Who We Are

Started by Professionals Solving the Same Problems

AVL Association of Nepal started with a small group of sound engineers, lighting designers, video technicians and rental companies who were tired of solving the same problems alone.

Today it includes individual professionals, studios, production houses and suppliers from across the country, all working toward the same thing: an industry that's better organized and taken more seriously.

Our Purpose

Mission & Vision

Mission: We train people, set safety standards, push for fair business practices and give this industry a community it can actually rely on.

Vision: An AVL industry in Nepal that's properly regulated, well trained and recognized internationally, where people can build real careers and clients get work they can count on.

Founding Years

A handful of AVL professionals started meeting informally to talk through shared problems, from equipment safety to contracts that favored one side. Eventually they agreed the industry needed something more formal to represent it.

Growing Together
