Spreading Kindness, One Cup at a Time: a-OK Launches in Kathmandu on Akshaya Tritiya

Imagine a world where kindness is as simple as sharing a cup of coffee or tea. With the arrival of a-OK (act of Kindness) in Kathmandu, this vision becomes reality! Developed by ankaEK, this innovative platform invites users to share joy and gratitude by sending heartfelt messages paired with coffee or tea to friends, family, or even strangers. With a-OK, every gesture becomes a radiant moment of connection, transforming ordinary exchanges into extraordinary acts of kindness.

Why Akshaya Tritiya?

Launching on Akshaya Tritiya, a day revered for prosperity, generosity, and new beginnings, a-OK perfectly aligns with the spirit of selfless giving. Just as Akshaya Tritiya symbolizes abundance and the infinite nature of goodwill, a-OK aims to cultivate lasting moments of kindness across Kathmandu—one cup at a time.

Transforming Gifting into Meaningful Connections, One Tap at a Time

“Spreading kindness isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are,” said Vashishtha, CEO of ankaEK. “Kindness is a movement—where a single act has the power to inspire countless others. At a-OK, we believe that even a simple offering, like a cup of coffee, can ignite a ripple effect of goodwill, connection, and compassion—turning everyday moments into something truly meaningful.”
