Today, I’m on a mission to share the beauty of tea with the world through two unique ventures. First, ‘Ceylon Tea Story’ is dedicated to crafting artisan, handmade tea in the heart of Sri Lanka, while ‘Yuga’ celebrates the diverse tapestry of teas from around the globe.Creating Shared Value:In every business endeavor, I embrace the concept of “Creating Shared Value”. It’s not just about tea; it’s about fostering meaningful connections with communities, promoting sustainability and ensuring a positive impact on the world. This philosophy is the heartbeat of both my ventures. Educational Background: My academic journey, which weaves through the realms of business, entrepreneurship, marketing and sustainability, has been instrumental in shaping my entrepreneurial spirit. It was during my Master’s program at UNSW, that I first embraced the concept of “creating shared value”, and it has remained a guiding principle in all my endeavors ever since.Passion for Research:Beyond the cup, my love for exploring tea extends to a keen passion for research. I’m dedicated to unraveling sustainable solutions in the Ceylon Tea Industry, contributing to the growth and well-being of this amazing industry.
