In a strategic leadership move, PayG, India’s fast-emerging digital payment gateway, has appointed Harmeet Singh Sethi as its new Chief Executive Officer. The announcement comes on the heels of PayG securing its official Payment Aggregator license from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)—a key milestone that signals its readiness to scale nationwide.
With over 25 years of leadership experience across India, North America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, Harmeet brings a global fintech perspective to the homegrown platform.
A Vision to Empower Bharat with Seamless Digital Payments
PayG is best known for its mobile-first, low-bandwidth-friendly payment solutions—like QR code payments, SMS links, and app-based virtual POS systems. These innovations aim to support merchants in semi-urban and rural India, eliminating the need for expensive hardware and complex integrations.
In his new role, Harmeet will drive:
- Product innovation & R&D
- Regulatory compliance & data security
- Merchant onboarding in underserved markets
- Collaboration with ONDC to empower local commerce
Leadership with a Mission
Welcoming Harmeet, PayG Chairman Kamal Manohar Jangeti said:
“Harmeet brings deep fintech expertise and a global track record. Under his leadership, PayG is poised to expand our product reach, build inclusive solutions, and grow sustainably across diverse markets.” On his appointment, Harmeet Singh Sethi remarked: “India is witnessing a digital payment revolution.
My focus will be on strengthening PayG’s tech foundation while building secure, accessible, and scalable solutions for every Indian—especially small traders and micro-entrepreneurs.”
Why This Matters
India’s fintech market is booming, with digital transactions growing at record pace. Yet, millions of micro-businesses still face challenges in going digital. PayG, under new leadership, aims to bridge this digital divide by offering smart, affordable, and scalable solutions built for Bharat.
