This year, the awards introduce a new dimension of impact through a collaborative initiative between Soorya and the Top40 winners, focusing on personality development and mental well-being. This timely intervention aims to support youth in navigating challenges and achieving their life goals with dignity and happy mindfulness.

New Generation Sri Lanka Founder Dr. Sulochana Segera shared, “The Youth Top40 Awards are more than recognition; they are a platform to shape future leaders.”

Sunmatch Director Gowri Rajan, a passionate advocate for youth empowerment, commented, “Supporting Youth Top40 is our way of investing in the next generation of leaders who will carry forward the spirit of innovation, resilience and kindness.”

Soorya Brand Ambassador Yashoda Wimaladharma added, “Soorya is proud to go beyond being a household product and to actively support youth empowerment—because the light of our future lies in the hands of the next generation.”

Panel of Judges Chair and University of Kelaniya Head of Marketing Prof. Ravi Dissanayake noted, “What sets Youth Top40 apart is its integrity and holistic approach to youth recognition. We’re not just rewarding success – we’re encouraging authenticity, social value and personal growth.”

New Generation Sri Lanka Chairman Dr. Dilmika Srimal emphasised, “In a time when youth face numerous social, economic and psychological challenges, this award is a beacon. It motivates, validates and connects young minds across industries and ideologies.”
