Colleagues describe him as "I had the privilege of working with Ravi for a number of years, mainly in the employee/industrial relations capacity. Ravi and I worked through some very difficult and trying situations together and I have high regard for his knowledge, maturity and influencing abilities. He has a rare ability to bring together the company's interest and that of the employees/trade union. He is a leader, with the ability to adapt to varying circumstances and situations." and "Ravi worked for me as Head of HR Sri Lanka and Maldives from 2008-2011 during my tenure as CEO Sri Lanka and Maldives. During that time, he proved to be a resourceful and pragmatic HR manager. He approached all issues in a no nonsense manner and was never afraid to suggest solutions to problems, rather than just outlining the problem! He never shirked from difficult people related issues, and always approached them in a compassionate manner, whilst keeping the firm’s bottom line in mind. During his stint he was asked to go on a temporary assignment to HSBC Australia as Head of HR for 2 months. He did this without hesitation and was plunged into a completely different developed marketplace from what he was used to. He achieved all the goals set for him and was formally praised by the CEO Australia for the work he accomplished. Ravi’s major strength was the impartial advice he gave to me on HR and other issues. He was never afraid to express his views and never took the politically expedient route, but the one that was in the best interest of the company. He was recognized among his peers as being the pre-eminent HR professional in Sri Lanka."
