Amba Research launches CSR
Amba Research has launched a series of CSR activities to commemorate
five years in operation.
In its biggest such project to date, in mid-October, Amba Research
Lanka will supply computer hardware to a rural school in the Puttalam
District to facilitate the inclusion of IT-based education in their
curriculum. Earlier this year, Amba concluded a successful blood drive
in conjunction with the Sri Lanka Red Cross and donated essential
supplies to the Army Seva Vanitha unit. As part of an ongoing project,
every year, Amba provides gifts and supplies to various orphanages
across Sri Lanka.
In addition to making great strides in the investment research
support services space, Amba has gained respect and recognition for its
initiatives in the area of education as well. Amba regularly hosts
career guidance workshops and seminars for University graduates in
several Sri Lankan Universities. Amba has hosted a Capital Markets Quiz
for educational institutions for the last two years. Amba in Sri Lanka
has also dedicated efforts towards working with leading international
education providers like the Chartered Institute of Management
Accountants (CIMA) Programme.
Amba Research Lanka has the distinction of being the first and only
Sri Lankan company to have received the CIMA CPD (Continuing
Professional Development) accreditation. Thus, the company is currently
ranked alongside firms such as General Electric, Barclays and Deutsche.
Amba Research Lanka employs the largest concentration of CFA Charter
holders as well as the largest number of fully-qualified CIMA members in
Sri Lanka. Currently over 20% of Amba Lanka staff is pursuing their CFA
Charter, following different levels of the CFA programme.
Reflecting on Amba Research's fifth birthday, Managing Director Ravi
Abeysuriya said that 'I am pleased about what Amba has achieved in this
relatively short span of time. We have groomed a generation of world
class finance professionals and put Sri Lanka on the world map as a
destination for Investment Research support services. Some of our staff
has gone onto the world's most prestigious universities for their MBAs.' |
