September 11, Kathmandu.

Kathmandu, Nepal. Global mobility and delivery platform inDrive has contributed Rs. 7 crore 50 lakh (approximately USD 500,000) to the Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund, with the aim of supporting the Nepal government’s ongoing efforts for the relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of families and communities affected by the recent Bhote Koshi flood.

The donation was handed over to Honorable Finance Minister Dr. Swarnim Wagle on September 9, 2026, in the presence of inDrive Nepal representatives.

The Bhote Koshi flood, which occurred on August 26 due to a glacial and rock slide near the Nepal-China border, has caused significant human and material damage in various places in Nuwakot and Dhading, including Rasuwa, in the lower riparian areas.

Along with the loss of lives and property due to the disaster, widespread damage has also occurred to houses, schools, bridges, hydropower projects, and other important public infrastructure. Following the flood, search, rescue, and relief operations are ongoing in the affected areas, and the search for missing persons is also continuing.

Along with the financial contribution to the Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund, inDrive has also provided direct relief to flood-affected communities. Under this initiative, immediately necessary relief materials have been provided to flood-affected families in Ward No-9 of Bidur Municipality, Nuwakot.

Under the direct relief assistance, essential materials including food, solar lamps, induction cookers, blankets, and sanitary pads were distributed, keeping in mind the immediate needs of the affected families. The main objective of this initiative was to provide immediate relief to the affected families by making essential basic materials available for daily life in the difficult post-disaster situation.

Arsen Tomsky, Founder and CEO of inDrive, said,
“The devastating floods in Nepal have forced many families and communities to face severe damage and difficult circumstances. We express our deepest condolences to all who have lost their loved ones, homes, or livelihoods.

Nepal is an important part of the inDrive community, and in such challenging times, we want to stand with the Nepali people. We believe that this support will provide necessary assistance to affected families who require immediate aid and contribute to the rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts of the affected communities.”

inDrive has expressed deep condolences to the families who lost their loved ones in the Bhote Koshi disaster. Furthermore, it has expressed solidarity with families still awaiting news of missing relatives and all communities affected by the disaster, stating that it stands with them during this difficult time.

Through this support, inDrive aims to contribute not only to immediate relief but also to rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts that will help the affected communities return to normal life.
