The Entrepreneur Building Nepal’s Next-Gen Digital Platforms
In the evolving tech landscape of Nepal, few names represent both ambition and originality like Yukesh Chaudhary. Based in Biratchowk, a fast-growing town in eastern Nepal, Yukesh is the founder of Niriv Corp and the mind behind The Kirib — a media platform built for Nepal’s Gen Z.
While many young entrepreneurs chase trends, Yukesh is focused on something deeper: creating tools and platforms that reflect how the next generation of Nepalis think, talk, and connect online.
From Local Questions to National Intent
Yukesh’s entrepreneurial story began with a simple frustration: “Why isn't there a platform that feels like us?”
Most local media felt outdated. Global platforms felt disconnected. This gap between content and culture sparked what would become Niriv Corp — a digital venture studio focused on building for Nepal's digital natives.
From product concepts to live platforms, Niriv is where ideas meet execution. It doesn't just chase virality — it builds with purpose, slowly but intentionally. And that’s what sets Yukesh apart.
The Kirib: News That Matches Your Scroll
In 2024, Yukesh launched The Kirib, a modern news site designed for the speed and tone of Gen Z. Originally branded as The Ditible, it was reimagined and relaunched as The Kirib in early 2025 under Niriv.
The goal? Deliver news that’s fast, sharp, and rooted in youth culture — without the fluff.
Whether it’s football scores, political chaos, or viral trends, The Kirib delivers bite-sized but meaningful updates in a clean, mobile-first format. Its tone is casual yet informed, its headlines speak like a friend, and its pace matches the attention span of a generation raised on reels and scrolls.
As Yukesh puts it:
“We’re not just covering the news. We’re curating what matters to Gen Z in Nepal — in a way they’ll actually read.”
Niriv Corp: The Quiet Builder
At the core of it all is Niriv — a venture studio incubating platforms designed for long-term cultural relevance. Think of it less like a startup and more like a digital garage — part lab, part playground, part newsroom.
Niriv isn’t rushing to scale or compete with big tech. Instead, it focuses on doing a few things well. It prototypes fast, ships lean, and builds tools that feel personal.
From media platforms like The Kirib to future tools for communication, productivity, and exploration — Niriv is built on the belief that local innovation is not only possible, but necessary.
A Personal Brand with Purpose
Yukesh documents parts of his journey and creative thinking on his personal site, yukesh.com.np. It’s not about followers or hype — it’s a quiet but clear space for sharing what he's learning, building, and exploring.
Whether he’s writing about design, tech, or culture, his content reflects a rare balance: ambition without arrogance, clarity without complexity.
He’s not trying to be a tech influencer. He’s trying to build — and help others build too.
Looking Ahead: Not Waiting, Just Creating
Yukesh’s story is about more than just one founder or one town. It’s part of a bigger movement of young Nepalis who aren’t waiting for global companies to pay attention. They’re building the internet they want to live in — one site, one tool, one idea at a time.
From the outskirts of Biratchowk to the fingertips of Gen Z readers across Nepal, Yukesh Chaudhary is proving something simple yet radical:
You don’t need to be in Silicon Valley to build something valuable. You just need a clear vision — and the courage to start.
