Dartabase

Independent. Not a government register.

Tracking Nepali business
and new ventures.

Who was founded, who raised what, who listed, who closed, for companies registered in Nepal and Nepali-founded companies anywhere. Every entry shows where it came from.

The two most-cited databases of Nepali companies disagree by two orders of magnitude on something as basic as how many exist, and neither publishes its inclusion criteria. This one is narrower and slower. You can check every line, and where sources disagree it shows you both.

The mark set

hover or tap any mark for its source
Filing: government or exchange Press-reported Single source, unconfirmed Sources disagree: both shown

The mark on each entry is derived from the sources actually recorded for it, not set by hand. A page densely marked as filings looks different from a page of half marks. That texture is the point.
