23rd October 2024: AIA Insurance is thrilled to announce its platinum sponsorship of the WCIC Prathibhabhisheka Women Entrepreneur Awards 2024 for the second consecutive year, following a successful partnership as gold sponsors in our inaugural year in 2022. This initiative underscores AIA’s unwavering commitment to empowering women, both within the organisation and in the broader community.
The Prathibhabhisheka Awards celebrate the remarkable achievements of women entrepreneurs and aim to inspire the next generation of female leaders. Over the past three years, AIA has been proud to stand alongside the Women’s Chamber of Industry and Commerce (WCIC) in recognising and promoting the vital role women play in driving economic growth and innovation.
As part of AIA’s commitment, the company has taken the opportunity to engage personally with last year’s award winners. Through shared stories and invaluable advice, these trailblazers have inspired countless aspiring young women, reinforcing AIA’s dedication to fostering female empowerment and mentorship.
“This is the third time AIA Insurance is honoured to partner with the WCIC Women Entrepreneurship Awards,” said Chathuri Munaweera, CEO AIA Insurance. “WCIC and AIA are together in our mission to empower women across the country to achieve their dreams. This year, as in year 2023, AIA is proud to share the platform as WCIC’s platinum sponsor. The award resonates with AIA’s commitment to champion equality, diversity and inclusivity while empowering women and creating opportunities for them to excel. We are excited about this collaboration and look forward to hearing and seeing more groundbreaking ideas and passionate entrepreneurial endeavours this year, from our female movers and shakers across the country.”
AIA’s commitment to women’s empowerment extends beyond this sponsorship. The company actively promotes initiatives that enhance gender equality, providing support and resources for women within the organisation to thrive in their careers.
As we look forward to this year’s awards ceremony, AIA remains dedicated to championing the voices of women entrepreneurs and fostering a culture of innovation, resilience and leadership.
