View(s):
The Future Marketers Association of the Department of Marketing Management, University of Kelaniya, held its flagship knowledge-sharing initiative Great Minds | EntreTalks on 12th September 2025 at the Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies Auditorium, powered by Dialog Finance.
The event served as a dynamic platform that brought together the academic and industry communities, creating space for critical discussion, shared learning, and inspired action in the field of entrepreneurship.
The panel discussion brought together some of Sri Lanka’s most dynamic business leaders including Dr. Lasantha Malavige (Chairman, Lassana Group), Mr. Amjad Hameed (CEO, Signature Clothing), Mr. Dhanushka Fernando (Founder & CEO, FCV Group of Companies & Inmarc Incorporation), Ms. Raffealla Fernando (Creative Director, Idea Bloom), and Mr. Arshard Ilyas (Founder & CEO, F.O.A Clothing). Their contributions underscored critical themes emphasising adaptability in volatile markets, the importance of sustainable business models, strategies for global brand building, and the resilience required to overcome entrepreneurial challenges.
The initiative attracted a broad audience comprising undergraduates, students from leading schools, and entrepreneurs from the SME sector, while its online broadcast expanded the reach beyond the university, positioning the event as a national forum for entrepreneurial dialogue.
By curating such platforms, the Future Marketers Association continues to move beyond classroom learning, not only enriching the academic journey of its undergraduates but also serving the broader public. Through knowledge-sharing and mentorship, the Association fosters a culture of entrepreneurship, empowering Sri Lanka’s youth and business community to build resilient and future-ready enterprises.
