What we commit to

Clear updates, agreed quality checks and a handover your team can use.

Explore our delivery process

  1. Progress you can see

    A written update every week, and a working demo at every milestone. One named project manager is your point of contact for the length of the build.

  2. A quality bar we agreed

    Acceptance criteria are written before development starts. Every release is tested against them: functional testing on real devices, a performance pass and an accessibility pass, by a QA lead who did not write the code.

  3. Scope changes in writing

    Anything outside the agreed scope is assessed in writing first — what it costs, what it delays, what it affects — and is not built until you approve it.

  4. Code you own

    You get the full source, the build pipeline and the documentation to run it without us. Repository access is yours from the first commit, not handed over at the end.

  5. Support that was always the plan

    Support is stage seven of the same process, with the same people who built it. Coverage hours and response targets are agreed before release, not negotiated after something breaks.

One standard, any market

Requirements agreed in your language, built in Kathmandu, reviewed hard before it ships. Two offices, one team — and no assumption about where you are.

We learned that standard delivering for Japanese manufacturers, who check everything. We apply the same standard now, wherever the client is.

Kathmandu sits at UTC+5:45 — inside a working day of Tokyo, Sydney, Berlin and the US west coast. Published case studies so far are in Japan and Nepal.

Common questions

All questions

What is GStar Technologies?#

GStar Technologies is a software development centre in Kathmandu, Nepal, building web and mobile products for clients in Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States. GStar Technologies is part of the GStar Group of Companies and was previously named JapNep.

Is GStar Technologies the same company as JapNep?#

Yes. JapNep was renamed GStar Technologies. The team, the Kathmandu engineering office and the published client work are unchanged — the name changed, the company did not. Case studies delivered under the JapNep name are still published under GStar Technologies.

Where is GStar Technologies located?#

GStar Technologies has two offices. Engineering sits in Kathmandu, Nepal, where design, development, QA and support share one room. The Hamamatsu office in Shizuoka, Japan is the client-facing side, run by Country Manager Manish Ghimire.

Does GStar Technologies work in Japanese?#

Yes. Meetings in Japan happen in Japanese, in Japanese business hours, with Country Manager Manish Ghimire in Hamamatsu. A full-time Language Coordinator sits between the two offices, because the usual failure of offshore delivery is a requirement that meant two different things in two languages.
