Today, Cool Planet’s growth and position in the industry brings me great joy as we strive to reach further.

Starting off with an intention to create a children’s toy store bringing a new dimension to the retail market in Sri Lanka,
I started planning out the creation of Cool Planet. I later infused my idea to a larger more ambitious goal of making it to an all-inclusive department store. I then embellished the idea and with our first team of 17 employees we set off on our journey.

Today, Cool Planet’s growth and position in the industry brings me great joy as we strive to reach further. I revel in observing my team display their innovative and creative
approach to the business and this drive supports me to continuously grow my vision for the company.

I have driven the need of maintaining positive relationships to the team at all times, we must maintain the best of relationships with all stakeholders to be able to extract the best out of everyone.

I am proud of where Cool Planet stands now in the customer’s perception, we are one of the preferred department stores in the country. This has encouraged me to set my aims even higher to expand our organization to global scales.
