TEDx Colombo 2018 explored the theme of collaborative ‘community’ needed to create an exciting future for Sri Lanka. This year’s theme was particularly interesting as it related to the Group’s core sustainability in business strategy and complements the work we do with various communities around Sri Lanka. More and more we see that the future is about collaboration and not isolationism if we are to successfully surmount emerging challenges,” commented Siddarth Hirdaramani - Director, Hirdaramani Group.
