Three Women Top IME Life Insurance’s Business Chart with Transactions Worth Millions
Kathmandu — In a significant achievement that reflects the growing leadership of women in Nepal’s insurance sector, three female agents of IME Life Insurance Company have topped the company’s business chart for the fiscal year 2081/82. Laxmi Ghimire of Gaidakot, along with Kathmandu-based agents Gelmu Lama and Sushma Regmi, have emerged as the highest-performing agents, collectively conducting life insurance business worth several crores through their personal codes.
Laxmi Ghimire (Pandey) of Gaidakot secured the top position nationwide, becoming Nepal’s top agent by selling 29 policies and conducting business worth Rs. 13.8 million under her personal code. She has been named Nepal’s Top Agent within the company and has been recognized under the Everest Club for achieving the prestigious MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table) qualification for 2026.
Securing the second position is Gelmu Lama of the Maharajgunj branch, Kathmandu, who conducted transactions worth Rs. 11.34 million through 32 policies. Lama, who also manages her own business in New Road, has contributed significantly to insuring citizens in the Kathmandu Valley and has earned her place in both the Everest Club and MDRT 2026 list.
Close behind, Sushma Regmi, also from the Maharajgunj branch, ranked third with a personal business of Rs. 9.01 million. Regmi sold 51 policies in Kathmandu and surrounding areas, focusing on assessing the economic and social circumstances of each client to offer tailored insurance solutions.
This year’s results have highlighted the strength and determination of female agents in a field often perceived as more accessible to men in Nepali society. While life insurance is often considered a challenging domain for women in Nepal, IME Life has seen its female agents showcasing their outstanding performance. Despite their dual responsibilities at home and work, these women have outperformed thousands of agents nationwide.
IME Life Insurance Company credits the achievements to the agents’ consistent efforts, time management, and the support structure built through the company’s regular capacity-building and training programs. The company announced that it is planning a grand event to recognize and celebrate these agents’ achievements, as part of its broader commitment to motivating and empowering its workforce.
