About YoGas

Building fair, transparent LPG queues for every Nepali household.

The Context

Our story

Like millions of Nepalis, our co-founders spent hours standing in LPG cylinder queues under the sun. The problem wasn't just the wait - it was the uncertainty. Hoarding, favouritism, and no way to know whether your turn would come today or never.

YoGas was born from one simple idea: a virtual, transparent queue where your place in line is tied to your identity, not to who you know. Join a depot's waitlist with your name, citizenship number and address, watch your position update live, and collect your cylinder with a single QR code.

Today we serve households across Nepal, partnering with local depots to make cylinder distribution fair again - one verified request at a time.

Automatic worldwide distribution lets users across Nepal access from any device, anywhere.

OUR MISSION

Our mission

To make LPG cylinder distribution in Nepal fair, transparent and stress-free by replacing physical queues with a trusted virtual line that anyone can join and everyone can verify.

What we stand for

The pillars guiding how we build software for public transparency.

1

Transparency

Your position in the queue is live and visible to everyone. No hidden allotments.

2

Identity

One citizenship number, one place in the line. Repeat requests and hoarding have nowhere to hide.

3

Fairness

We allot in strict queue order, with no special treatment for anyone.

4

For Nepal

Built by Nepalis, for Nepalis, on top of infrastructure that works for our context.

Security & Transparency

Our platform provides rate-limited login attempts, encrypted sessions, and full audit logging. Every transaction is tracked, and cylinders are automatically required.
