hey lava,
you have not mentioned in your article whos idea it was and who started the site.we at www.adsuncovered.com want to thank you for your suggestions and even letting the big shots in nepal know about the site,iam very pleased to know that these men are starting a VC.i hope young talent can florish.i disagree with your idea of merging all the companies together.

hello CEO of adsuncovered.com, Foolish people have smarter ideas to turn into reality and profit which I relayed to the Fortune Cookie Seminar,and, now it should be clearer who raised the idea. "Kaam garne Kalu, Makai Khaane Bhalu" implying that you work and I take the credit for launching the site as I faced problem in buying a new house,Bike and a car, and I was the one to sought the solution.
The world is for those who can persevere, fight, push through, and lead. Although you are branded a CEO for our common project I am going to Patent it earlier in my name unless you try the process first by help of Fortune Cookie. I am thinking of patenting "World's all uncovered Buy/Sell site" in US in my name.
Our team spent considerable time in naming it correctly so it is swalloable, searchable from google/Yahoo/MSN/..and Word-Of-Mouth easily digestible to all generations.
We want to help people find solutions to their problems in buying selling anything, and it was my idea, friend, who first faced the problem and opted for solution. If you need extra money to expand this site, go to fortune cookie.

OH adsuncovered.com CEO, you disagree with mergers!!! small company, less captial, less manpower, less opportunity to get handsome projects. In Nepal's 200 s/w industry sector companies, why we have not seen any company that has real software worth of millinos, say even 1 billion rupees.If we can merge best talents of the top 5 star Fortune Cookie team with Other top big software houses, we will have about 1000 software engineers working for the same goal. It is not that I have not heard of other big company that aleady has pure software professionals(150+) hoping to make 500 soon. It is not sure if that company will agree to merger with other parties to become 1000, or 10000 if we start getting jobs like in India: daily registry keeping, book keeping, where we do not need just engineers but also, training intitute trained fellows. We will be able to digest all 4000-5000 engineers then belonging to ICT sector.
Large Company, experienced management, huge capital, huge ideas, corporate culture/benefits, long term vision, and BIG BIG Projects like NTC Mobile, MarSyangdi..Imagine the worth.. Did you mean to say that VC means Venture Capital? can't you elaborate further?

It appears that the top five stars named so by so called Tail-Wagging LAVA KAFLE are not sure about its success. If they had they would have put their respective comments. It looks that they are in worthless shape. Venture Capitalism will help countries like US only. Nepal is a poor country, so it needs communism, not capitalism. We do not want software company with ICT. We want food, cloth, house industry, alcohol to be promoted. What the hell will siftware do when you do not have petrol in your cars, sanjib, dilip, bijaya, Navin, Rajesh and Dipeesh, so call 0 Stars!!! If you have guts, reply here. I am a poor nepali no concern with your 100 million prize as my creativity has no help from ICT. Give me money to make money as I think my creativity lies in spending money.

@ Anti-VentureCapitalist:

The wages of nearly 150 software engineers are paid by US dollars at D2. What do you think the employees do with that money? Burn it? Hide it in mattresses? No... they spend it and introduce it to the Nepali economy. In the case of D2, capitalism or communism makes no difference. Any country needs international trade, and software is one of many industries that allows just that.

I thank Justin for his clear viewpoint regarding the Venture of D2 in Nepal that has been helping to promote the Nepalese social status, market, and contribution of Nepalese in global arena/economy by employing as many software engineers as possible,and, this virtue cannot go to other companies.

Dear Nepali, I have tried sending an email to Sanjib Rajbhandari asking him to defend issues here and let us hope that he gets time to defend from his fortune group.

Anti-VentureCapitalist,

You seem confused and what you say do not make any sense. You do not want any venture capital yet at the same time you want businesses and industries to grow and prosper. Most businesses require - at least initially - funds to sustain and grow until they can do so themselves. Venture capitalism is one of the sources of such funds for these businesses. At such a time when the economy of the country is in doldrums, venture capitalism seeks - to some degree - to address the need of funds for these businesses. Venture capital will help any country that needs it, be it the US, UK, or Nepal. Maybe more so in the case of Nepal because we sorely need capital so that many more businesses in other sectors such as food and beverages, housing, textile, retail etc can be started and sustained.

A legal business entity that is engaged in a commercial activity - whether that be in retail, housing or ICT/software/hardware - is highly beneficial to any country. At the very least these benefits come in the form of employment generation, taxes and utilization of human resources available in the country. Justin's point is valid, salary earned by employees are spent on food, clothing, entertainment and other necessities/wants. These spending at the very minimum spur growth in other sectors of the economy. Therefore, be it Nepal or US, a software business is a business and as such is wanted and needed by Nepal. Nepal needs and wants more such companies to come and establish here not less.

Your comparison of software with petrol is equally bizzare. It's true software will do little if you need food or petrol. However, this is like comparing hammer with a saw. What good is a saw if all you need is a hammer to drive the nails? In the same vein, what good is food or petrol if all you want to do is check emails or maybe write a response to this comment?

Nepal is not a poor country. Like any other country, it has problems but it is not in any way poor. True, the economy in not performing well, true again there is a high level of un-employment in the country, true again there is a political upheavel in the country. However, these does not in any way make Nepal poor. Problems exist because solutions exist and Nepal will and is capable of finding a solution. Recent political developments in Nepal clearly point towards this direction. If any, these are the indicators of a country that wants to reach for the stars and maybe will reach the stars.

I cannot for certain say communism will help or not help Nepal but if we are take history and past examples into consideration, then communism donot seem to provide a viable, practical and sustainable alternative to democracy based on equitable capitalism. Cambodia was at the worst state when Khmer rouge communist finally fell down, Russia was at its lowest point in history when communism finally collapsed there. North Korea is facing huge starvation of its citizens while its nearest cousin and neighbour South Korea enjoys living standards equaling and in some cases exceeding that of the Europeans and the North Americans. China's economy was reeling over before it finally recognized for the need to open up and at least organize its economy along the lines of capitalism. A few years back private property - unthinkable in any communist state - was recognized by the Chinese state. If these empirical evidence are to suggest anything, then it is that capitalism to a large extent works.

You say you are a poor Nepali but I suppose you are not giving that as an excuse for your laziness, are you? In that case you truly are poor and no amount of wealth can make you rich or other wise. If you equate spending with being wealthy then you truly are a lost cause.

Bikal, I admire your ideas for supporting Venture Capitalism in a poor country like Nepal.

Pawan, I have always admired your nice/sweet/sleek write ups even in Nepali language that touches one's heart, brain and soul. You remarked that I have high blood pressure so is writing sharp toned articles. I would like to defend by saying that many of the the readers, whom I want to shake up, have a lot of onion-patched filters and I want to bypass every shield and make my message reach to the buul's eye. About blood pressure, I have low diastole and Systole using some ancient medical vocabulary, and, I use sharp tones in speaking/writing to keep levels match to the normal person. If one's listening is a little bit impaired, then voice is loud, as an example. If I had high blood pressure, I would have died with the force that you noted.
Meanwhile, support for venture capital is overwhelming and we are getting a lot of hits.

Wonderful, the national news medium displayed this news after a week I posted in everest uncensored org .
