A Historic Leap For Digital Nepal: Subisu Partners APAC IPv6 Council Forge Strategic Alliance at 4th APAC IPv6 Council Meet
10th April 2026, Kathmandu
In a transformative moment for the Nepalese technology landscape, Subisu Limited, the nation’s premier internet and digital service provider, has officially entered into a strategic partnership with the APAC IPv6 Council.
Subisu Partners APAC IPv6 Council
This landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed during the high-profile 4th APAC IPv6 Council Meet at Hotel Radisson, marks a significant turning point in Nepal’s journey toward a robust, next-generation digital infrastructure.
The agreement was formalized by Mr. Binay Mohan Saud, CEO of Subisu Limited, and Prof. Emeritus Dr. Sureswaran Ramdas, representing the APAC IPv6 Council. The ceremony was attended by key stakeholders, policy influencers, and tech leaders, all recognizing the weight of this collaboration in the context of the Digital Nepal Framework.
A Milestone for the Nepalese Tech Community
The significance of this partnership extends beyond corporate interests, resonating deeply within the local IT ecosystem. Chiranjibi Adhikari, a prominent tech entrepreneur and CEO of One Cover Private Limited, hailed the agreement as a “historical milestone” for the entire Nepalese community.
“This collaboration is not just about technical protocols; it is about future-proofing our economy,” Adhikari stated. “By aligning with a prestigious regional body like the APAC IPv6 Council, we are ensuring that Nepal is not just a consumer of global technology, but an active participant in the evolution of the internet. This is a proud day for our tech entrepreneurs and the digital aspirations of our youth.”
Why the Shift to IPv6 is Non-Negotiable
For years, the global internet has relied on IPv4, which offers a limited pool of approximately 4.3 billion IP addresses. With the explosion of smartphones, smart home devices, and industrial automation, these addresses have virtually run out.
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) provides a virtually infinite address space, ensuring every device in Nepal, from a student’s laptop to a farmer’s IoT sensor, can have a unique, secure connection.
This partnership ensures that Subisu Limited leads the charge in this transition, moving Nepal away from the constraints of address translation and toward a more efficient, peer-to-peer internet architecture.
Strategic Pillars of the Subisu-APAC Collaboration
The MoU outlines a comprehensive framework for cooperation designed to elevate the technical capacity of the nation. The partnership is built upon four primary pillars:
Expertise and Knowledge Transfer
The agreement facilitates the seamless exchange of technical documentation and industry best practices. By tapping into the APAC IPv6 Council’s deep well of regional knowledge, Subisu can implement cutting-edge networking standards that have been successful in advanced markets like Japan, Korea, and Singapore.

Institutional Integration and Regional Leadership
By securing institutional membership within the APAC IPv6 Council, Subisu Limited now has a seat at the table with the region’s most influential tech leaders. This ensures that Nepalese interests are represented in regional policy discussions regarding internet governance and infrastructure development.
Technical Empowerment and Skill Building
The exchange of specialists is perhaps the most vital component for the local workforce. International experts will collaborate with Nepalese engineers, providing hands-on training in managing high-level networking, cloud computing environments, and complex server architectures.
Collaborative Research and Innovation
Both organizations have committed to joint publications, contributing research and articles that highlight Nepal’s progress and challenges. This academic and professional synergy will foster a culture of local innovation, encouraging startups to build solutions optimized for an IPv6-first world.
Catalyzing the “Digital Nepal” Vision
This partnership is a direct contributor to the Digital Nepal Framework, the government’s ambitious roadmap to transform the country into a digital-first economy. By prioritizing IPv6, Subisu is providing the bedrock for several critical technologies:
5G Deployment: IPv6 is the mandatory foundation for 5G networks, which require massive addressability for mobile devices.
Internet of Things (IoT): From smart agriculture in the Terai to smart traffic management in Kathmandu, IPv6 allows for the seamless scaling of IoT devices.
Enhanced Cybersecurity: IPv6 includes built-in security features, such as IPSec, which help protect data integrity and user privacy more effectively than older protocols.
A Vision for the Future
Reflecting on the achievement, Binay Mohan Saud, CEO of Subisu Limited, emphasized the global implications of the deal. “Hosting an international technology conference of this caliber and establishing a formal partnership with the APAC IPv6 Council is a matter of great pride for us,” Saud remarked.
“This agreement will act as a bridge, positioning Nepal as a central hub for technology discourse in the Asia-Pacific region and connecting our local tech sector to the global stage.”
The 4th APAC IPv6 Council Meet concludes with a clear message: Nepal is ready for the future. With leaders like Subisu Limited and advocates and CEO of One Cover Private Limited, Chiranjibi Adhikari, driving the conversation, the nation is well on its way to achieving a secure, scalable, and globally integrated digital ecosystem.
