Our story

From Pokhara to global app stores and shop floors—how Yarsa Labs incubates games, cloud game backends, hardware, commerce, and the ideas we share on our DevBlog.

Yarsa Labs

Yarsa Labs is where our ventures start. We build the systems—finance, HR, legal, infrastructure, and leadership—so product teams can focus on design, engineering, and customers.

Our mission is to make “Made in Nepal” a mark of quality and trust in technology: not as a slogan, but as something people experience in the apps they play, the devices they use, and the platforms they rely on for business.

Yarsa Labs DevBlog

The DevBlog is our open technical journal for engineers and designers—articles on software architecture, game design and art pipelines, security, QA, operations, motion design, and infrastructure.

Anyone building products can read how we solve real problems; it sits alongside our code and designs as part of how we give back to the community.

Yarsa Games

Yarsa Games began in 2017 as a way to teach programming through shipping real games. Early hyper-casual experiments taught us what scales; we doubled down on Block Match, Mighty Survivor Force, the Nepal Driving License game, design, and live operations.

Today the studio is known for approachable, social games that people return to for years—not weeks. We measure success in player trust and long-term retention, not vanity metrics alone.

Since 2024.

Yarsa Play is our game backend as a service: authentication, leaderboards, inventory, tasks, monetization, and live operations—so studios can ship multiplayer titles without standing up their own server stack.

Yarsa Bazar

Yarsa Bazar is our B2B marketplace: we connect manufacturers and retailers so inventory, trust, and pricing move faster across Nepal.

It’s the commercial layer of our ecosystem—built for teams who already make or move physical goods, and need software that fits how Nepal actually does business.
