Bhutan's first AI startup is seven college kids in a dorm

🧀

NoMindBhutan, Bhutan's first AI startup run by seven college sophomores, faces a challenging path. Despite securing high-profile clients such as the Bhutan National Bank and Drukair, infrastructural limitations hinder wide-scale app launch. Their journey underscores the need for an evolving AI ecosystem in Bhutan.

  • Founded by Ugyen Dendup and Jamphel Yigzin Samdrup
  • Clients include Bhutan National Bank and Drukair
  • Bhutan has only 15 homegrown tech startups
  • Revenue reinvested in company growth
  • Inadequate digital infrastructure poses a challenge
