Bio

I have a long-standing interest in entrepreneurship, especially in applying emerging technologies to identify the gaps and provide an innovative solution in conventional businesses. My interest in entrepreneurship and startups has been fueled by a desire to emerge as one of the most competent Techno-Preneurs in the market. In order to prepare me as a Techno-Preneur, I obtained my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering at Queen Mary, University of London. The versatility and opportunities for innovation in the business world quickly captured my attention when I started my first job as an R&D Engineer at one of the largest manufacturing companies in Sri Lanka. So my next step is to create a new strategic Business Unit (Orel IT) to provide outsourcing services to Mobileye (Part of Intel Corp), an Israel-based R&D Company, which expanded aggressively in the next two years. Today, it is one of the largest IT outsourcing firms in the country with over 4500 staff. Following the success of Orel IT, I moved on to found a LED light manufacturing start-up, which I operated for a year. I went on to spend the next 3.5 years working for a construction company, where I played various roles, including in Sales, leading the design team as well as strategizing the entire construction process. In June 2017, I stepped down and founded AGMU, a Virtual Reality start-up for the Real Estate industry and the Architecture industry.
