Apart from the core business, JIT Group also believes that its long-term value creation is derived through the sustainable development of the communities they operate within and its environment.

For example JIT sponsored the development of a room as an initiative to support the ‘Suwa Arana’ project, a Place for Healing at the Paediatric Palliative Care Centre, at the Indira Trust Cancer Hospital early this year.

Aid and support were also provided to communities less privileged due to unfortunate circumstances, such as the Menhandy School for the Exceptional Child where JIT supported the upgrade of sanitation facilities, educational sponsorship of a well-deserving child affected by a disability and establishment of 20 reading rooms in orphanages and under privileged schools in rural areas working to create a better future every day for our younger generation.

I have had the opportunity to work for an entity that cares and truly nurtures their employees to grow as a person and in their career while providing equal opportunities regardless of gender and race, where all personnel are recognised solely on their performance and merit. Today, I have been given the responsibility to operate a company under my leadership where I’m determined to pass on my learnings and empower my team to someday be able to lead wherever they may choose to be”
