Praveen Regmi appointed as CEO of IME Khalti

KATHMANDU: IME Khalti, which has been jointly operating since July 17, 2025, following the merger of IME Digital Solution and Khalti, has appointed Praveen Regmi as its chief executive officer (CEO).

The 11th meeting of the board of directors, held today, appointed Regmi for a four-year term effective immediately.

Regmi, who previously served as CEO of IME Digital Solution, took an active strategic leadership role at IME Khalti after the merger and remained a board member. With more than 15 years’ experience in fintech, banking and digital transformation, Regmi has contributed to modernising and strengthening Nepal’s digital payment system. The company said Regmi will play a notable role as digital transactions expand and the economy moves towards a cashless society. Binay Khadka, who previously served as executive officer, has departed after completing his four-year tenure.

Regmi has also been active in sector coordination and policy reform as founding president of PSP Association Nepal. IME Khalti said it expects to achieve significant progress by drawing on Regmi’s experience, vision and capacity for innovation in the digital payments sector.
