Imperial Institute of Leadership and Strategy to shape Sri Lanka's future-ready leaders

Daily FT

October 22, 2025

MARKING a bold new chapter in Sri Lanka’s educational and leadership landscape, the Imperial Group officially launched the Imperial Institute of Leadership and Strategy (IILS), a pioneering institution dedicated to advancing leadership excellence, strategic capability, and transformational impact in Sri Lanka.

Delivering the inaugural address, IILS Co-Founder and Director Seroshi Nandasiri described the launch as both “a national responsibility and a call to action.”

“Sri Lanka is at a critical juncture. Much of our talent has migrated, and those who remain are under immense pressure to deliver on time, to quality, and at competitive cost, while adapting to rapid technological change and navigating geopolitical uncertainty. In this environment, resilience in leadership is not optional; it is essential. Just growth will not work anymore, we need exponential growth, and that begins with leadership,” she added.
