Mr. Palapathwala is a Chartered Engineer by profession and has 25 years professional experience in technology consultancy, management and higher education in the Middle East, Asia Pacific and South Asia. According to Mr. Palapathwala, “ I am a firm believer of the Fourth Industrial Revolution which is already reshaping and re-defining education in a way that mankind has never seen before. Based on my international experience and local knowledge, I think Sri Lanka and its education system is not prepared to derive the benefits of the next digital revolution and we will probably have to face negative impacts because of our lapses. In order to face this challenge and develop our young professionals to proactively embrace the industry 4.0, we have founded MEASA Institute of Technology (MIT) a unique type of academic institute”

The vision of MIT is to facilitate the Sri Lankan society to embrace the next digital revolution proactively by acquiring relevant skills and expertise. MIT nurtures on the core values integrity, transparency, ethical learning and internationalism. The Institute is lead by a group of internationally qualified multi-disciplinary professionals under the guidance of a global board of governance. According to Mr. Palapathwala, MIT’s services include international academic consultancy, ERP solutions, language proficiency tests, industrial training on 4.0 technologies such as 3-D Printing and executive educational programmes. As a part of this journey, MIT currently invites qualified Sri Lankan students and young professionals to pursue their higher studies in globally renowned Universities in Germany.
Mr. Palapathwala, emphasized “Germany is the birthplace of Industry 4.0 and German government, companies and Universities are driving the global trends of the 4th industrial revolution. Many German Universities have introduced brand new programmes both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels to cater to these new educational demands. Studying such programmes is an ideal way to train Sri Lankan professionals to face the challenges of the next digital revolution.”
Further Mr. Palapathwala, believes there are several other reasons as to why Sri Lankans should consider Germany as their international higher education destination. German Universities are globally renowned and some are ranked among world top universities. The programmes of study offered are structured in a manner which places more emphasis on research. Further there are several programmes that are conducted in the English Language. German University Degrees are highly demanded by employers around the world. Most universities in Germany are funded by the government thus even foreign students are only expected to pay either no or nominal tuition fees. The cost of living for students in Germany is affordable and lower than many comparable countries. In addition, various generous scholarships are offered by DAAD, ERUMUS and other schemes for highly qualified candidates. Since Germany is a member of Schengen Agreement, international students can travel to 26 countries in Europe while studying in Germany. Students are entitled to work while studying and in addition, upon successful completion of their studies, international students are permitted to seek employment for 1 and ½ years. Students can study in a peaceful environment while enjoying the scenic beauty and rich culture of Germany.
