Bijay Timalsina

Bijay Timalsina leads Tech Pana, a media company he has run for seven years, evolving it from a direct tech news portal to a media house that examines all aspects of society through a technological lens. This expansion includes covering government service delivery, social events, and tech-based crimes, moving beyond traditional gadget and brand reporting. Under his leadership, Tech Pana launched a significant fact-checking initiative, verifying viral social media claims, particularly during elections, and actively engaging its audience to tag suspicious content for verification.

Mr. Timalsina emphasizes that media is fundamentally a business of trust, not merely selling products or services, and stresses the importance of journalistic ethics, accountability, and providing balanced perspectives. He advocates for niche media that serves specific community interests, such as the tech ecosystem, and believes media's role is to question those in power and give voice to common people. Furthermore, he is developing courses to educate content creators on ethical practices, content verification, and responsible information dissemination to combat misinformation and promote media literacy.
