A journey that began in a modest 10×10 room with two computers has now become one of Nepal’s most inspiring tech success stories. Santosh Tamrakar, recognized as the visionary Managing Director driving one of Nepal’s largest business software companies into the global arena.
The story feels like a movie script. Fresh from the UK in 2004, a young graduate joined a small IT firm with big dreams. By 2007, he was Chief Marketing Officer. A few years later, he became a shareholder. And in 2019, he took the reins as Managing Director, transforming IMS Software into a tech powerhouse. Under Tamrakar’s leadership, IMS Software didn’t just stop at retail POS or restaurant billing. It expanded into distribution, hospitality, and custom enterprise solutions. Today, IMS Software serves more than 20,000 clients across Nepal, India, Malaysia, UAE, UK, and Japan.
Industry reactions
“IMS Software is redefining how local businesses think about technology.”

If the past is any indicator, Santosh Tamrakar is far from done. IMS Software is investing in AI, global systems, and stronger security. The company is aiming to be a regional leader. For Nepal’s IT industry, this is more than a success story. It’s proof that vision, persistence, and the right leadership can take a small startup and turn it into a global player.
Will Santosh Tamrakar’s next big move put IMS Software among the top Asian tech brands?
