ITC Ratnadipa marked its second anniversary of refined hospitality on April 25, celebrating two years of presence and service excellence with a special gathering at the Sagara Lobby.
The occasion went beyond a simple milestone, serving instead as a heartfelt tribute to the people who bring the hotel to life each day—those whose dedication shapes every detail and whose presence defines its spirit.
As the sun set over Colombo’s skyline, the evening unfolded through a series of elegant performances. A piano recital reflected the journey so far, a ballet performance expressed grace and balance, while a violin performance resonated with quiet emotion, symbolising continuity and the promise of what lies ahead.
Over the past two years, ITC Ratnadipa has grown into more than just a destination. It has become a living narrative of experiences, where every stay and every interaction contributes to its evolving story of hospitality.
Janashakthi Finance Launches ‘Shakthi’ to Support Women’s Financial Growth
Janashakthi Finance PLC, a subsidiary of JXG, has introduced ‘Shakthi’, a dedicated fixed deposit product designed specifically for women, reinforcing its commitment to inclusive finance and long-term wealth creation.
Positioned for today’s modern woman, Shakthi goes beyond a conventional fixed deposit. It is designed to support women across different stages of life—from starting a career and growing a business to building long-term financial security for themselves and their families.
As more women enter the workforce, lead enterprises, and take active roles in financial decision-making, the demand for accessible and relevant investment solutions continues to rise. However, women remain underrepresented in long-term savings and investment products. Shakthi aims to bridge this gap by offering a secure, structured, and rewarding savings option that encourages disciplined financial planning and wealth accumulation.
The product provides competitive returns along with added benefits, making it easier for women to grow their savings steadily over time. Supported by Janashakthi Finance’s expanding branch network and digital platforms, Shakthi is designed to be simple, convenient, and widely accessible across key urban markets.
Commenting on the launch, Sithambaram Sri Ganendran, Chief Executive Officer of Janashakthi Finance PLC, said there is a growing need within the financial sector to develop solutions that reflect the evolving role of women in the economy.
He noted that increased participation of women in employment and entrepreneurship calls for more inclusive financial offerings. According to him, Shakthi is part of the company’s effort to support this shift by enabling women to plan ahead, build long-term wealth, and play a stronger role in shaping financial outcomes for themselves and their families. He also added that it aligns with the company’s broader mission of driving financial inclusion and expanding access to structured investment opportunities.
