Dear Dr. Mothilal de Silva and Mr. Riyaaz Rasheed,
My name is Lehan Edirisinghe from AngryPages Inc — California.
I wanted to write to you directly because SLT-MOBITEL stands in a category above most brands in Sri Lanka. It is not just a telecom company. It is part of the country’s digital backbone, public-facing identity, and long-term infrastructure story.
There is also a more personal reason for writing. My mother’s brother, Thilanga Sumathipala, served as Chairman of Sri Lanka Telecom from 2002 to 2004. He replaced Yellow Pages with Rainbow Pages and was there through the IPO period. Our family has also been an SLT customer for over 30 years. So this is not a cold approach from a distance. There is history here, and real regard for what SLT represents.
AngryPages is a California-based publishing platform, but that structure is there for a reason. It helps us sell to every nation, and helps Sri Lankans earn meaningful foreign-currency income, including dollars, while staying in Sri Lanka rather than having to leave the country to do so. That matters to me deeply.
Part of what we are building is a way to package Sri Lankan stories, brands, and ideas for an English-speaking audience, including overseas readers and people who engage with Sri Lanka from abroad. I believe there is room for a serious discussion with SLT-MOBITEL around visibility, digital publishing, sponsorship, and broader partnership value.
Our public pricing is here:

For Sri Lanka, the standard rate is Tier C. But for a first conversation, I am less interested in pushing a small ad sale than in exploring whether there is a broader strategic fit between SLT-MOBITEL and AngryPages.
If this is of interest, I would be glad to send a short proposal.
Best regards,
Lehan Edirisinghe
AngryPages Inc — California
