NDB Wealth picks first 'It's Time' Challenge winner

Fashion designer Lonali Rodrigo, of House of Lonali fame, was selected as the first of three winners for the inaugural NDB Wealth 'It's Time' Challenge, where her vision for the future of her sustainable fashion brand earned her a NDB Wealth account worth Rs. 50,000.

NDB Wealth, CEO Prabodha Samarasekera said, "We are pleased to offer the Rs. 50,000 NDB Wealth account for investments to Ms. Rodrigo to grow the footprint of her fledgling fashion brand, which I am sure will positively impact on the Sri Lankan fashion industry and the craft communities.

A fine example of a young person, with the requisite commitment, planning, foresight and ambition to advance her mission towards its ultimate goal, we at NDB Wealth recognise in Ms. Rodrigo the drive and sense of purpose needed to effectively plan and deliver financial success."

As a precursor to the launch of an all-new range of innovative NDB Wealth lifestyle plans, the 'It's Time' Challenge offers entrants the opportunity to win an NDB Wealth account worth Rs. 50,000 weekly.

It also provides participants a catalyst to kick start their potential. Take advantage of this once-in-a-life time opportunity over the next few days by visiting www.itstime.lk, and telling us about your dreams, goals and plans, a bank spokesman said.

Interestingly, of the numerous entries already received for the first-of-its-kind NDB Wealth "It's Time' Challenge, most have been from young people in their mid-twenties who have indicated that they want to take the first step towards turning a big dream into reality, or even just buying their own dream home or having the perfect vacation.

Commented upon less frequently, but still very popular, participants have also said that they want to start their own charity or improve themselves in some way, for example by pushing their own boundaries or learning something new.
