Yarsa Tech — The Pioneer of Nepal’s Electronic Manufacturing Scene
Manufactured in Nepal seems like a too-good-to-be-true statement given the country’s journey in advancing the electronics manufacturing industry. However, Yarsa Tech stands as a prime example of this with remarkable progress.
Yarsa Tech, a leading electronics manufacturer headquartered in Pokhara, is a part of the esteemed parent company — Yarsa Labs. You might recognize their other subsidiary, Yarsa Games, the brains behind popular mobile hits like Ludo and Callbreak. With seven years of tech-savvy experience, Yarsa Labs is transforming Nepal’s tech scene by initiating new ventures. The company is set to make an even bigger impact with several upcoming projects.
As one of many Yarsa Labs’ initiatives, Yarsa Tech was founded on March 22, 2022, primarily aiming to manufacture electronic products in Nepal from scratch. Despite its brief existence, the company can be considered a pioneer in locally producing various electronic products that meet both Nepali and international standards.
For a long time, manufacturing in Nepal has meant gathering materials and assembling them for quick distribution. However, contradicting this established idea, Yarsa Tech follows a proper workflow that fits the description of actual manufacturing. With trained and experienced personnel at hand, Yarsa Tech follows a meticulous process from sourcing raw materials to precision assembly, ensuring quality control at every step of the production cycle.
Making “Made in Nepal” Possible
Yarsa Tech’s first step before ideating a new electronic product is to carry out calculated research addressing the needs of the Nepali electro-technical market. This process aims to ideate transformative products that not only fill market gaps but also effectively meet user needs.
One of Yarsa Tech’s true capabilities lies in the product development process. The manufacturing roadmap follows a development process where our electronics design department sparks innovation by constantly experimenting and pushing boundaries with complex designs. From PCB Fabrication and Assembly to 3D printing versatile prototypes, Yarsa Tech checks all the boxes of in-house manufacturing. All thanks to our talented engineers and FDM/SLA 3D printers for turning mere ideas into tangible models.
Each product is crafted with careful attention to detail, prioritizing user-centric design and market relevance. We employ rapid prototyping techniques to accelerate development, utilizing resin-printed moulds, CNC machines, lasers, and in-house packaging designers. This comprehensive approach expedites the process and ensures that our products meet the highest standards of quality and aesthetics.
Seamlessly managing mass manufacturing, we employ industrial-scale injection moulding machines and a comprehensive PCBA facility, ensuring high-volume production from start to finish. By partnering with our design team to conceptualize packaging, we bridge the gap between vision and execution, benefiting from their involvement since the project’s outset. This collaboration enhances the feel and the visual appeal of our product and packaging, ultimately enriching the overall brand experience.
The multitude of experiments and our diverse product catalogue has been a great learning experience for everyone at Yarsa Tech. One of the practices we adopted during the development of our debut product, Nizi Power, was Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA). Seeing the benefits, we quickly started using this approach to make our manufacturing process more efficient for future products. This proactive approach ensures that Yarsa Tech stays at the forefront of Nepal’s electronics manufacturing industry.
