I am passionate about helping the technology sector in Nepal grow. I have started various technology companies focused on helping developers as well as clients. I entered the world of entrepreneurship in 2011 with my first venture, Catch Internet, which provides technology solutions. In 2012, I uploaded a free theme, Catch Box, to wordpress.org, which became wildly popular. So in 2012, I created Catch Themes to provide premium themes to clients who needed more functionality and support. I also founded Devote Press, a magazine that helps developers with in-depth tutorials. My most recent venture is Acclaim Technology, an umbrella organization of seven successful IT companies, formed to ensure a strong technology company that can provide a one-stop solution to our client’s technology needs.

To help Nepali theme developers access the international market, I have worked to create Theme Palace, a curated marketplace of themes. I also help organize regular WordPress meetups and WordCamps in Nepal, and speak at technology events in Nepal and abroad. Visit me online at: Sakinshrestha.com
