What Nepal Press does

Nepal Press, operated by Nepal E. Press Media Pvt. Ltd., is a privately held online news portal headquartered in Minbhawan, New Baneshwor, Kathmandu, Nepal. It publishes news in both Nepali and English across a broad set of verticals including politics, business, sports, entertainment, health and lifestyle, technology, diaspora, and international affairs, and also runs opinion, interview, and literature/blog sections. Content is accessible free of charge via the main website (nepalpress.com), an English-language sub-site (english.nepalpress.com), and dedicated Android and iOS mobile applications distributed through Google Play and the Apple App Store.

The platform is built on a WordPress-based content management system with native mobile clients on Android and iOS, and supports event-specific microsites (e.g., election.nepalpress.com) for topical coverage. The business model is advertising-supported: the portal is free to readers with no subscription or paywall, and revenue is generated through display advertising sold via dedicated ad-sales contacts (Ganesh Niraula and Krishna Kaphle). The customer base is a horizontal segment of general Nepali news consumers, both domestically and in the diaspora, with no enterprise or B2B customers identified.

Leadership comprises CEO Ganesh Niraula, Chairman Binduraj Lamsal, Founder Chairman Dhurva Sharma, Chief Editor Matrika Paudel, Editor Chiranjeevi Paudel, and Directors Kamala Sharma and Roshan Prasain. No external investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, patents, or partnerships are disclosed, and revenue figures are not publicly reported.
