Head of Live Commerce Sri Lanka

Dialog Axiata PLC

The next step in evolution for a startup that envisioned becoming a sports media brand in the country became a reality. I was fortunate to shape the next steps of the journey under the new direction of Dialog Axiata, under the Axiata Group, Malaysia, as Product Manager, heavily involved in building the right product and strategizing the journey. 

In this pursuit, the first few years were built around trying and testing what worked well and taking steps in further developing the business division to optimize our reach on the roadmap to become the country's premier brand. 

-Growing the business domain from a $100,000 business model to scale up 10X in 3 years with multiple disciplines integrated within the model, setting the platform for revenue generation

Finally, piloting the next step in the business roadmap to monetize Live Content produced, with product development in introducing a pay-per-view system that integrates with OTT platforms to drive revenue.

Product Manager - Online Sports Content

After graduating from my role as a part-time journalist, the opportunity arrived with ThePapare.com being acquired by Dialog Axiata as a digital product due to its disruptive and innovative nature to expand and grow to be a top-tier media brand in the country. 

My role as a Journalist/ Lead involved taking the first steps towards acquiring market share, which was once held by mainstream news brands whose priority did not lie in sports. 

-Growing the business domain in the first years, acquiring reporting and live content producing on a large scale, penetrating mass markets 

-Widening our distribution platforms with the advent of digital and social channels to deliver effective and impactful content to cater to a four million+ audience

-Developing sports reporting domains towards live streaming and live content production to bring top-tier sports leagues

Journalist

ThePapare.com

Taking on an unconventional start, at 15 years, I was responsible for building regional reporting for sports and digital content for ThePapare.com, a startup-oriented media agency on local sports. ThePapare was a startup that saw a space in the local media industry to cater to enthusiastic sports fans whose only space to follow sports was the quarter page of local daily newspapers.

Freelance Journalist

I live by the quote, "A jack of all trades is often better than a master of one." (the complete quote) - nobody was hurt by having too many skills. 

Since being a freelance journalist at 15, I have always looked at things differently from the rest and carved out my path. This helped me understand my true potential and bring out my true self in what I do. 

In my 6+ years in Media, Advertising, Marketing, and Communications, I've had the fortune of doing what I love and telling the world what I feel – wearing the different hats of a Content Creator, Digital Marketer, Copywriter, Campaign Manager, and Communications Manager.

I've had the fortune of working with Global Conglomerates locally, SMEs, Startups, and personality figures worldwide who trust me with their assignments. 

I've switched gears to take on a fresh challenge, in the world of eCommerce, as an eCommerce manager & lead one of the world's largest eCommerce giants, putting on new hats as a Project Manager, Merchandiser, and Live Commerce Lead, looking to disrupt the eCommerce space. 

Beyond the professional routine, you'll ideally find me in front of a screen, watching sport, or outside trying to hit my step count.
