Dilina Gunathilake — CEO
After a 15-year journey in Human Resources, from starting as an intern at Unilever to serving as Associate Vice President of HR at Brandix Digital, I took a leap in 2025 to join my family’s Agri and FMCG business, the Lathpandura Group of Companies. Today, I blend corporate experience with hands-on entrepreneurship, driving transformation from the ground up. My focus is on building sustainable, people-first business practices — nurturing teams, empowering communities, and shaping an organization that grows with purpose.
