You guys are classic cases of making mountains out of molehills. The gossipers, the 'ek kan dui kan maidaan's , the pea-brained, sheep-mentalitied, thuk nilne, aunla padkaune ignoramuses who won't even bother to look for credibility of a source before dissing it and acting like a regicide was commited.

Have you checked their blog?

Welcome all:

This blog will be the place where we post our products’ improvements, describe new features, update old ones, and provide information of our small start-ups.

Today is an exciting day for us and we are all taking a deep breath. Finally, our dream of serving users is coming true.

When you dream of something big, it takes a long time to realize it. Sagoon has been no exception. Two years ago, it was no more than a glimmer of an idea. However, my desire to build a search portal became so strong soon, I was having sleepless nights. But it was still a faraway dream for me as I did not have financial backup to kick-start such a venture.

One fine day, I went to see my good friend Shiba - with his encouraging premises we started building Sagoon. We faced many ups and downs, encouragements as well as discouragements, and appreciation as well as brickbats. But we stuck to our dream and today, after much struggle, Sagoon is actually getting launched.
The realization of the dream involved many friends and online industries. We would like to thank all those who supported us during this difficult task – Mr. Aristotle Thapa, Dr. Niladri Chatterjee, Mr. Umesh Giri, Mr. Ramjee Pahadee, Mr. Mohan Giri, Mr. Nabin Chuwan, Mrs. Sunita Khadka and of course countless support from my wife Sushila Giri. In addition, we would also like to thank all our partners including Elixir Web Solutions, Yahoo, Daylife, Blinkx, and RAN Research. I hope we will continue receiving your help, support, and collaboration in the future.

Sagoon’s launch is the beginning of our journey – a journey that will no doubt face bigger challenges and more responsibilities. But this is also an opportunity to work with the millions users everyday. With the progress of time, we will be exploring more ideas and incorporating more advanced technology in order to provide better services.

Sagoon also welcomes interested investors, business gurus, VC, and technology-savvy entrepreneurs to help us fulfill our goals. Talented and experienced individuals are also invited to become a part of our management team.
We finally request our users and consumers to give us their suggestions and feedback to improve our service better.

Thank you for using Sagoon.

Best Regards,
Govinda

The HQ might be in India for various reasons. Mainly if HQ was in ktm then prolly load shedding would have hampered operations.
Secondly, India has MUCH MORE funds than our Nepal to provide for the needs of a project of such proportions. There are a LOT more IT graduates who are Indian simply because of the fact that our population is 29 mil and theirs is 1147 Million. We have to swallow our pride at one point.

That might not satisfy a lot of people, but lets see the donut and not the hole.
