Our work addresses critical challenges with a focus on innovation, advocacy, and direct support, creating pathways for long-term prosperity.

By ensuring that wrongdoers are held accountable, we aim to recover lost wealth and contribute to Nepal’s economic security.

The Anti-Tax Evasion Initiative seeks to address issues related to tax evasion by international stakeholders that negatively impact Nepal’s economy. We advocate for stricter enforcement of tax regulations and work to safeguard Nepal’s national revenue systems.

"I do not think that it is necessary to get into politics in order to develop the nation which can be done by sharing our researched visions and suggestions under a framework of media accountability with public leaders, who must take them into consideration."
