“I was recommended and stated as a nominee by a friend/colleague from Nepal,” Hettiaratchi specified. Hettiaratchi has been in the advertising field since 1991, over 30 years. He believes that his experience and knowledge gathered across the south Asian markets and various verticals of advertising, would have been the reason why he was elected for a significant role in this competition.

When asked: “What would you like to convey to the youngsters of the world?” Hettiaratchi stated: “Nothing comes easily, everything comes with hard work, most importantly, you should know how to work with others, understand their mind sets.

Working with people to ensure common goals are achieved!”
