What I do

Four areas. All interconnected. All built on doing the work, not talking about it.

🚀

Venture Building

I've founded and scaled multiple companies from zero. I know how to find the gap, build fast, and make it work at scale. Currently building under Imnisar Group across EdTech and AI.

📈

Growth Marketing

From digital strategy to performance marketing — I've driven real growth across multiple verticals. I don't just run campaigns. I build the engine that makes them compound.

⚙️

Operations & Systems

I build the systems that let companies scale without chaos. SOPs, automation, KPI frameworks, team structures. I've done this across 5+ companies — and for Elara Ventures' portfolio.

🌍

Tech Recruitment

As Co-Founder & COO of Talent Global, I help scaling tech companies hire top-tier remote talent globally. Fast pipelines. Quality placements. Systems that don't break under pressure.

Automation-first

Most of my business runs while I sleep. If a process happens more than twice, it gets automated.

I build automation workflows across all my businesses — from lead generation and client onboarding to content pipelines and internal ops. AI agents handle the repetitive work so I can focus on what actually needs a human. It's not a side interest. It's how I operate.

🤖

AI Agents

Autonomous agents that research, draft, respond, and decide — handling tasks across sales, ops, and content without manual input.

⚡

Workflow Automation

End-to-end business processes built on n8n, Make, and Zapier. Triggers, logic, integrations — wired together so nothing falls through the cracks.

🔗

Systems Integration

CRMs, email, payments, dashboards, comms — all talking to each other. No copy-pasting. No manual syncing. Just clean data flow across the stack.

What I've built

Every company started with a real gap. Here's the full picture.

The actual story

I started at 13 with eBay dropshipping. That sentence tells you everything.

I got 10 A's at A Levels and was pointed toward medicine. Got in. Showed up. Knew immediately it wasn't right. Made the call to switch — to Material Sciences at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. Still there. Final year now.

While studying, I watched medical students around me struggling to prepare for licensing exams. So I built MCQMed — a question bank platform. One month after launch, 80% of Sri Lanka's medical students were on it. I exited. Then I built the next thing.

Then Tyrion Academy. Then Jade Academy. Then Talent Global. Then BuildrLabs. All while researching in university labs, getting a paper published in Springer, filing patents, doing a Stanford GSB programme, graduating Founder Institute, being selected for UNCTAD's eTrade for Women — and ending up on the cover of Happinez magazine.

I'm not telling you this to impress you. I'm telling you this so you understand: I work. I build. I get things done. Whatever I'm working on next — same energy.
