Colombo, Sri Lanka – 09 June 2026 – InTalent Asia is proud to announce that its CEO, Heshani Kaumadi, has been honoured with the prestigious 45 Under 45 Leadership Excellence Award, presented by the Global CEO Forum.
The award ceremony was held on 21 May 2026 at Hilton Colombo, celebrating young and emerging business leaders who have demonstrated excellence, vision, leadership impact and contribution to their industries. Heshani’s recognition is a proud moment for InTalent Asia and an important milestone in the company’s journey as a women-led HR and workforce solutions provider.
As CEO, Heshani has played a central role in building InTalent Asia into a trusted partner for recruitment, executive search, headhunting, Employer of Record, payroll, HR consulting, Recruitment Process Outsourcing and global workforce solutions.
Speaking on the recognition, Heshani Kaumadi said, “I am truly honoured to receive the 45 Under 45 Leadership Excellence Award. This recognition belongs to the entire InTalent Asia team, our clients, our candidates and everyone who has supported our journey. Leadership is not only about building a company. It is about creating opportunities, empowering people and building something that continues to make a positive impact.”
The award reflects Heshani’s dedication to entrepreneurship, HR innovation, women’s leadership and business growth. Under her leadership, InTalent Asia has continued to expand its service offering and strengthen its position as a Sri Lankan-born company serving both local and international clients.
From empowering businesses through recruitment and executive search to helping companies manage distributed teams through EOR, payroll and HR consulting, InTalent Asia has built a strong reputation for professionalism, speed, compliance and customer service.
The 45 Under 45 recognition also highlights Heshani’s role as a woman entrepreneur contributing to Sri Lanka’s business landscape. Through InTalent Asia, she has helped companies find the right talent, supported professionals in accessing career opportunities and contributed to the growth of Sri Lanka’s HR services sector.
InTalent Asia’s growth has been driven by a strong focus on trust, service quality and practical HR solutions. The company works closely with clients to understand hiring needs, business priorities, role requirements and workforce challenges. This approach allows the company to provide customized recruitment and HR support rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
The company’s services support employers across multiple industries, including technology, finance, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, hospitality, education, logistics, customer operations and professional services. InTalent Asia’s experience across these sectors has helped it build strong market knowledge and provide relevant hiring support.
The award also reflects the growing importance of workforce solutions in modern business. Companies are no longer only hiring locally. They are building remote teams, expanding into new regions and seeking flexible employment models. InTalent Asia supports these needs through Employer of Record, Professional Employer Organization services, Recruitment Process Outsourcing, payroll, staff augmentation and global hiring solutions.
For InTalent Asia, the award is not only a celebration of leadership but also a reminder of the company’s larger mission. The company remains committed to helping businesses hire, manage and scale teams while creating meaningful career opportunities for candidates.
The recognition marks another important milestone in InTalent Asia’s journey of growth, service excellence and global ambition. Heshani’s vision and leadership continue to inspire the team as the company moves forward into its next phase of expansion.
Looking ahead, Heshani and the InTalent Asia team remain focused on strengthening service quality, adopting digital tools, expanding global partnerships and creating more opportunities for clients and candidates. The company’s long-term vision is to become a trusted global HR partner while continuing to showcase Sri Lankan capability on the international stage.
