2020, as complicated as it can get with the COVID-19 pandemic, is a significant year for us as we conclude a great journey of 90 years. We now embark on to the next phase accepting the challenges of the future, with a new identity as CMG, Capital Maharaja Group.
We will be operating on the same blueprint that has been handed down through generations. But we have to navigate through times like the company has always done.
The next ten years are crucial to us as we will be reaching our century; 100 years.
In 2030, I will give you a similar interview, the interview of the century. I’m sure we will have a lot to talk about.
BUSINESS TODAY TOP 30 2018-2019
I am really enjoying my tenure at SLT. I consider it as a challenge. I learn about the telecommunication industry every day, which is a learning curve for me. I enjoy working with many people because I am a people person. It is a great opportunity that I have received, thanks to His Excellency the President. I am enjoying every minute I work here. It is a pleasure and I work with passion.
Therefore, it is our responsibility to make use of the opportunities provided and take the country forward. I am very positive. We need to do the best for our country. Of course we must thank the Armed Forces, other Officials, Ministry of Health and Medical professionals who have been committed to the control of COVID-19, where Sri Lanka has controlled the situation, compared to the rest of the world. It is because of the visionary leader and the rest of the team. We need to ensure that we reach six to 6.5 percent economic growth in the next one or two years and the rest will follow.
Globally, IFS has a vision to reach a certain size in terms of revenue by next year continuing to be the leader and most preferred choice for Enterprise systems. In working towards that, we have certain go-to market strategies, such as Partner first, Cloud and Subscription first, Focus industries, and three core solutions. We set this vision at the beginning of 2019 and we are on track to reach this through organic growth. Even through the pandemic, IFS op- erations globally has shown impressive resilience and results and is recognized as the fastest growing company of scale.
During your life as you earn a living, it is essential to also help others. It gives you a satisfaction than money could ever do. I am happy that on my 70th birthday I decided to stop being engaged in the business and decided to dedicate my life to social work. While I always ensured that I helped others during my entire life while doing business as well, I am able to use more of my time and energy to help those who are in need. It is a blessing to help others. I advice the younger generation to also think in this way.
