Mr. Harmeet Singh Sethi, Chief Executive Officer, PayG
Harmeet brings more than 25 years of leadership experience spanning technology, financial services, and global markets. His career includes high-impact roles across India, North America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, where he has led digital transformation, fintech expansion, and enterprise sales initiatives. Over his career, he has helmed transformative initiatives across fintech, digital payments, cross borders payment and financial infrastructure, cultivating strong regulatory-compliant operations and delivering scalable solutions.
In his new role at PayG, Harmeet will lead strategic vision and execution across product innovation, regulatory landscape alignment, and stakeholder engagement. His top priority will be enabling seamless digital transactions that are accessible, secure, and efficient especially for merchants in semi-urban and rural India. A key focus will be on enhancing PayG’s mobileâ’first, lowâ’bandwidthâ’optimized payment solutions (QR codes, SMS links, app-based virtual POS) without requiring costly hardware.
In alignment with the Digital India vision, Harmeet will also focus on onboarding small traders and micro-entrepreneurs onto the PayG mobile app and collaborating with ONDC to enable broader digital commerce access for local businesses across the country.
“I am thrilled to join PayG at such a pivotal stage,”Mr. Harmeet said. “As digital transactions are surging across India, and customer expectations are evolving rapidly. My goal is to reinforce PayG’s techâ’driven foundation while ensuring data security, compliance, and operational resilience. Together with the PayG team, we will continue innovating to stay ahead of customer needs and market trends.”
PayG Chairman Kamal Manohar Jangeti welcomed Harmeet to his new role and said, “Harmeet brings deep fintech expertise and a proven global track record in building customerâ’centric and technologyâ’led platforms. Under his leadership, PayG is well positioned to drive R&D, expand product reach, and deliver sustained growth across diverse markets.”
In May 2025, PayG received its official Reserve Bank of India Payment Aggregator license, empowering the company to offer fully compliant, secure, and scalable financial services. This milestone amplifies PayG’s capability to deepen its fintech ecosystem presence and broaden its product offerings.
With Harmeet steering the helm, PayG plans to accelerate product innovation, strengthen regulatory compliance, expand merchant adoption, and extend depth of service especially into tier II/III cities and rural districts.
