Celebrating Maneka Warangi’s Shine50 Award and Its Impact on Ocean Theory
We are beyond excited to share that Ocean Theory’s Co-founder and Director of Operations, Maneka Warangi, has been honoured with the prestigious Shine50 Award by @neonmedialk and Echelon Media. The Shine50 Award celebrates the top 50 women in Sri Lanka who are making bold contributions and driving positive change across various fields, from business to technology and education.
Maneka was recognized for her exceptional work in developing innovative and interactive educational tools for children in Sri Lanka. The award ceremony, held at Cinnamon Grand Hotel on August 20th, 2024, was supported by USAID, with US Ambassador Julie Chung in attendance.
This achievement marks a major milestone for Ocean Theory as a small business with a big mission: to create engaging, educational resources that inspire Sri Lankan families. We are incredibly proud of Maneka’s accomplishments and her unwavering dedication to our vision.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Neon Media, the organizing teams, and all our supporters who have stood by us throughout our journey. This recognition motivates us to keep pushing boundaries and innovating for the future of education in Sri Lanka. Thank you for being part of our adventure, and stay connected with us for what’s to come!
