Sales Convention. 

Having joined the company in 1995, Ajith has steadily built a business of providing quality advice and financial planning for close to 1500 customers over the years. He has contributed in excess of Rs. 1 billion in Gross Written Premium for the company and was the first Country Chair of the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) Sri Lanka. 

During his stellar 24-year career, Ajith has won a plethora of awards and recognitions, including ‘The Best Sales Person Award’ for 10 consecutive years, was the first Sri Lankan to win an International Quality Award (IQA) from the Life Insurance Market Research Association (LIMRA) with IQA recognitions thereafter for 18 years running and was also the first Sri Lankan to achieve MDRT Life Membership.

In 2015 he received the ‘piece de resistance’ of MDRT achievements with the Honour Roll, marking 15 years of MDRT membership. He was the first Sri Lankan to receive this pinnacle of prestigious international recognition. 

He was also the only Wealth Planner to qualify for the AIA President’s Club for seven years consecutively, since its introduction in 2012. These are just some of the long list of global and local achievements that has made him a shining star among professional insurance advisors at AIA and the Sri Lankan insurance industry.

AIA Group has maintained its place as the world’s #1 in MDRT representation and AIA Sri Lanka too, has topped MDRT membership for four years straight. MDRT is internationally recognised as the standard of excellence in the life insurance and financial services business. Its members are required to generate a certain high level of premium and demonstrate exceptional professional knowledge, strict ethical conduct and exceptional client service.  Ajith’s track record is therefore a fitting acknowledgement of his relentless commitment and high level of professionalism and has proved to be a true asset to the company as well as the customers he serves.
