Saurab Sharma - CEO of Mandala Tech
Curious by nature, Builder by Choice
Saurab Sharma is a software entrepreneur with over 10 years of experience in building and scaling digital businesses. He co-founded Mandala Tech in 2018 with a simple, powerful idea: that technology, when built thoughtfully, can solve real problems and quietly transform everyday systems. Mandala Tech’s first product- a custom inventory and operations system was built to bring order to his own family-run bookstore. That project became Books Mandala, now Nepal’s largest dedicated online bookstore. Today, it stands as a testament to Saurab’s belief that systems thinking, combined with clear intention, can lead to real-world impact.
Crafting Excellence
Saurab's leadership is grounded in curiosity, disciplined execution, and an enduring commitment to building tools that matter.
From Ideas to Impact
Saurab believes that if you can imagine it, you can build it and that the gap between the two is shorter than ever before. With technology moving at unprecedented speed, he sees Mandala Tech as a vehicle to turn high-leverage ideas into working systems; fast, and with care.
“It’s not about launching quickly. It’s about launching meaningfully, at the right time, with the right intent, and for the right reasons.” At Mandala Tech, this means crafting software with long-term value, solving for usability, scalability, and local context, especially in ecosystems as complex as Nepal’s.

Mission
Saurab’s mission has always been clear: to use frontier technology to solve foundational problems, especially in places where infrastructure is limited, and innovation is harder to execute. What began as a need to build tools for his own ventures has evolved into Mandala Tech: a company committed to delivering practical, scalable, and beautiful software products. These aren’t tools built for hypothetical users, they’re built for real people, real businesses, and real challenges. This isn’t just innovation. It’s progress, measured in working systems, not pitch decks. “We don’t build for the hype cycle. We build what should already exist, but doesn’t yet.”
