Proactively Responding to Uncertainty, Protecting Employee Interests, and Ensuring Stable Operation of the SMC APP

September 10, 2025 – Kathmandu — In response to recent social unrest and policy fluctuations within Nepal, SMC Headquarters has officially issued a temporary adjustment announcement regarding its Nepal operations. The announcement outlines interim changes to business operations and introduces a series of protection and support measures to ensure the stable operation of the SMC APP, safeguard employee safety, and promote long-term sustainable development.

Deep Commitment to the Nepali Market, Remarkable Progress Achieved

Since the official launch of the SMC APP in Nepal in December 2024, the company has followed a clear trajectory of “building from the ground up with full localization.” It has rapidly completed internal testing, achieved legal registration, rolled out formal task modules, established structured team hierarchies, implemented the K-level promotion system, expanded membership features, and launched numerous entrepreneurship support centers across the country.

To date, the SMC APP has successfully onboarded and served over 600,000 formal employees in Nepal. Its service network spans key cities such as Kathmandu, Chitwan, Itahari, and Dharan, forming a nationwide infrastructure for training, task support, and localized onboarding. The SMC APP has become the first digital advertising application in Nepal that offers task-based earnings through “watching movies and writing reviews,” while also providing employees with stable income channels and structured career progression paths.

Over the past eight months, the SMC APP has distributed tens of billions of Nepalese Rupees in task rewards, fixed monthly salaries, and fund-based income to employees. Nepal has consistently ranked among the top global markets across key performance indicators such as daily task completion, engagement rates, and active team expansion.

These achievements are the direct result of tireless efforts by every recruiting manager, the diligent commitment of every team leader, and the continued trust and participation of every employee.

SMC APP Responds Swiftly to a Shifting Environment

Since early September 2025, Nepal has witnessed a wave of nationwide protests and political unrest, particularly around the banning of major social media platforms and disruptions to financial systems. These developments have hindered the normal operations of banking services in many areas and made it difficult for financial personnel and recruiting managers to perform their duties.

In light of these circumstances and in alignment with its strong commitment to employee well-being and operational sustainability, SMC Headquarters has activated its emergency response strategy and issued the following temporary measures for the Nepal market:

Temporary suspension of daily task distribution in Nepal
Potential delays in withdrawal approvals due to limited banking operations
Uninterrupted recharge and withdrawal functions across all channels
Strict advisories for employees to avoid political activity or public gatherings
Task distribution will resume immediately once the situation stabilizes

Strong Support Measures for Employees During Suspension

Understanding that the temporary halt in task issuance may place financial pressure on some team members, SMC has established a hardship subsidy program. Recruiting managers are authorized to submit applications on behalf of employees who continue to cooperate with company policies, actively refer new members, or support team growth during this period.

New member registration remains open, and employees who join during this time will enjoy full access to rights and onboarding privileges provided by the SMC APP.

Recruiting Managers to Ensure Stability and Communication

All recruiting managers are expected to remain active during this phase and continue fulfilling their core responsibilities. This includes disseminating updated information from SMC Headquarters, submitting team feedback, and ensuring smooth communication within each team.

The company reiterates that no unofficial information should be circulated during this sensitive period. All news and updates regarding the SMC APP must come through the in-app announcements or be confirmed by authorized management.

Unwavering Vision, Collective Return to Growth

SMC remains fully committed to its long-term strategic development in Nepal.
While temporary challenges exist, the company’s trust in its Nepali employees and investment in this market have never wavered.

In the coming months, the SMC APP will continue to introduce new employee incentive programs and optimize its rewards systems, ensuring that team members not only earn meaningful income but also gain long-term career development opportunities.

All employees are encouraged to stay confident and focused, continue building team unity, and take full advantage of the SMC APP’s support framework. Once the local situation stabilizes, we look forward to welcoming everyone back to work, restoring normal task cycles, and progressing together toward long-term success and personal achievement.

For further information, please contact your recruiting manager or log in to the official SMC APP platform.
