Est. 2024 • Between Nepal & the United States

Quiet stories. Brave science.
A gentle home for the Nepali diaspora.

Sochko Udaan is a living notebook — of migrations and return journeys, of hospitals and hostel rooms, of water pumps and whispered dreams. Here we build tools, tell stories, and make it a little easier to belong in two worlds at once.

New conversations on most Fridays — when life allows.

Namaste, I’m Neeraj.

I arrived in the United States with a single suitcase and a head full of questions: how do you honour the soil you come from while learning to breathe in a new sky? I trained as a Biomedical Engineer, but my work has always lived at the edge of community, care, and design.

Sochko Udaan holds the pieces together — a podcast for scattered hearts, a set of projects for schools and hospitals back home, and a quiet space for Nepali students and professionals who are still figuring it out (like me).

If you’ve ever felt “in between” — between passports, languages, careers, or versions of yourself — you’re in the right place.

Projects in Flight

Not just ideas on paper — these are living experiments in care: media, infrastructure, and software braided together for Nepali communities at home and abroad.

Media

Sochko Udaan Podcast

Long-form conversations with students, professionals, and quiet heroes of the Nepali diaspora. We talk visas and vulnerability, failure and faith, research and restless hearts.

Infrastructure

Solar-Powered WASH & Menstrual Hygiene Hub

A school-based water and hygiene hub for Nepal’s Terai region — clean drinking water, safe menstrual products, and dignified restrooms designed with girls at the centre. Built in partnership with local schools, engineers, and community leaders.

If you represent a public school in the Terai and would like to explore a pilot, these forms help us understand your context before any promises are made.

Software

Hospital App & Student Network

Two sibling tools: a hospital-facing app to make appointments and medication management less painful in Kathmandu; and a quiet network for Nepali students navigating studies, visas, and work abroad.

If you're a clinician, hospital admin, or student who wants to co-design this with us, reach out through the contact form below.
