Naxa's vision is to be a leading geo-intelligence provider that helps the world navigates its future.

NAXA Pvt. Ltd. is an outcome of the willpower to introduce location data as the foundational data for any developmental activity.

The story: The company was founded in 2014 by Geomatics Engineers specialized in GIS mapping and geo-database management and visualization and envision taking the digital mapping sector in Nepal to a higher level.

In the fall of 2014, three youths from Geomatics Engineering Faculty from Kathmandu University, who had a deep interest in digital technologies along with their friends participated in a hackathon event titled “NASA International Space Apps Challenge”. This is NASA’s global hackathon, first held in April 2012, and serves as an innovation incubation and civic engagement program. The team developed an app “CLEAN KTM” which is a crowdsourcing platform to report and manage waste problems in Kathmandu Valley.

The idea won the competition. This victory became a huge source of encouragement for the team to establish their own entity in Nepal and work further on the development of technological solutions for local problems mobilizing the local youths in Nepal. NAXA has since been striving to build partnerships with agencies that promote recent technologies for better performance. Since the 2015 Nepal Earthquake, NAXA has been extensively involved in ideation, design and implementation of several technologies in disaster risk reduction initiatives.
