Kantipur NEO is the research and innovation engine of Kantipur Group launched in 2025, built on the belief that the best journalism and the best technology are not in tension, but in service of each other.

The company works at the intersection of newsroom practice and emerging technology, with a focus on four areas: artificial intelligence and newsroom automation, content distribution and platform strategy, data analysis and audience intelligence, and user engagement research. Its work spans every platform in the KMG portfolio, helping journalists work at their highest potential and helping audiences engage more deeply with the stories that matter to them.

In a media landscape undergoing rapid transformation, Kantipur NEO exists to ensure that KMG’s journalism doesn’t just keep pace, but leads. It is where KMG asks the harder questions about where news can be, who it can reach, and how it can better serve Nepal’s evolving information needs.
