As part of the momentum created by Achievers’ Night 2025, 31 outstanding team members were selected for a four-day immersive learning experience in Thailand, in recognition of their exceptional performance and dedication.
This international tour underscores SDF’s deep-rooted belief in empowering people through not just rewards, but meaningful exposure and leadership development.
The initiative aims to broaden horizons, inspire fresh thinking, and cultivate excellence by allowing participants to observe global business environments, foster team camaraderie, and return with valuable insights that can be applied across the organization.
Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Nilantha Jayanetti, Chief Executive Officer of Sarvodaya Development Finance, stated:
“Recognition must go beyond a moment it must become a catalyst.
This learning journey to Thailand is part of our long-term commitment to nurturing well-rounded, globally aware professionals who carry both the values and vision of Sarvodaya forward.
We are proud to celebrate performance through opportunities that uplift and transform.”
For many team members, the experience became more than just a professional milestone — it was a deeply affirming gesture that reflected the company’s genuine investment in their growth.
The tour created space for motivation, learning, and strengthened bonds within the team, reinforcing a sense of belonging and shared purpose.
It demonstrated that recognition at SDF is not symbolic, but a tangible, values-driven commitment to developing talent in ways that inspire long-term loyalty and leadership.
The group engaged in a series of curated learning experiences that blended cultural immersion with professional growth, reinforcing SDF’s belief that inspired people deliver inspired service particularly in Sri Lanka’s rural and underserved markets.
Through this initiative, Sarvodaya Development Finance continues to affirm its position as a values-based financial institution that prioritizes human potential, leadership growth, and sustainable impact at every level.
