This International Women’s Day, we came together for a morning of inspiration, learning, and connection.
An inspiring message on leadership, grit, and facing challenges was delivered by Chandi Dharmaratne, uplifting and encouraging the women of Team SAGT to keep pushing boundaries and embracing opportunities.

As part of our commitment to the health and wellbeing of our employees, a breast cancer awareness session was also conducted by Dr. Roshini Widanage, followed by a professional medical examination.

“She gives strength, dedication, and care every day. In return, she finds inspiration, wellness, and empowerment.”
To every woman on our team, thank you for all that you do. When you rise, we all rise. 🙌
