WorldLink BII Dolma Impact Fund investment

Nepal’s leading internet service provider WorldLink has brought in nearly Rs 2 billion in investment from two foreign companies. In a press conference on Monday, March 20, 2023, the private ISP announced that it brought around Rs 1.98 billion in investment from the UK Government’s development finance institution and impact investor British International Investment (BII) and Dolma Impact Fund II. It’s the largest-ever investment to date in Nepal’s internet industry.

The company shared that it brought in ($8.4 million) Rs 1.08 billion from BII and ($6.9 million) Rs 90 crore from Dolma Impact Fund.

An experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and Gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
