The project has been initiated to address such needs. Thulo.Com has aimed to onboard 1,000 MSMEs and support them to digitise their businesses and it is collaborating with organisations that are constantly working on developing MSMEs. Thulo.Com has collaborated with Women Development Centre, Department of Lalitpur Metropolitan City Office to enrol MSMEs based in Lalitpur Metropolitan City in this project. The training programme held on August 2 was graced by Manjali Shakya Bajracharya, Deputy Mayor, Lalitpur Metropolitan City who encouraged participants to learn new skills that would enhance their entrepreneurial journey. She explained the benefits of training the metropolitan city office introduced to support women entrepreneurs. She expressed happiness towards Thulo.Com for providing digital transformation opportunities to women entrepreneurs in the metropolis. Surakchya Adhikari, Co-founder, and COO of Thulo.Com shared, “Thulo.Com is an impact commerce company which has been supporting MSMEs in digital transformation and we plan to continue to support MSMEs by providing access to Market, Technology, and Knowledge. In order to support enterprises led by women entrepreneurs based in Lalitpur Metropolis, we collaborated with the Women Development Centre, Department of Lalitpur Metropolitan City Office. We look forward to continuing this collaboration to support MSMEs in the long run.” Abhilasha Poudel, Social Impact Manager of Thulo.Com, shared, “In order to grow, sustain and achieve efficient operations for MSMEs, use of digital technology has become essential. Realising the same, Thulo.Com is focused to provide access to digital platforms and skills to MSMEs that will help them digitise their business. With a collaborating partner like the Lalitpur Metropolitan City office, we will be able to leverage our capabilities in digitising MSMEs.” Meanwhile, Thulo.Com has recently announced its partnership with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) to help 1,000 MSMEs in Nepal to digitise their operations, including at least 60% women-owned businesses.
