How do digital freelancers fare in Nepal?

While a majority of people are only just getting used to working online, a small segment of the Nepali workforce has already had ample time to understand, experience and embrace digital workspaces.

While the country, and broadly the world, fights the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdowns and stay-at-home orders, the digital world has never played as important a role as it has today. Educational classes have been moved from the four walls of a classroom to the inside of a digital screen as work meetings share a similar fate: inside Zoom calls and long email conversations. Adapting to a strict work-from-home modality hasn’t been easy for many Nepali employers or even their employees partly due to the forceful nature by which digital workspaces were introduced to most of us. But a certain segment of the Nepali workforce has already had ample time to understand, experience and embrace these digital workspaces.
