i don't agree with the statement "8 hours in a chair shows dedications to the job". its kind of slavery and its can lead to many occupational health hazards. Healthy worker is a efficient worker. Thanks to the COVID finally Sri Lanka has evolved from traditional office based work to work from home. i believe this shift played a major role on changing the mentality of IT industry workers. Just a constructive criticism from my end. I'm really proud of you and your accomplishments bossa

I am a Canadian who grew up in Canada but originally from Sri Lanka. What India did right is that they are offering degrees, diplomas and certifications geared toward either global certification standards such as CompTIA A+, CCNP, etc and the markets in the West. The Sri Lankan community kept hold of the line of "elite universities" and divided the Sri Lankan students and did not fix the issue. All developing countries and even developed countries have divisions within educational institutions. But what is sad is that the quality of education, access to correct materials, access to facilities and globally recognized programs are vastly different from Colombo University to let's say Rajarata University. India also has this problem. This is why they have Tier 1, 2 and 3 universities with Tier 1 being well-funded. However, most of these Indian universities and colleges still offer programs specifically targeted to the current global markets. Sri Lankans MUST unite and close the gap between let's say SLITT, UCSC and other rural and smaller schools. Also teach English to everyone! This is the way to fix the issues in Sri Lanka. Don't build IT infrastructure and facilities just in Colombo or Kandy. Why not Plonarruwa? Why not Thanamalwila? You need to distribute wealth and resources to everyone in the country or you risk being a failure as an entire nation. There is a reason why so many, even poor Indian kids, are in Canada (and other Western nations) working in IT while I do not see that tread with Sri Lanka. There are benefits to this for the locals as well. Some people who came to Canada from India have went back and built IT companies in India helping Indian population back home. This is what we need in Sri Lanka as well. Also, I disagree with Japanese mentality or American culture of working to death. No you do not need to dedicate your life to your work to improve productivity. Look at Western Europe and some, not all, companies in Canada. We don't work to death. We have paid vacation, paid sick leave, paid family day offs, etc. I get paid to even take my mom to the doctor. That is called work-life balance. Don't copy America (the USA) or Japan. Please copy Western Europe like Italy, Germany and France for work culture models. Workers rights and human rights matters! Thank you for an outstanding discussion.

Bhanuka is a local visionary, he is a rare gem, I’m very optimistic about his current & future ventures.

Dhammika pereras next big move would be from manucturing to build a technology company I bet it 99% .Good luck and hope that helps out our talent pool to reach global standards!

Transparency is the main key. Many Sri Lankan corporate companies don't have it.

Mr. @Bhanoob, you're a great man. That's an amazing spirit!

Dhammika Perera is the visionary leader of Sri Lanka. His DP Education brought education to all the people in Sri Lanka. His one million software developers creation project in the country is another first in the world similar to DP Education. Great job! Thank you for your hard work to bring this great leader. His companies already employed more than 200,000 people in Sri Lanka.

Nice interview. I did huge mistake in my life not learning IT properly early in my life. Im strugling to make 1 million investor in sl need huge system knoledge to create good network.

Great synergy. Two great visionaries!!

Thankyou Mr.Dhammika and Mr.Bhanoob 🙏 To compete with the world, many talents are being created from our country at the same time, that is the best thing. ❤ Simple Book වීඩියෝ එකේ භානුට බැනපු අයට සහ මට බැනපු අයට උපහාරයක්ම වේවා❗ 😂

Lol.. 8hrs sitting and working?? Is that the work culture he is trying to make? And how does he name it as "discipline"? 😅

Some people have the wrong perception about Western companies. Transparency is not a thing in Canada and the US. I am not sure about other countries. For example, my jobs here I had no idea if it take 2 week or a year (that's right one entire year) to get an LOO (letter of offer) or rejection depending on the company. Some recruitment processes are very very complex in Canada and the US. Transparency in hiring process is so bad in North America, there is an entire sub-Reddit dedicated to it. I am not sure about Europe. However, I do agree it is a good thing to have for your company.

