iMerit Technology Services Bhutan was launched at Thimphu Tech park today. It is expected to create employment opportunities for the Bhutanese youth.

The Minister for Labour and Human Resources, Ugyen Dorji and Ambassador of India to Bhutan Ruchira Kamboj inaugurated iMerit in Bhutan at Thimphu Tech Park today.

iMerit Bhutan is an IT service company. It offers data services to global companies around the world. The company provides tech-enabled data services for application in areas like machine learning, computer vision, and e-commerce amongst others.

“We offer data services to global companies around the world. Those companies are using this data to solve some very difficult problem using technology. This problem includes how to get a car to drive itself without a driver or how to automatically detect diseases from medical images like x-rays and MRIs. Another example of this can be how to find the pollution and destruction of the forest from the satellite images. In all these cases the computer depends on the data and without this data, the computer cannot come to any conclusion. This data is provided by our staff. The staff goes through all the images or all the data which is needed by the computer and creates a kind of a guide for the computer to understand this data and draw the conclusion. In a nutshell, this is data services to help computers to learn how to solve a very difficult problem,” said Jai Natarajan, the Vice President for Marketing and Strategic Business Development, iMerit.

The company has already employed  130 youth at the Thimphu Tech Park. Out of which 70 per cent are girls. They have been running a pilot operation at the Thimphu tech park for the past few months.

The CEO of Tech Park in Thimphu said besides creating employment opportunities for youth, the Bhutanese IT companies can learn a lot from the company.

“The company has already employed 130 people here, and in India, they have 7 centres and employed 2500 people. We hope that they will grow in Bhutan and provide a lot of employment opportunities to a lot of other young people. But the benefit to Bhutan is not just from the employment creation point of view. When companies like iMerit comes here they are bringing a lot of technical know-how and best practices which our starts up and which our own IT companies in Bhutan can look up to and learn from and in addition to that through the platform that they provide to our young people to engage themselves and learn and to become more skilled. I think it will have a far reaching socio-economic impact. So it is more than creating jobs,” said Tshering Cigay Dorji (PhD), the CEO for Thimphu Tech Park.

iMerit Bhutan private limited is a subsidiary company of iMerit technologies based in the US.
