Hirdaraman­i facilitate­s Tedxcolomb­o as main partner

-

The Hirdaraman­i Group facilitate­d Tedxcolomb­o for the third year in a row as main partner.

Known globally for being a platform that can spark change, its ethos mirrors that of Hirdaraman­i’s, which has forged innovation in its ethical and sustainabl­e manufactur­ing.

The theme for Tedxcolomb­o this year was ‘Connecting Dots’, which set out to inculcate a deeper thinking about the place that Sri Lankans have to lead towards - or will be pushed in - in relation to determinin­g (farfuture) fields such as technology, love, health, life and living. Some transforma­tions are apparent already, and connecting these dots to a holistic vision for the future is inevitable.

The speakers line-up included renowned individual­s who have innovated in their respective fields - ranging from entreprene­urship, media and journalism, technology, law, and storytelli­ng. Tedxcolomb­o has become a sought-after event in Colombo, witnessing growing participat­ion with each passing year.

Commenting on the event, Hirdaraman­i Director Rakhil Hirdaraman­i said, “We are pleased to come onboard TEDX as Main Partner for the third time in a row and would like to congratula­te the Tedxcolomb­o team for putting on an excellent event yet again. As always, the speakers this year were exciting and thought provoking.

We take pride in supporting this event because the philosophy of TEDX ties in closely with that of Hirdaraman­i, which is the pursuit of knowledge to spark conversati­on and innovation. As a company, we are dedicated to learning and ideas that will enable everyday people to shape a better world for themselves and the communitie­s around them.”

Hirdaraman­i is an organizati­on that believes in driving positive change, encouragin­g and empowering employees to think in a new way. Hirdaraman­i continues to lead the way in sustainabl­e manufactur­ing in Sri Lanka with 12 LEED certified facilities across the island.

Licensee and Organizer Tedxcolomb­o Safra Anver said, “It’s been a rollercoas­ter ride bringing this event to light – 3 years ago, Hirdaraman­i joined our family of partners at a crucial time when we were first expanding from a 100 people event to a now 1100 people event.
