The nascent web portal, WatchNep.com, is slowly making waves in the Nepali speaking sub stream of the internet. The organisation hopes to provide a comprehensive Nepali media platform that connects Nepali speakers across the globe. Part of their stated goal is to produce and promote Nepali language content to the world, as such the group is currently negotiating terms with filmmakers and writers to produce web series “that address the entertainment needs of an educated, globalised youth.”

The website provides a profile page for registered artists who can upload their videos simply by embedding the YouTube video link.  All one needs to do to be a “verified artist” is sign up and request an artist profile. Part of the website’s appeal is that it siphons Nepali language content from across the web into one accessible place. Doing so allows member artists to circumvent competition from international media in global platforms such as Youtube.

 Promising to dredge fledgling Nepali artists out of obscurity, WatchNep promotes registered artists in other media platforms free of charge. Furthermore, the site also hopes to facilitate remote learning by prioritising lectures and general educational content.

In the coming days the website anticipates “a cool design makeover to make the user experience seamless” as well as adding detailed, immersive profiles for the artists concerned. WatchNep also plans to organise workshops and conferences for content creators, aspiring to collectively organise the proliferation of Nepali media and possibly boost the quality of its content.
