, and is now attempting to replicate its experiences abroad through Thamel International.
