What inGrails does

inGrails Pvt. Ltd. is a Nepal-based software development company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Dhobighat, Lalitpur. The firm provides professional services across mobile application development (native iOS and Android), web development, UI/UX design, and branding, targeting enterprises, mid-market businesses, and educational institutions across Nepal through a direct, sales-led go-to-market model with regional offices in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Itahari.

In parallel with its services business, inGrails has built and operates a portfolio of proprietary software products. Its flagship product, Véda, is a cloud-based school management and digital learning platform serving more than 200 organizations, including named schools such as St. Xavier's, St. Mary's, and Galaxy Public School. Additional products include Eatery (a restaurant customer engagement app with reservations, ordering, and loyalty features), Doko Recyclers (a Kathmandu waste management and recycling platform), Virtual Tech Depot (a live video chat customer service solution), and Gafencu (a luxury lifestyle magazine app distributed via iOS and Android stores). These products combine subscription/SaaS economics with bespoke project delivery.

The company is privately held, founder-owned, and operates exclusively within Nepal, with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or parent company. Revenue is generated through two streams: professional services on a quote-based, project-by-project basis for enterprise and SMB clients, and recurring subscriptions from product platforms such as Véda. The leadership team comprises co-founders Nirdesh Dwa (CEO), Sanjan Piya (CTO), and Sujit Pathak (Managing Director), supported by a 51–100-person team spanning mobile, backend, front-end, design, and sales functions.

Broad incumbents

• PowerSchool: Largest North American K-12 SaaS platform (SIS, learning, enrollment) post-FACTS acquisition. A broad incumbent in the same school-management category as Véda, with much deeper feature breadth and capital base.
• Toast: Restaurant POS and management platform (ordering, reservations, loyalty) covering the same use cases as inGrails' Eatery product but at much greater scale, with established US market dominance.
• OpenTable: Restaurant reservation and guest management platform. Competes with the reservation, ordering, and loyalty features of Eatery, particularly in any cross-border expansion of inGrails' restaurant product.
• FACTS: K-12 school management SaaS (now part of PowerSchool) covering tuition, admissions, and student information. Overlaps with Véda's school administration workflows but serves a much wider geographic and feature footprint.

Direct peers

• Gradelink: School management SaaS covering admissions, grading, and parent communication for independent schools. Competes with Véda in the same niche vertical SaaS category for school administration workflows.
• Classter: Cloud-based school and student information management SaaS serving K-12 and higher-education institutions. Comparable to Véda in product scope and target buyer, with a similar land-and-expand vertical-SaaS approach.
• Fedena: School management software platform with overlapping features to Véda (student information, parent communication, administration). Directly competes for the same K-12 institutional buyers inGrails targets in Nepal and broader South Asia.
• Janaki Technology: Nepal-headquartered IT services company providing custom software, web, and mobile development to domestic and international clients. Comparable service offerings, geography, and customer mix to inGrails.
• Leapfrog Technology: Nepal-based software development firm offering custom mobile/web development, UI/UX, and enterprise solutions with a similar service-plus-product mix and comparable headcount range. Closest head-to-head peer for inGrails' professional services arm.

Regional players

• Brain Station 23: Bangladesh-based software development firm with similar custom mobile/web development, UI/UX, and enterprise application services. Operates in the same South Asian nearshore segment but serves primarily Bangladesh/international clients rather than Nepal.
