August 1: Arsen Tomsky, the visionary founder and CEO of inDrive, a widely acclaimed mobility app, released his book "inDriver: from Siberia to Silicon Valley" in Nepali.
The book unveiling took place at the Kathmandu Marriott on Tuesday, where Tomsky presented the translated version of his book in the native language.
During the event, Tomsky expressed his excitement about the book now being available in three languages: English, Portuguese, and Nepali.
Tomsky said that his goal is to reach a diverse audience worldwide, enabling them to comprehend his remarkable journey and growth of inDrive from its inception to expanding operations across 45 countries.
Addressing the gathering, Tomsky revealed the motivation behind penning down his experiences. “I aim to inspire youths globally by sharing my real-life experiences through the pages of "inDriver: from Siberia to Silicon Valley”, said Tomsky.
"I decided to have the book translated into Nepali to motivate young minds in Nepal, particularly those in the tech sphere, to venture into entrepreneurship. I firmly believe that resources are ubiquitous, and as a tech student, I kickstarted the inDrive platform with whatever resources were at my disposal," Tomsky emphasized.
Tomsky also expressed his deep attachment to developing nations, their ambitious youth, and the transformative power of technology. He believes in harnessing technology to drive positive change and uplift communities.
inDrive made informal inroads into Nepal last year, capturing the hearts of Nepali youth with its user-friendly and reliable services. The mobility company now operates in 45 countries and is in the process of formalizing its operations in Nepal.
Globally, inDrive stands as the second-largest mobility company after Uber. Yet, Tomsky envisions even greater accomplishments in the future. His ambitious dream includes establishing a university by 2040, symbolizing the organization's commitment to knowledge, innovation, and education.
It all began in 2012 when Tomsky founded inDrive in his hometown, Siberia. Since then, his determination and vision have steered the company towards global success.
