Senior business leader and Ceylon Biscuits Ltd., Group Chairman Ramya Sanath Amaraweera Wickramasingha passed away on Saturday.

He drove the CBL Group’s continuous focus on product innovation and quality, overseeing research and development (R&D), quality control, manufacturing, and procurement processes.
