# List of critical infrastructure operators in Nepal

Tamtam tracks 35 critical infrastructure operators headquartered in Nepal. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Nepal Telecom, WorldLink Communications and NIC ASIA BANK. Their median headcount is 586. Half of them were founded in 2001 or later.

These are some of the largest critical infrastructure operators in Nepal, primarily comprising banking and telecommunications firms. Companies like Nepal Telecom, founded in 1916, provide a wide range of telecommunication services, while WorldLink Communications, established in 1995, is a major broadband provider. The list also features prominent banks such as NIC ASIA BANK, Nabil Bank, and NMB Bank Ltd., offering diverse financial services.

A clear pattern among these companies is their strong concentration in the Kathmandu Valley. Most of the listed organizations, including Nepal Telecom, NIC ASIA BANK, and Ncell, have their headquarters in Kathmandu, with WorldLink Communications located in nearby Lalitpur. This indicates a central hub for critical infrastructure operations within the region.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
