Kiddies & Toys International (Pvt.) Ltd (KTI), a subsidiary of LIMRA Holdings, is celebrating its 20th anniversary by acknowledging the vital role that families play in its success.
The entire KTI staff and their families were treated to two days of celebration and fun at The Blue Water Hotel - Wadduwa.
KTI is a people-centric organisation that values the special moments and successes of each team member and their families. The company sends birthday greetings to children and spouses making them feel special and valued. Additionally, KTI seeks spouses’ views on certain corporate matters and decisions that affect the family unit. This not only shows that KTI cares about its employees’ families but it also helps to create a sense of belonging and inclusivity.


Reflecting on the milestone, LIMRA Holdings Chairman Nabhan Akeel stated, “As I reflect on our 20-year journey, I feel a deep sense of pride in the fact that we remain closely linked with some of the world’s most renowned brands in the baby, mother care and toy sectors. Despite humble beginnings, we have grown into a medium-scale, value-driven organisation with a global footprint and a diverse range of products. This journey has been one of perseverance, hard work and commitment to excellence and we look forward to continuing to innovate and meet the evolving needs of our customers and partners.”


KTI CEO Ajantha Wickramarathne commented, “At KTI, family bonds are a vital facet of our team culture. We view our team as a big family and we understand that engaging with each team member’s family back at home is vital to their wellbeing and success at work. This support and encouragement from family members translate into high performance and success for our organisation. That’s why we organised this celebration to create a memorable event where all family members could come together, strengthen bonds and forge lasting friendships. We believe that by nurturing strong family relationships, we can build a more inclusive, supportive and joyful workplace culture that benefits everyone.”
