Kapil Kumar Dahal Appointed as CEO of Himalayan Life Insurance Limited

Himalayan Life Insurance Limited has appointed Kapil Kumar Dahal as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The decision was made during the company’s Board of Directors meeting held on Wednesday.

Former CEO Manoj Lal Karn resigned from the company on Ashoj 28, following protests by agents and employees demanding his resignation and leadership change. After Karn’s departure, the company had appointed Deputy CEO (DCEO) Kapil Kumar Dahal as the acting CEO.

Now, Dahal has been formally promoted to CEO by the board’s unanimous decision.

A Chartered Accountant by profession, Dahal possesses over 15 years of experience in the insurance and financial sector. He completed his Chartered Accountancy from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), Chennai, in 2009.

Before the merger, Dahal served as the Deputy CEO at Union Life Insurance. Following the merger of Union Life, Gurans Life, and Prime Life Insurance, which formed the current Himalayan Life Insurance, Dahal continued in the role of Deputy CEO.