Everything is great except for the "training people to physically sit for 8 hours" part. I understand it's figure of speech and the discipline to put in the hours is important but speaking as someone who's already in the industry, this is not how actual work happens. Software engineers aren't factory line workers for clock in at 8:30 and just pump out code for 8 hours straight and punch out at 5:30. That's not how it works.

We know both of you are brilliant and everything is transparent. Love to listen to more of such interviews. thanks @bhanoob

මන් කල්පනා කලේ දම්මික කවද්ද ඉදන්ද digital උනේ කියලා.😂 student ලට IT ඉගෙන ගන්න පහසුකම් දුන්නා කියලා දම්මික evolution වෙලා නැහැ.කෙටියෙන්ම කිව්වොත් ඔහු traditional invester කෙනෙක් විතරයි.

2 one of a kind souls good luck both of you😍😍

Its not about analog or digital. Japan is an analog country, if you go to their banks or any offices, they still maintain everything in files and make you fill out paper forms. So being an analog country alone is not a drawback.

Start a podcast please❤

Dammika, please don't make robots. Give them a street less environment. such as tiny Gym time, tiny chat time, lunch break, tea breaks, etc. In CA two ten mins breaks are paid breaks, lunch break is without pay. Total is 9 hrs for the whole day. Here in the US, one day a week or a couple of days a week, work from home. My son is a software engineer in CA. He is very deciplined. Doing his job with minimum stress, I believe. Please don't make robots out of our youth. I know you can do a lot better.

This seems to be a great interview 🔥♥️👏

Hey Bhanoob, I just watched your video and I have to say, it was great! The way you presented the information was clear and concise, and your expertise really shines through. I appreciate the effort you put into making this video informative and engaging. Keep up the good work! #WellDone

Greatly appreciate both of you 👍🙏!

Great discussion to move the nation forward to success. Dhammika’s passion is clear. 1. English education is of utmost importance for total, national and global success for equality. 2. Co.s could uplift the company standards alone by giving this training in English. Also, promotions could be within the Co. 3. Work life balance is of importance w/o slaving. 4. Transparency should be anyone’s principal. 5. Not to follow global unethical trends. Having been in the garment trade had passionately worked long hours and also one trade that rewards well, but worked hard regardless. Same applied to hospitality!

As more brains like these two gents collaborate to work towards common goals that also benefit the nation, Next Gen of Sri Lanka could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! Wishing you both all the very best and hoping the country can use this as a trend to create more like you.

Great discussion ❤

Both are fantastic ❤

Wow😮, Thank you❤

Seem rooster would be kinda best solution for current job market. Even i faced the same problem when i applying for the internship.

Great interview dammika and banuka ❤💪

ඉදිරියට කෘෂිකර්මයට තමයි ඉහල ලෝක ඉල්ලුමක් එන්නේ. ඒ ගැන අවධානය යොමු කිරීම හොදයි.බොහොමයක් දියුණු රටවල AI tools භාවිතා කරමින් IT ජොබ් කප්පාදු කරමින් යන්නේ.

Thank You Bhanuka...

Hi Banuka , this conversation is very professional and interesting........i want to say something about Dhammika.......his English pronouncition is very weak, Hey Dhammika its not FLAT FORM its PLATFORM, you kept saying FLATFORM........ All the best Bhanuka , with your FUTURE ENDEAVOURS !!

ආණ්ඩුව අතඇරල කරන්ඩ පුලුවන් එකක්නම් විතරයි ලංකාවේ කරනදෙයක් හරියන්නේ. මොන ලස්සන වචන දැම්මත්, try your best to follow this point .

Great interview .. bit looks like dhammika making an work army..not individual thinkers.. 👍

Now this is a discussion between a boss and a leader. 😊 Well done Bhanuka!

Show some respect when u talking to someone who deserve it man.

Love the structure of this discussion/interview

Two legends 🤫

Good job brother 👏 👍

Another great work bhanu

people has discussed about DP's 8 hours standing requirement. My view is different : Someone lacking that endurance means someone else's opportunity right? I felt most of the new bees in Developed countries lacking the endurance the most compared to their older generations. We have genetically that capacity and I think that's what our DP has pointed out. If we can mold a kid in that way, his or her consistency will be higher. However, the most important thing is to have right knowledge before everything else. However, I feel both has good vision and hope for the best for the country. Please don't care about political cries. Go ahead. Thanks for all the hard work and defiantly this will pay you back someday.

