AIA Insurance recently joined hands with Women’s Chamber of Industry and Commerce (WCIC) as the Platinum Sponsor for Prathibhabhisheka Women Entrepreneur Awards for the third consecutive year. AIA Insurance is proud to stand alongside the WCIC in recognising and promoting the role women play in driving economic growth in this flagship event that celebrates the remarkable achievements of women entrepreneurs that aim to inspire the next generation of female leaders.
This year, the event was held under the patronage of Hon. Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya as Chief Guest and US Ambassador to Sri Lanka Julie Chung as Guest of Honor. As the Platinum Sponsor, the AIA team, including Chathuri Munaweera, Director/CEO of AIA Insurance, Chanaka Liyanage, Chief Agency Officer, Senaka Rajapakse, Chief Partnership Distribution Officer, and Sampath Thushara, Chief Financial Officer, along with some of AIA’s top-performing female Wealth Planners, were proud to be part of the special evening honouring the excellence of women entrepreneurs.
AIA Sri Lanka believes that every Wealth Planner is essentially an entrepreneur in their own right. In a traditionally male-dominated field like insurance sales, AIA is breaking barriers by actively recruiting and providing career advancement opportunities for women. Today, AIA has successfully achieved a 51% female representation in the sales force, with 43% of them ranking among the top 100 high performing Wealth Planners, responsible for generating over half of the business’s revenue.
With commitment to equality, inclusivity and empowerment, AIA will continue to support women’s economic empowerment in Sri Lanka, ensuring sustainable development and economic resilience across the nation.
