Leadership

Samir (BJ) Thapa (MSIM)

Founder

For 30 years, I've built bridges, not just in technology, but in people's lives. With a blend of engineering expertise (Electronics & Communications Engineering) and business acumen (Master's in Information Management), I've helped countless organizations unlock operational efficiency and soar to new heights. Now, I'm fueled by a different kind of ambition: empowering individuals around the world through the transformative power of digital literacy and IT skills. Imagine a world where underprivileged communities, regardless of location, can access the tools they need to thrive and improve their lives. I envision crafting innovative technology solutions that bridge the digital divide and spark a global revolution in learning. My extensive experience in:

• Architecting and deploying network, cloud, and communications technologies (including Microsoft/Cisco Infrastructure, Azure and Microsoft365)
• Leading architectural design and developing technology strategies
• Collaborating with diverse teams and navigating complex project lifecycles
• Translates seamlessly into building sustainable digital literacy programs for underserved communities
• Develop culturally sensitive, low-cost tech solutions accessible to individuals with limited resources.
• Leverage cloud technologies to overcome geographical barriers and deliver impactful learning experiences.
• Partner with local organizations and NGOs to ensure long-term program sustainability and community ownership.
• Mobilize volunteers and resources to amplify the program's reach and impact.
