Recognised as one of the leading events in the country’s business event calendar, the CIMA - Janashakthi Pinnacle Awards celebrate business excellence, leadership, management and teamwork at the highest standards. They also reward excellence in professionalism among the cream of Sri Lanka’s business community, CIMA said.

Commenting on the awards programme, Shanthikumar Sadanandan, President, CIMA Sri Lanka Division, said, “To reach the pinnacle in any sphere, it takes talent, skills and experience. But also, it often takes something extra… a drive, ambition or determination that marks out true leaders and that leads to real achievement. The CIMA - Janashakthi Pinnacle Awards were established to recognise and celebrate just this kind of accomplishment. I would like to encourage all CIMA members and students to participate in the awards. They were conceived to celebrate their achievements and could not have existed without their successes, to reward.”

Prakash Schaffter, Managing Director of Janashakthi Insurance Co. Ltd, which was recently adjudged the Best Service Brand of the country said, “We are extremely happy to be associated with CIMA Sri Lanka and the Pinnacle Awards, which are now considered to be one of the prime events in the Sri Lankan annual business calendar, for the fourth consecutive year. They recognise record breaking achievements in the business sector. Excellence and professionalism are two core values instilled deep in the culture at Janashakthi Insurance which has a track record of breaking records in the insurance sector. Supporting the Pinnacle Awards demonstrates our commitment to supporting this attribute in local businesses. It also reinforces our commitment to encouraging professionalism and entrepreneurship in business and in all other spheres of life.”
