Kathmandu, Feb 13: The operators and experts behind Nepal’s own social media platform, Global Diary, have stated that they are working to achieve their goal of expanding the platform nationwide within five years. They said the platform is currently growing rapidly across Nepal and, after becoming a preferred medium nationwide, they plan to move gradually toward global expansion. On the occasion of surpassing 400,000 users, the company officially held its first press conference on Magh 28 (Wednesday) at AlphaBeta Complex in New Baneshwor, Kathmandu.
The press conference was organized to publicly share the objectives, services, future plans, and key topics related to the national digital sector of Global Diary, a domestic digital social networking and information technology platform. The event formally presented the concept, development journey, promotion of domestic IT, its role in Nepal’s digital campaign, and upcoming strategies. It also included an open interaction session with journalists.
Chairman Shekhar Aryal highlighted the background behind establishing the social platform and clarified its strategic and future plans. He stated that software engineers encouraged him with a strong concept to register the platform in order to create a social network that represents Nepal’s identity. Aryal said, “With various objectives, we aim to globalize Global Diary and introduce Nepal to the world.”
Director and board member Krishna Prasad Sapkota said the platform was launched with the goal of offering a global product originating from a small country like Nepal. He noted that Global Diary is gradually developing as a digital hub in Nepal and expressed hope for support and cooperation from journalists to promote the platform.
Executive Director Bhagwandas Agrahari stated that Global Diary will directly benefit users, businesses, and the government. He expressed confidence that users will receive reliable services, products, and information while saving time and cost. He explained that small and medium enterprises struggle due to limited digital access, and users often lack trust in online services and products. According to him, Global Diary is a visionary digital initiative created to address this reality. The AI-powered digital ecosystem built in Nepal aims to connect users, businesses, and government bodies on a single structured digital platform, making digital access simple, affordable, and reliable. He added, “Global Diary is not just the use of technology; it is Nepal’s journey toward digital self-reliance.”
Global Diary announced lucky draw offers for its first 100,000 verified users and 50,000 verified businesses, including smartphones, a car, smartwatches, and five motorcycles. The company also stated it is running a College Adventures Program and has partnered with more than 70 colleges. In the near future, Global Diary plans to launch digital marketing services to make markets more accessible for businesses and entrepreneurs.
Agrahari emphasized that everyone shares the responsibility to make this project a matter of national pride. He advised new entrepreneurs that expensive plans are not necessary in the early stage and that the free plan is sufficient. He encouraged new businesses to first create a business page to increase direct customer engagement and promote their brand digitally. Regularly posting about products and services was also recommended to attract potential customers and increase sales.
Senior journalist and board member of the National News Agency Krishna Prasad Adhikari urged journalists and businesspeople to join Global Diary, expressing confidence that it could become one of Nepal’s best platforms and useful for media organizations. Special guest Dr. Binod Atreya highlighted challenges such as business visibility, subscription impact, and motivation after using the app, while encouraging support for Nepali entrepreneurs producing within Nepal. He urged Global Diary to adopt appropriate strategies to win customer trust.
