Our Mission

Modernizing B2B Trade in Nepal

Nepal's domestic trade is worth billions of rupees annually, yet most of it still happens through phone calls, word-of-mouth, and physical visits. Small manufacturers in Bhaktapur struggle to reach retailers in Dharan. Wholesalers in Birgunj lack visibility to buyers in Pokhara.

Holisar was founded in 2023 to change this. We provide a digital infrastructure that lets any Nepali business β€” from a cottage industry in Darchula to a factory in Hetauda β€” trade efficiently with buyers anywhere in the country (and beyond).

What We Stand For

Our Values

Trust & Transparency

Every supplier on Holisar goes through a multi-step business verification process. We display PAN/VAT numbers and registration certificates publicly.

Nepal First

We are proudly built in Nepal, for Nepal. Our platform is designed around the way Nepali businesses actually work β€” from MOQ negotiations to bilingual product listings.

Efficiency

We eliminate the friction of traditional B2B trade β€” no more cold calls, paper catalogs, or opaque pricing. Get quotes, negotiate, and close deals digitally.

Community

We grow when Nepali businesses grow. Our success is measured not just in GMV, but in the number of entrepreneurs we've helped reach new markets.

Our Story

From a Problem to a Platform

The idea for Holisar came from a frustrating experience: one of our founders spent three weeks trying to source medicinal herbs from Humla for a Kathmandu-based ayurvedic company. The herbs existed. The buyers existed. But there was no reliable way to connect them.

We started with a simple question: why is it easier to buy handicrafts from Alibaba than from the craftsperson in Bhaktapur who made them? The answer was a lack of digital infrastructure β€” no unified catalogue, no trusted payment rails, no communication tools built for B2B trade.

We built Holisar to be that infrastructure. Registered as a private limited company in Nepal, with our engineering team based in Kathmandu and Pokhara, we are fully committed to the long-term growth of Nepal's trading ecosystem.
