An ICT Award 'Top 5' Finalist Mobile App

Rent A Bike was a start-up venture that I started along with my friends. ​Having lived in Pokhara, mountain biking was an adventure sport that I ​always felt was underappreciated.

The idea stemmed from a problem shared with us by a Mountain Bike ​Rental in Pokhara, the difficulty in navigating through mountain biking ​trails using a physical map. To solve this problem, we developed a ​vendor-aggregator app where people could book mountain bikes online ​and could navigate through some short-mountain bike trips using ​interactive mapping instead of hiring a full-time guide.

Our start-up idea was awarded as one of the Top 5 ideas in the ICT Award ​Nepal in the Rising Star Innovation category. Unfortunately, our start-up ​could not live through the difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I helped create an AR marketing campaign at my former company, Esfera Brandings ​featuring Bhaitika-themed filters for Facebook and Instagram, allowing our ​audience to virtually celebrate Tihar. The campaign included a collage generator to ​deepen engagement, enabling siblings to share personalized festival memories. ​This innovative use of AR technology brought families closer, even from afar.

Note: Bhai Tika, the most cherished day of the Nepalese festival, Tihar, is celebrated on the premise of ​love, worship, beautiful hues, flowers, and delicacies prepared especially for one’s brother.

NFDN Sleuth and Accessibility for Inclusion

User Research | Wireframing | Volunteer Support | Data Upload on Open Street Map

The NFDN Sleuth app was used by 15 volunteers ​with disabilities (mobility, vision) to collect ​wheelchair accessibility data from more than ​1200 public places in Kathmandu valley. The ​public places included in the project were ​hospitals, banks, malls, educational institutions, ​etc. This data was added on OSM and ​wheelmap.org.

This data can, at present, be accessed by people ​with mobility impairments to look up the ​accessibility information on public places in their ​vicinity.

Unique Feature:

An interactive map feature that allows users to view ​different bus routes to their destinations along with ​pick-up location, drop-off location, and rest stops.

Thank You!
