Humanitarian Start-ups
A track record of founding and scaling ventures focused on humanitarian causes — building sustainable solutions to pressing social challenges.
Let's talk
I'm Pramila Pulochana Silva — an enterprise account manager at SLTMobitel helping SMEs grow with internet, infrastructure and cloud solutions, and the founder of Volunteer Sri Lanka, a movement uplifting lives across the island.
Bringing light to those who need it most — through collective effort.
Volunteer Sri Lanka · since 2017With a passion for driving positive change and a diverse skill set, I thrive at the intersection of entrepreneurship, technology and social impact.
For more than a decade I have helped small and medium-sized enterprises across Sri Lanka adopt attractive, tech-savvy services — internet, infrastructure and cloud solutions — as an account manager at Sri Lanka Telecom (SLTMobitel). Along the way I have founded humanitarian and community start-ups, led Rotaract as president, and campaigned for a plastic-free, greener Sri Lanka.
I'm a self-taught learner at heart. My journey has been shaped by a commitment to innovation and a desire to make a meaningful difference — whether that's a tech strategy for an SME, a blood donation drive at Apeksha Hospital, or a GoPro workshop for the travel community.
