The name ‘Digital Gurkha’ is often correlated with ‘Digital Marketing’ which seems plausible considering the impact they have made in revolutionizing the Digital Marketing industry of Nepal. Founded in October 2017 as a digital marketing agency, Digital Gurkha made a huge name for itself in the industry within a short span of two years. By 2019, it became one of the best agencies in Nepal – thanks to the profound determination of the team. However, after some re-structuring sessions, the company went on to re-establish itself as an Edutech platform along the name Digital Gurkha Academy in August, 2021.
There are a lot of things that make Digital Gurkha Academy one of its kind in Nepal. Out of them, the most significant one is DG team. The team is made up of impact-driven individuals who have dedicated their time, knowledge and skills to create an affordable learning space for Nepali people. Similarly, Digital Gurkha Academy aims to foster the knowledge-driven economy on Nepal and they are right on the path!
