Kathmandu. Vianet, which connects millions of homes across the country with reliable internet service, will now be seen in the cricket field as a symbol of sports connectivity. Vianet has become the connectivity partner of Chitwan Rhinos, a team participating in the Nepal Premier League.
Vice President of Commercial and Marketing Department of Vianet Shaheen Shrestha and Chief Organizing Officer of Chitwan Rhinos Dr. Ashish Khadka signed the agreement.
The second edition of the Nepal Premier League (NPL) is scheduled to be held at Tribhuvan University Cricket Ground, Kirtipur from November 17 to December 13, 2025. National player Kushal Malla is the marquee player of Chitwan Rhinos.
“We’ve been involved with sports since the beginning. Our investment in sports is more of a responsibility than a business. It is an investment in our society and the new generation, which is helping to spread positive energy within the country. What’s more, sports bring people closer, strengthening their relationship with each other, just like the internet. That’s why we are continuously supporting the sports sector,” said Shaheen Shrestha, Vice President, Commercial and Marketing, Vianet.
Vianet has made sports an important part of its social responsibility since its inception. Earlier, Vianet was the title sponsor of both the International Women’s Football Championship held in February and the Corporate Cricket League held in August. Likewise, footballer Sabitra Bhandari was announced as the brand ambassador of Samba and launched a ‘Samba Pack’.
Through this association with Chitwan Rhinos, Vianet is confident that it will act as a bridge to boost the morale of the players, the emotions of the spectators and bring together the sports lovers across the country.
