KATHMANDU: Nepal’s first homegrown social media platform, Global Diary, powered by AI technology, has been launched.
The comprehensive platform aims to support digital transformation, promote commercial empowerment and encourage inclusive technological development. Designed to empower businesses, individuals and government agencies, Global Diary brings communication, trade and opportunities together on a single platform.
According to Bhagwan Das Agrahari, CEO of Global Diary, the platform was developed by a team of young Nepali IT professionals using domestic investment and expertise. It ensures AI-driven integration, reliable global connectivity, an affordable digital presence and sustainable growth.
Although developed in Nepal, Global Diary has been built to meet international standards in purpose, functionality and reach. It connects individuals, businesses and government agencies through a unified digital system, making communication, services and opportunities more accessible.
Agrahari said the platform was created to address Nepal’s fragmented digital infrastructure and to empower all sectors through a single AI-powered, multipurpose solution.
The main objective of creating Global Diary is to resolve Nepal’s fragmented digital system and to empower individuals, businesses and government bodies through a single artificial intelligence-powered digital platform, organisation president Shekhar Aryal said.
Aryal added that users can easily manage their profile, business page and professional details on Global Diary. The platform has been made affordable and scalable, providing opportunities for small businesses and individuals to use modern digital tools.
Global Diary allows individuals to showcase their skills, portfolios, achievements and services, which expands networks and increases employment and freelance opportunities.
Aryal said that, as a locally developed digital platform, it prioritises Nepal-based needs, standards and national-level data security.
He argued that traditional digital platforms cannot solve the real problems faced by Nepali users, businesses and government entities, but Global Diary will connect individuals and businesses across the country on a single digital platform, paving the way for digital inclusion and innovation.
He claimed it reduces digital spending by approximately 60%, increases local employment opportunities, provides personalised search and access to reliable connections, assists with central business statistics, promotes digital inclusion and helps prevent annual advertising expenditure exceeding $150 million on foreign digital platforms.
The platform has the capacity to develop locally and reach the global market. The organisation said it will provide affordable and inclusive solutions and serve as a means to solve real problems and promote community-centred development.
As with other social networks, individuals can showcase their skills, experiences, achievements and portfolios, while small businesses and large companies can present their services and products digitally on the platform.
The service offers instant connection, sharing of QR codes for profile and service exchange, listing of services and products by individuals and businesses, and timely access to new opportunities, news and information.
