What could be the reason of increasing flow of Nepalese going abroad for employment in the past few decades? Students are going abroad, adults are going abroad and this only leads to development.

There could be a simple solution for this… For the Human Resource to stay in Nepal and create growth here in Nepal. The solution here is “OPPORTUNITY“. If only we could create and provide opportunities in Nepal then we could hardly deny the upward shift of individual and national level graphs. So, how do we do this? Where are the opportunities? and such questions could arise. Here’s how Cellapp with UNDP Nepal and SmartPalika is taking a step forward to create more than 1,00,000 opportunities in Nepal, specially for those who have been working abroad and affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 pandemic has unemployed many of the Nepalese all over the world. So, to create and provide them opportunities here in Nepal, we with UNDP Nepal and SmartPalika have initiated “SipShala“.

SipShala

SipShala is an AI powered technology which basically connects the opportunity seekers with the providers with advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. All we need to do is login to the system and fill up a set of question list with our detailed skills info. Then we can choose among the different opportunities that shows up in our profile and get chance to work according to our skills. SipShala provides opportunities in terms of Employment, Partnerships, Investments, Collaborations and much more. Both the opportunity creators and seekers can login and use this system for free to create and grab opportunities in Nepal.

You can get to know more and participate from these links:

• SipShala Portal: https://sipshala.com
• SipShala Mobile application: https://bit.ly/3a2n4dg

For Whom is SipShala?

SipShala is basically for every Nepalese who live in any part of the world. However, in professionally SipShala is for the Nepalese seeking or providing opportunities for:

• Jobs/Employment
• Partnership/Collaboration
• Investment/Donation
• Entrepreneurs/Businesses/Startups

Impact with Technology

There is always a room for innovation and a willingness to create. Someone has to start in order to move ahead. At Cellapp we have been creating impact with the means of technology since the past decade. Therefore, SipShala is another move to impact, to create and to something better with technology for the country.

It’s us who make a better society. We are all part of it. Now is the time for us to give something back when our society needs us.

Today is the 46th day of lock-down in Nepal. Who would have ever thought about this situation? We’ve all faced the disaster and had one of our most difficult times. Also we’re witnessing the economy crumble.

However, I guess there are some positives which we can pick out. The general facts such as being safe from the virus, a positive change in the climate condition and many more are there. But I would like to focus here about personal development and capitalizing the crisis for productivity. (Productivity here means providing something to the society from our side as a part of CSR)

Let’s get started with Personal Development

There was a busy time in our life where we wished we had more time so that we could focus on our growth. Well, we’ve got one. But did we fully utilize it? Maybe yes for some and no for many. I was also the part of that ‘many‘ category for the first few days. Thereafter, with sessions and guidance from my mentor, I’d realized that being a Digital Marketer this is the time where I can learn best and know about the market psychology even better. Well, I’ve worked on it and seen the changes. That was from a personal experience but the opportunity for growth in this time is for everybody willing to learn and grow.

How were we productive in this Lock-down?

There is no hindrance for anyone who’s got the will to work hard. And for a team that’s got the same desire, “Productivity is inevitable“. This lock-down where the economy has crumbled and businesses have fallen, we’ve managed to increase the level of our productivity. The crisis came unexpected but we’ve worked since day 1 for providing as much as we can to help fight this situation.

• We’ve developed our own Team Collab app – Collaboration tool for Smart Teams and provided it for free to more than 50 companies and are still giving it away for free to anyone who needs and inquires for it.
• We’ve also developed a full fledged COVID-19 Response System with features such as Quarantine Management, Live Tracking Contact Tracing, Relief Management, Volunteer Management and many more. The system is also announced free for all the Local Government Bodies of Nepal. It is already in use for 80+ Local Governments including 3 Metro Cities and the work still goes on. ( A Timeline of our Project: HERE)

What to conclude from this?

To sum up, there’s no stopping the willingness to do or the desire to learn and grow. We’ve got a crisis situation here and as a part of the society it is our responsibility to give something back at such time. Such belief and work done upon it will only lead to positives and productive society. By being productive I mean to give back to the society as a part of our CSR. This lock-down is indeed a difficult time for all of us but the choice on how to face it and what to do in this period depends all upon us. There are many choices but I guess what matters the most at the end will be how much did we bring out of ourselves during this time.
