Rakhita Gunasekera
Oshan was part of my team at the time I was overlooking the new expansions for the group, and he was entrusted with the task to look at opportunity within the emerging markets in Asia. The degree of work ethics and integrity I observed in Oshan’s conduct are commendable and these would definitely be the kind of qualities sort after by any employer. Further his ability to adopt and find opportunities or solutions within an unstructured setup was a unique characteristic that I experienced, and this was very much evident by the power related projects that he successfully completed during his overseas stint. I wish Oshan all the very best

I was fortunate enough to work closely with Oshan during my tenure at Diesel & Motor Engineering (DIMO) in the new business development team. His expertise in Electrical Engineering and most importantly project management skills helped DIMO to complete multi million dollar projects in Myanmar effectively. He was an important part of our team and everyone could rely upon his ability to complete given tasks successfully and Oshan is brilliant in managing stakeholders effectively. I am extremely thankful to Oshan for all the support given and being a great friend. I would highly recommend Oshan and his expertise !
