This was back in 2021, when I was just starting out and still figuring things out. I remember being amazed all over again by Marissa Mayer and the kind of career she built in tech.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. It honestly changed the way I looked at my life. As strange as it sounds to admit, just seeing Marissa Mayer—someone connected to Larry Page and Eric Schmidt—suddenly appear on my screen felt surreal. I kept staring, wondering how on earth she had shown up there of all places, and why our worlds had crossed even for a moment.

Larry Page, you could have a special role in my imagination too. I like to think I’ve already shared the “Sri Lanka Family Tree” idea with Mark Zuckerberg, and if you’d like, you could be the one I picture helping to guide a “Sri Lanka Wealth Fund” someday—looking after long-term projects and future growth.
