Our Origin Story

Built in Kathmandu,
for Kathmandu

OBcrm was engineered to solve the unique operational burdens faced by Nepal's study-abroad specialists — the people helping students build their futures abroad.

Why we built this

Study abroad consultancies operate under intense complexity. Between coordinating candidate academic credentials, managing installment schedules, tracking visa milestones, and coordinating sub-agent referral structures — operations fragment quickly.

Standard global CRM tools are too generic. They fail to understand double-entry NPR installment ledgers, commission distributions, sub-agent workflows, or regional attendance synchronization systems built for the Nepali market.

Our mission

We built OBcrm to bridge these exact gaps. By providing localized tools — integrating eSewa, Khalti, local bank references, and SMS APIs — we empower teams to run their candidate applications seamlessly from first inquiry to visa approval.

"Make every consultancy as operationally efficient as the best one."

We help you scale trust and admissions without doubling administrative headcounts. Automate repetitive work, give your team real-time visibility, and let AI handle the document processing.

What We Stand For

Continuous Evolution

Regular releases bringing AI-powered SOP generation, visa mock simulators, and workflow automation improvements each sprint.
