Sri Lanka’s largest private sector higher education network, ESOFT Metro Campus, demonstrated its commitment to inclusive education, treating its MBA students to a special engagement session with eminent business leader Kishu Gomes. 

Students of ESOFT’s 2018 Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program, one the most highly-rated MBA programs in the island, were presented this unique opportunity at its facility in Colombo, as part of its specialised curriculum where students are provided the opportunity to engage with renowned entrepreneurs, management specialists and personalities for a holistic learning opportunity.

Employing his unique individual style of presentation, Kishu Gomes underscored the need to fully comprehend the challenges in the operating environment before students and managers are able to effectively embark on a refreshed vision. He presented many revolutionary theories, practices and perspectives based on his three decades of experience and exposure working for two of the largest multinationals in the world. He got students to transform their way of thinking, to embrace new management and leadership practices, to become more competitive leaders in the modern challenging environment. He inspired the batch of over 200 MBA students and corporate executives using examples of his own journey to success beating expatriates. He concluded with evidence that Sri Lankan corporate leaders are as good as best in the world.

Following his presentation, the MBA students were treated to an engaging question and answer session, whilst they were also allowed to get up close and personal with Kishu Gomes during fellowship.