I faced an interview at surge but never heard back from them at least to say its rejected.

In my personal opinion as dammika said i don’t think training a boy to sit infront of a pc for 8hr is not the solution for current situation or for their own future

Great❤

Great work

Marvellous interview We need genius people like you just to make this country a heaven

All the best

if you listen closely there is a niticeable contrast between these two on how they articulate their vision. Bhanuka is classy and doest seem to have an agenda, Dammika exactly the opposite. goes to show money can't buy Class ! (at least in SL)

Great work 👍

අනාගතේ දැක්ක ඒකම පුද්ගලයා ඔබඊ ජයවේවා 🌹🌹🌹

Two legends at one meeting ❤

Machan den oya kiyapu den tiyenavane LinkedIn nedda? Ekai oya kiyana rooster ekaki 2 kakda?

Ranil is already too old to protect and back the Rajapaksha crime circle in the comming years , but Dammika is not . He has strings attached to Rajapaksha family even before 2012 when Gotabaya shot two school children to protect Dammika's factory in Wathupitiwala. Then the covid came in 2019 and Basil gave him " Tile import ban " so Dammika could increase the tile price by 300%. Then Basil let the economy to fall yet gave this man a billions of Tax relief. That stolen money from the public is going to play in the 2024 election. The same black money were re invested as DP education IT centers ... just to build the public image according to Basil's 2024 election plan to get back the power through this guy. Rajapaksha criminal circle is wide and huge .... ☺

😂😂😂 Patta athal ne 2048 mu akka ratata uththara labawine

Nice work 💚

Really with all my confuses I have no clue the resource is where so how can I find it without it I can't inform to customer

Attitude patta bro banuka harichandara & dammika perera

May be if Dammika gets an Apple Watch, it’ll help redefine his 8 hours on a chair ideology 😊great stuff!

Very good

Rich and wealth can be identified 😍 when watch this one

Lol dammika is a good person😂wtf😅

Good Luck 🎉😊

All the best We will win srilanka . now in track

Great work dhammika sir

I like DP EDUCATION SYSTEM

වැඩක් කරපු එවුන් කතා කරද්දී අහන් ඉන්න ආසයි.

🎉also, It’s going from digital to quantum too!

Reminded me of Elon musk and Jack ma convo 🥲 On two different levels and mindsets .

❤good

I think Bhanuka has a next level mind. I think he is more like a startup concept. He may be where entrepreneurs are instead of jobs

Sir frankly I asking that dp is centre isn't it

Problem with older generation (older CEO, VP, managers and many companies run by older generation) they are still resistant to “Change”. It shows with this statement of sitting in a chair for 8 hours which proves nothing but slavery. Man can sit in chair for 8 hours but if motivation not there it won’t prove productivity. World needs “changes”, not incorporate old ways of thinking and claim “new changes”.

Disagree with 8 hour sitting on chair. When considering some gov institution somany officers sitting on chair more than 12 hours. But efficiency is less. someone may be 6 to 7 hours work with more efficiency. Based on that slavery imagination still in their mind some businessmans. Perhaps its south asian country thing ir culture differences

Lol ..... dhammika hari honda lokkek ne 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another step by DP towards Lankan presidency 😊 I like his vision though.

Wow excelant

Sir how do i continue without resource

No 1 work and duty to SL

You may very good with what your doing . But you need to understand the Sri Lankan cultural values . See how Mr. Dhammika address you and how you addressed him.

🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍

Modern day slavery 😂. Nice try

❤❤❤

What is this place Bhanoob?

රටට මෙහෙම වෙනකන් මෙයාලා කොහෙද හිටියෙ. මෙයාලා නිසයි මෙහෙම උනේ. පිටින් ඩොලර් නය ඕනෙ නැනි. මෙයාලට පුලුවන්නෙ දෙන්න 😂

Yes

Have some respect for elders don’t put your leg crossed in front of him no matter how much you are successful,humble yourself man and don’t call him by Dhamikka shame on you man
