25th February 2026, Kathmandu
The insurance landscape in Nepal witnessed a significant professional gathering as the SuryaJyoti Life branch operation meet concluded with immense success in Bharatpur, Chitwan. Under the central theme of Service Excellence and Compliance, the company organized a large scale training and coordination event at Lords CBC Plaza, bringing together approximately 200 branch operation employees from all seven provinces. This gathering comes at a critical time when the Nepal Insurance Authority has intensified its focus on corporate governance and anti money laundering standards. For SuryaJyoti Life, which emerged as a major market force following the successful merger between Surya Life and Jyoti Life, this meet served as a vital platform to synchronize its nationwide operations and reinforce its commitment to world class service standards in the year 2082.

A major highlight of the event was the specialized training on Anti Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML CFT). Padam Prasad Sodari, the Deputy Director of the Nepal Insurance Authority, served as the lead trainer for this segment. In the current regulatory environment, insurance companies are required to maintain strict vigilance over the source of funds and the identity of policyholders to prevent financial crimes. The training provided branch staff with practical tools for risk based assessment and customer due diligence. By ensuring that branch level employees are fully versed in these international compliance standards, SuryaJyoti Life is protecting its institutional integrity while supporting the national effort to maintain a clean and transparent financial ecosystem.
Complementing the technical compliance sessions was a focus on customer centric service delivery. Renowned banking and insurance specialist Manoj Kumar Bhattarai led the sessions on service excellence. He emphasized that in a competitive market like Nepal, the speed and quality of branch level interactions are the primary differentiators for any insurance brand. The training sessions covered operational discipline, the importance of accurate data entry, and the psychological aspects of customer relationship management. The goal was to transform branch operation staff from mere administrative processors into service ambassadors who can effectively communicate the value of life insurance to a diverse clientele across urban and rural Nepal.
The meet also featured high level leadership engagement, providing a rare opportunity for ground level staff to interact directly with the company top brass. CEO Prakash Bikram Khatri addressed the participants, stating that the operational efficiency of the branches is the backbone of the company business expansion. He noted that while sales agents bring in the business, it is the operation staff who ensure that the promises made to the policyholders are kept through efficient policy issuance and timely claim settlements. This leadership vision was further supported by Board Director Hemant Nahata, who made a forward looking statement regarding the company technological path. He revealed that SuryaJyoti Life has already made significant strides in digitalization and is now actively preparing to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into its operational framework to enhance decision making and customer support.

An interactive panel discussion moderated by Chief Support Services Umesh Prasad Mainali allowed for a candid dialogue regarding the practical challenges faced by branch offices. Topics such as regional coordination, software integration issues, and the nuances of handling complex claims were discussed in detail. These sessions are crucial for a post merger entity like SuryaJyoti Life, as they help in identifying and removing any remaining friction between the two legacy systems. By addressing these operational hurdles in a public forum, the company fostered a culture of transparency and collective problem solving, which is essential for maintaining employee morale and institutional agility.
From a strategic investment perspective, SuryaJyoti Life focus on internal alignment and technological readiness makes it a strong contender in the Nepali capital market. The company consistent focus on professionalizing its workforce suggests a long term strategy aimed at sustainable growth rather than short term gains. Investors often look for companies that invest in compliance and technology, as these factors reduce the risk of regulatory penalties and operational failures. As the insurance industry moves toward a more digital future, SuryaJyoti Life preparation for AI driven systems positions it at the forefront of innovation in Nepal. This technological edge is expected to significantly reduce administrative costs and improve the company overall return on equity in the coming fiscal years.
The choice of Bharatpur as the venue for this national meet also underscores the importance of the Chitwan region as a central hub for the insurance and financial services sector. By bringing employees out of the capital and into a central regional location, the company promoted a sense of national unity and facilitated better networking among staff who rarely have the chance to meet their counterparts from other districts. Participants noted that the opportunity to share best practices and learn from the experiences of colleagues in different geographical regions was one of the most valuable aspects of the Bharatpur meet. This cross fertilization of ideas is expected to lead to improved service consistency across the entire SuryaJyoti Life network.
In conclusion, the SuryaJyoti Life branch operation meet in Bharatpur was a comprehensive exercise in institutional strengthening. By combining rigorous AML CFT compliance training with service excellence workshops and a clear digital roadmap, the company has set a high benchmark for operational standards in the Nepali insurance sector. The leadership commitment to AI and digitalization signals an era of modernization that will likely transform how insurance is delivered and perceived in the country. As the branch operation staff return to their respective offices across Nepal, they carry with them a renewed sense of purpose and the technical skills necessary to drive SuryaJyoti Life toward its goal of becoming the most compliant and customer friendly insurer in the year 2082 and beyond.
