In 2021, Ujjwal was freelancing from a co-working space in Jhamsikhel when a client — a café owner thirteen time zones away — mentioned she was losing bookings overnight because nobody could reply.
He built her a small bot trained on the menu and the booking sheet. It answered its first reservation at 3 a.m. her time, while everyone slept. She told two friends. They told ten.
Ubuck was incorporated a year later on a simple bet: small businesses everywhere have the same overnight problem, and Nepal — with its engineering talent and its time zone — is unusually well placed to solve it.
That first bot turned into stores, ERP systems, and custom software. Today a team of twelve builds whatever a client needs shipped — chatbots, e-commerce, business systems, mobile apps — for businesses on five continents, from the same neighborhood in Lalitpur.
Not offshoring. Home-field advantage — engineering quality at a cost structure that lets small businesses afford real software.
Kathmandu's cost structure means senior engineering at roughly 40% of US/EU agency rates — savings we pass on, not pocket.
Nepal graduates thousands of engineers a year into a small local market. We hire the sharpest and train them on production AI systems.
Ahead of the Americas, alongside Asia-Pacific. Brief us at your closing time; wake up to shipped work.
Enterprise-grade software shouldn't require an enterprise budget. We exist so that a twelve-table café can answer like a twelve-office company.
