Economics, data & digital products
I study how markets work, find the story in the data, and build products that make it useful.
Hi, I’m Utsav.A curious mind, building from Nepal.
01 / Selected work
Independent projects at the intersection of research, local knowledge and useful technology.
Economics → public intelligence
Nepal’s trade data has a story to tell.
I’m making it easier
to read.
A public platform that turns customs releases into clear insights on imports, exports, products and trading partners.
Customs releases contain valuable information. Finding the relevant product, country or monthly change should not require working through an entire workbook.
Bring the data, visual exploration and written analysis together, so people can move from a headline to the detail behind it.
A website for reports and data downloads, plus a dedicated dashboard for exploring Nepal’s foreign trade.
Read a trade reportA cost-sharing ride platform for Nepal. An idea for making the journey more accessible, one shared ride at a time.
Explore the demoConnecting travellers with local experts and tour guides. Built around the people who know a place best.
Explore the prototype02 / The person behind the projects
I’m Utsav, an economics and business researcher with a habit of turning questions into projects.
I’m interested in what happens when research leaves the page: a dataset becomes a useful tool, a market shift becomes a clear story, or local knowledge becomes a better way to travel.
Nepal is my starting point. I want to build things that understand the local context and are thoughtful enough to stand on their own anywhere.
Always up for a good conversation
Understand the people, the context and the information before deciding what to build.
Find the useful signal. Give it a form that someone can understand and act on.
Build something people can try. Keep learning from how they actually use it.
03 / Field notes
A published report, and a few ideas I keep coming back to.
Bhadra · FY 2083/84
Products, trading partners and the movement behind the monthly numbers.
Read the reportOn my mind / open questions
I’m interested in the gap between publishing information and making it useful. What would change if a small business could explore economic data as easily as a researcher?
A place is more than a list of attractions. I’m exploring how digital products can help people discover it through the guides, communities and everyday journeys that give it meaning.
I think independent projects from Nepal deserve the same attention to clarity, usefulness and craft as products built anywhere else. That’s the standard I’m working towards.
A research question, a product idea, or a problem worth figuring out together. I’d love to hear it.
