In the early 1990s, Nepal faced a significant void in technology and essential services, such as consultancy and telecommunications, impeding the nation’s economic and technological growth. Recognizing this need, Mr. Deepak Malhotra founded International Marketing Services in 1993, now known as Integrated Mobility Solutions (IMS). IMS quickly became a trailblazer, becoming the first company in Nepal to officially import mobile phones in 1998, thus enhancing accessibility to mobile technology nationwide. Through its unwavering integrity and commitment to excellence, IMS has secured a leading position in the mobile segment, distinguishing itself from competitors and reinforcing its status as a pioneer in Nepal’s business landscape.

Since its inception, the company has achieved remarkable growth and diversification, evolving into a conglomerate with over 20 companies under the IMS Group umbrella. This transformation was fueled by a commitment to enhance Nepal’s technological and economic landscapes, empowering citizens through customer-centric services. The group’s operations span a network of distributors, dealers, retailers, and suppliers, with its headquarters located in Kathmandu, Nepal.

IMS Group proudly serves as the Authorized National Distributor of Samsung Smartphones and Tablets, further cementing its status as a leader in the mobile technology sector.
