WorldLink is the largest
Internet Service Provider
(ISP) in Nepal and one of
the most prominent IT companies.
Founded in September 1995
with the aim of providing
Internet and IT services by
its present Chairman and Managing
Director, Dileep Agrawal,
WorldLink started off by providing
store-and-forward e-mail services
over a dial-up link to the
Internet in the US. In March
1997, WorldLink started providing
full Internet access over
a dedicated leased-line to
the Internet backbone in the
US through Teleglobe International.
Since September 1999, WorldLink
has been connecting to the
Internet over a direct satellite
uplink through its own VSAT
terminal, thereby completely
bypassing Nepal Telecommunications
Corporation, the local PTT.
Over the past 12 years, WorldLink
has grown from a small business
to a strong and stable corporation
with professional staff and
a strong customer base. The
company has also positioned
itself as a complete IT service
provider rather than just
an ISP, by providing services
such as data connectivity,
network integration and consulting,
web hosting and development,
hardware sales and maintenance,
and software development and
systems integration through
its partnership with WorldLink
Technologies Pvt Ltd. Our
success as an excellent service
provider is exemplified by
the satisfaction of our customers,
which include such reputed
names as the United Nations,
American Embassy and the Government
of Nepal.
WorldLink is a success story,
the likes of which are usually
found in the Silicon Valley.
It has thus served as a role
model for other startup IT
companies. It has demonstrated
to young entrepreneurs that
IT is the wave of the future,
even in a relatively small
market like Nepal. It has
undoubtedly contributed to
the ongoing IT revolution
visible in this small Himalayan
country. In recognition of
its contribution, Nepal Government
has invited WorldLink to be
a part of IT taskforces such
as the National IT Infrastructure
Development Committee and
contribute to the development
of IT in the country. |
