The company announced his departure through a social media tribute, thanking him for guiding its merger, organizational integration, technology transformation and financial recovery.
Mr. Regmi previously served as CEO of IME Digital Solution Limited before its merger with Khalti in July 2025. He later served on the merged company’s board and was appointed CEO of IME Khalti in November 2025.
With more than 15 years of experience in fintech, banking and digital transformation, he has been involved in expanding digital financial services and supporting Nepal’s transition towards cashless payments.
He is also the founding president of PSP Association Nepal, an organization representing payment service providers and supporting cooperation within the digital payments industry.

Mr. Regmi also expressed appreciation to the company’s board, shareholders, regulators, partners and colleagues for their support during his tenure. He said the experience and relationships built throughout his leadership would remain meaningful.
Although he has left his executive position, Mr. Regmi indicated that he intends to remain involved in the digital financial services sector. Details of his next professional role have not been announced.
His departure comes as Nepal’s digital payment industry continues to expand, with growing demand for convenient, secure and accessible financial services. The leadership transition opens another chapter for IME Khalti following its merger.
