Nepal Life’s Raju Bhandari Collects Rs 17.896 Million in Premiums, Earns Triple Samriddhi Medal

July 21st, 2026

Kathmandu — Raju Bhandari, a leading insurance advisor associated with Nepal Life Insurance’s Taplejung branch, has achieved another career milestone after generating Rs 17.896 million in life insurance premiums during the fiscal year 2025/26.

The latest achievement surpasses his own previous record and further strengthens his position as one of the branch’s top-performing advisors. In the previous fiscal year, Bhandari had generated Rs 12.8 million in premiums, making this another year in which he has outperformed his own benchmark. He also secured first place at the Taplejung branch in both the individual agency and team categories.

In recognition of his performance, Nepal Life will honor Bhandari with its Triple Samriddhi Medal, becoming the next milestone in a career that has already earned him the Double Samriddhi Medal. The company is scheduled to present the award during a special ceremony at the Hyatt Hotel in Kathmandu in the first week of Bhadra.

Operating from Nepal Life’s Taplejung branch, Bhandari has played a key role in expanding insurance coverage across the district and protecting local residents against financial risks. Despite working in one of Nepal’s geographically challenging hill districts, he has consistently remained among the branch’s strongest contributors toward achieving annual business targets.

For the fiscal year 2024/25, the Taplejung branch had been assigned a premium collection target of Rs 89.122 million and managed to collect Rs 79.345827 million, achieving about 89 percent of its target. Bhandari was one of the branch’s biggest contributors to that performance.

His success has also extended to his family. By building business under family agency codes, he enabled his 73-year-old father Romanath Sharma, his brother Unique Bhandari, and his sister-in-law Champa Khanal (Bhandari) to qualify for the company’s Samriddhi Medal. Nepal Life had set a qualifying business target of around Rs 5.5 million for the award.

Bhandari has also qualified for the internationally recognized Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) five times. While he has repeatedly met MDRT standards, he says his current priority is expanding his insurance business rather than pursuing additional MDRT qualifications. During FY 2025/26 alone, he sold nearly 150 new life insurance policies.

Born in Bungkulung, Ward No. 9 of the former Hangdewa VDC in Taplejung, Bhandari is the second child of Kamala Bhandari and Romanath Bhandari. He chose to build his career in his home district, joining Nepal Life in April 2017. Within just two years of entering the profession as an insurance agent, he was promoted to the position of Agency Manager.
