• Started with a salary survey using a google form, got around 1000 responses in 4 months. Using the database and based on feedback, we build www.salaryinbox.com and our first version went live in January 2025.

So, we would like to proudly call them as co-founders of SalaryInBox and our goal of salary transparency and informed salary negotiations in Nepal would not have been possible without their support.
