Robotics & Automation

Engineering accessible technology for Nepal's unique terrain

In Development • Launching 2028+

The Opportunity

Nepal's challenging terrain and labor economics create unique demand for specialized automation solutions. Current reliance on expensive imported technology limits adoption across agriculture, logistics, and manufacturing sectors.

Global robotics manufacturers optimize for flat terrain, temperate climates, and developed-market price points. This creates a significant gap for solutions tailored to mountainous regions with extreme altitude variations, limited infrastructure, and price-sensitive markets.

This gap represents an opportunity to develop purpose-built automation technology that addresses Nepal's specific operational requirements while maintaining accessibility through cost-efficient design.

Our Vision

We are developing UAV and robotics capabilities optimized for mountainous regions and accessible to Nepal's market. Our approach combines engineering for extreme conditions with disciplined cost management to deliver reliable solutions at sustainable price points.

Terrain Optimization

Engineering for altitude, slope, and weather conditions that challenge conventional automation systems

💰

Cost Efficiency

Accessible pricing without compromising reliability through intelligent design and local manufacturing

🎯

Purpose-Built Solutions

Focused on applications where Nepal's geography demands custom engineering rather than adapted imports

🔧

Local Capability

Building domestic engineering and manufacturing expertise for sustained innovation and support

Strategic Approach

Rather than competing with established global manufacturers on conventional applications, we focus on specialized use cases where Nepal's geography demands custom solutions.

Development Philosophy

Our approach recognizes that materials and components are globally commoditized—the value creation comes from intelligent engineering and craftsmanship applied to local requirements.

  • Learn systematically: Master aerospace engineering, automation systems, and manufacturing processes through disciplined knowledge acquisition
  • Engineer specifically: Design for Nepal's operational realities rather than adapting solutions built for different contexts
  • Test rigorously: Prove reliability in demanding conditions that stress-test system performance
  • Price appropriately: Make technology accessible through cost-efficient design while maintaining quality standards

Initial development targets internal applications—warehouse automation for DHN operations and agricultural robotics for agro-tourism ventures—providing real-world testing environments before broader commercialization.

Target Applications

Logistics Automation

Warehouse sorting, inventory management, and material handling systems optimized for DHN's distribution network. Focus on reliability and efficiency in high-throughput environments.

Agricultural Robotics

Precision farming equipment for mountainous terrain, including slope-adapted machinery and altitude-optimized systems for specialty crop cultivation in challenging topography.

UAV Applications

Aerial cargo delivery for remote areas, agricultural surveying, and logistics network optimization. Engineering for altitude performance and weather resilience.

Manufacturing Tools

CNC machinery and manufacturing equipment establishing local production capability for components and systems. Foundation for scaling domestic manufacturing.

Portfolio Integration

Robotics development creates value across our portfolio while providing real-world testing environments that accelerate development cycles:

DHN Logistics: Warehouse automation systems drive operational efficiency while providing testbed for technology refinement under demanding conditions. Solutions proven in DHN operations can be commercialized to other logistics operators.

Agro-Tourism: Agricultural robotics optimize farm operations while demonstrating technology capability. Successful implementations provide validation for broader agricultural market adoption.

Aviation Services: UAV development creates synergies with aviation operations, potentially enabling specialized cargo delivery capabilities that complement traditional aircraft operations.

This integrated approach ensures technology development addresses genuine operational needs while creating multiple paths to value creation and market validation.

"Intelligence and craftsmanship know no geography. We will transform Nepal from a consumer of technology to a creator of solutions. Every system we engineer will carry the DNA of Nepali ingenuity—built for the mountains, tested by adversity, priced for accessibility."

— Keshav Nepal, Chief Executive Officer
