Investment-ready project data intelligence for Nepal
The Opportunity
Nepal's Good Governance Blueprint targets FDI through policy reform, but 500+ companies entering the market simultaneously will struggle to identify which sectors, regions, and regulatory windows offer the highest ROI. They need real-time intelligence on project pipelines, policy implementation timelines, and investment-ready opportunities—not generic country reports. Without this, capital deployment will be slow and mispriced.
Market Size
₹45 Cr addressable market — 500 incoming investment firms × ₹9 lakh annual SaaS spend across Nepal-focused due diligence, project mapping, and regulatory tracking
Business Model
B2B SaaS platform providing real-time project pipeline intelligence, regulatory milestone tracking, and investment-readiness scoring for Nepal. Subscription tiers: Tier 1 (₹3L/year, basic project alerts), Tier 2 (₹9L/year, full pipeline + regulatory alerts), Tier 3 (₹25L+/year, white-label + custom sector analysis). Revenue from data partnerships with Nepalese government agencies, bilateral development banks, and infrastructure consultancies.
Subscription fees (₹9L avg per customer × 200 customers = ₹1.8 Cr); Data licensing to development finance institutions (₹20-30L annually); Custom research reports for large PE/VC (₹5-10L per report, 3-4 per year)
Your 30-Day Action Plan
Incorporate as SAAS entity in Nepal; identify 5-10 policy documents from Good Governance Blueprint 2082 and create structural outline of trackable regulatory milestones
Hire on-ground researcher in Kathmandu to begin cataloguing live infrastructure/policy projects from govt websites, press releases, and bilateral donor announcements
Build MVP dashboard: project pipeline map (sector + region filters), regulatory milestone tracker, investment-readiness scoring algorithm; test with 3 Indian impact investors already watching Nepal
Launch closed beta with 10 FDI-focused firms (domestic PE, Asian dev banks, infrastructure funds); gather feedback; iterate scoring model
Compliance & Regulatory Angle
Register as SaaS company in Nepal under Company Act 2063; data sourcing from public government records (no DPA issues); GST NA in Nepal but Indian GST 18% applies if serving Indian customers. Bilateral data-sharing agreements with Nepal's Ministry of Finance and NPC (National Planning Commission) adds credibility but not mandatory for MVP.
