Priyantha Perera Mahahewage

One of the most talented and job oriented person I had ever met. What I liked most was his ability of showing calmness and assurance amidst challenges and dead lines. He never showed the danger area to us. But he handled them with his way. It's true professionalism. I always admire him. I used to tell my staff BE LIKE WARUNA. I always wanted him to shine. He is a jewel. Who ever happen to get service will be the most luckiest of all. Ok

Ahmed A.

As his colleague, I was always in awe of how Waruna consistently kept everyone on the same page, avoiding any major conflict and enabling us to focus on our deliverables.
