Welcome to our interview with Navin Amarasuriya
 
Navin represents the fifth-generation ownership at the B.P. de Silva Group, established in Singapore in 1872. After 7 years of running operations for the luxury goods brand Risis, he has decided to explore the world of education to understand how deeper learning can address the challenges that we collectively face. 

Navin holds a BSc in Business Management from the University of Manchester (U.K.), and a Diploma in Animation from Nanyang Polytechnic (Singapore) where he lives. Aside from rock-climbing and meditation, he loves asking questions! 
 
B.P. De Silva Overview: 
 
Founded in 1872 by Balage Porolis de Silva, the company had its early beginnings as a jewellery shop on the banks of the Singapore river. It has since grown in to a diversified conglomerate which stays true to the founder’s principles. A selection of companies includes B.P. de Silva Jewellers for bespoke pieces; RISIS, known for gold plated orchids and sculptures; and The 1872 Clipper Tea Company which features the finest in Sri Lankan tea. Family owned and run after 148 years in the luxury goods business, they plan to continue the lasting legacy through building home grown brands.
