About Me

I LOVE MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND EXPLORING NEW PLACES 🙂🙏🏼

I AM A CORPORATE TRAINER AND BUSINESS CONSULTANT. I SPECIALIZE IN SMALL AND MEDIUM SCALE BUSINESS AND STARTUPS.

ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiastic traveler and a passionate Marketing professional with a bit of extra disposable energy!!!

I was always the misfit in school, caught for bunking subjects and playing football or cricket. I have always been an outdoors person and never found my self fitting into the traditional corporate.

Advertising seems to have helped me explore my potential better. As a brand planner my life revolves around understanding people and behaviour.

I am a dreamer, a thinker and enthusiast in whatever I do, I believe that loving what you do is the key to success in anything: work, education, sports or even relationships.

I believe that being passionate in what you do is the way to move forward!

MY PASSION FOR TRAVEL UNFOLDED as a National Award Winning "Social Enterprise - Travel Startup" Which focuses on Youth Entrepreneurship in tourism currently concerning the 7 most Tourist dense regions of Sri Lanka.

IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN MEETING KINDLY INFORM ME AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR - WE CAN MEET IN COLOMBO 05 or 07

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is life! My philosophies are hidden behind the madness in Mee... I might open up about it to the right people though (because not everyone really get it)

"Be humble. Coz as people, we may stumble"
