Arimac strives to promote and retain the Sri Lankan talent pool to counterattack brain drain and allow local talent by promoting social entrepreneurship to reach the international arena as true Sri Lankans. In line with this vision, the company employs talented individuals ranging from graduates from local and foreign universities such as Stanford University, MIT, University of Moratuwa, University of Colombo, University of Kelaniya and University of Sabaragamuwa to people with lesser education qualifications but highly talented and passionate towards their profession, from both rural and urban areas of Sri Lanka.
