Lanka Business TV, in collaboration with Lankadeepa FT, successfully hosted its highly acclaimed “Vyavasayakaya” (The Entrepreneur) Business and Investment Summit in Gampaha, drawing an impressive crowd of over 250 participants, including entrepreneurs and individuals keen to enhance their economic and investment knowledge.
The summit was held at The Glasgow Hotel in Kalagedihena, following a brief postponement due to flood risks in the area. Despite the delay, the strong turnout underscored the growing public interest in entrepreneurship-focused knowledge-sharing platforms, according to Lanka Business TV Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jayantha Kovilagodage.
“The significant participation despite the rescheduling clearly demonstrates the demand for such programmes among the public,” Mr. Kovilagodage said.
The keynote address was delivered by renowned management consultant Mr. Deepal Sooriyaarachchi, who shared strategic insights on entrepreneurship and business growth. The summit also featured expert presentations from a distinguished panel of speakers, including:
-
Mr. Ruwan Perera, Chief Executive Officer, NDB Wealth Management

Mr. Chalinda Abeykoon, Managing Partner, nVentures

Participants were also treated to an interactive experience, with opportunities to win attractive prizes. One fortunate attendee won a round-trip air ticket to Malaysia.
Lanka Business TV announced that it is currently planning four additional “Vyavasayakaya” Business and Investment Summits for 2026, as part of its continued efforts to promote entrepreneurial education across the country.
The “Vyavasayakaya” series has already been successfully conducted in Gampaha, Kurunegala, Matara, Kandy, and Ratnapura, further cementing its reputation as one of Sri Lanka’s leading regional business knowledge platforms.
