26th January 2022, Kathmandu
Launched in 2017, Nepal’s popular online payment service provider, Khalti, has completed its 5th anniversary today.
To digitize the daily payments of every Nepali household, Khalti has been making life easier for millions of people daily. But, should we call this 5 years – ‘Five years’ or ‘just 5 years?
For a startup, to complete five years means being successful in establishing themselves in their field and gaining their audiences’ trust. Khalti has also proved this to be true in its 5 year-long journeys.
However, if we look at this from its perspective, being a long journey, Khalti is ‘just’ 5 years old. That means it has a long way to travel to pave the path of digital Nepal. It carries the high possibility of doing so successfully.
Popular among the youth, Khalti is a brand with a unique identity in the Nepali fintech industry. With a marketing team full of young people, Khalti’s way of spreading its message is different from the mainstream.
It has managed to prove it again by releasing a funny video on its anniversary that constitutes memes made by their team members. https://bit.ly/3G2s3qv
It has also created a stir on Twitter by putting a birthday reminder on Twitter a day before their birthday.
In that tweet, other brands like WorldLink, Pathao, and Foodmandu joined in responding in a witty manner.
On this occasion, Mr. Binay Khadka, Chief Executive Officer of Khalti says
“On behalf of the Khalti team, I would like to extend my heartfelt ‘thank you to all those who were directly or indirectly involved in this journey.
In the upcoming days, intending to motivate every age group to use Khalti, we are targeting to bring more services & make ‘Khalti’ simpler and more useful.
