Anjum Cader, MD/CEO of Optima Designs shared her thoughts on this novel project. “We have always wanted to do something different with every report that we produce and when it comes to this client, we pull out all the stops since they are always open to new and exciting ideas. After a lot of research, the team came up with the idea to make the report highly interactive where the story literally leaps off the page. You have to see it to believe it”. 

Dilukshi Fernando, Creative Director heading the creative team shed light on the action behind the scenes. “We have never done something like this before, and in fact, it is a first for Sri Lanka.
