Nepal’s leading digital wallet reached a milestone of 10 million (1 crore) downloads on Google’s Play Store on Thursday, August 15, 2024. The historical stats make the mobile payment platform only a few on Nepal’s 10 million download list.
With this, eSewa has become Nepal’s first digital wallet app to reach the privileged download count on the Android platform. Do remember that Hamro Patro, a leading multi-purpose app has already surpassed this milestone but it’s originally a calendar app. Daraz, in the meantime, has over 100 million downloads.
The company announced the historical figures via Facebook. “Journey of trust and innovation now 1 crore strong!” wrote eSewa on its Facebook handle, “We have reached more than 1 Cr+ Downloads in Play Store. Thank you each one of you for this love and support.”
ESewa’s journey won’t stop at 1 crore and we won’t let it either,” the company’s chief executive officer (CEO) Jagdish Khadka declared. “By innovating and bringing new things, I am sure that even new users will download and make it a start,” he added.

According to Play Store details, eSewa first arrived on the platform on December 31, 2012. The app requires Android 5.0 and above OS to run on Android smartphones.
As a diverse payment gateway, the app provides fund transfers, internet, drinking water, electricity, and other utility bill payments, government service fee payments, bus and flight booking, etc.
No doubt, eSewa has played a crucial role in Nepal’s digital transformation by bringing seamless and convenient mobile payment facilities to over 8 million users.
