Rotarian and businesswoman Gowri Rajan from Kandy was selected for the coveted International Leadership award by the World Bank entity IFC partnered Women In Management ‘Top 50 Professional and Career Women Awards 2017′ at Taj Samudra Hotel recently. She received her award from the chief guest World Bank Country Director – Sri Lanka and Maldives Idah Pswarayi-Riddihough in the presence of members of Parliament, Leader of the Opposition, R. Sampathan and members of the diplomatic community.

The award comes in the backdrop of Ms Rajan being selected as one of the Top 150 Rotarians of the movement’s 1.2 million global membership. It was the first time a Sri Lankan woman had received the ‘ Service above self’ award from Rotary International.  ”Serving people is not about the recognition that one gets. I was surprised but I will not take it as a personal win as in Rotary or at the work place all the projects we do are team driven and supported by many people. The award belongs to the people I work with,” she said.

Hailing from a respected business family in the hill country which owns the market leader Soorya brand, Ms Rajan is Executive Director at Sunmatch Company.
