Vanithabhimana 2025 opens applications for corporate sector competition

NDB Bank announced the commencement of applications for the corporate sector competition of Sri Lanka Vanithabhimana 2025, the nation’s most distinguished platform dedicated to honouring and empowering exceptional women. 

Following the success of the provincial sector initiative, the spotlight now turns to the accomplished and trailblazing women of Sri Lanka’s corporate and professional spheres.

This year’s corporate sector competition breaks new ground by welcoming applications from all elite women professionals, entrepreneurs and leaders, without restriction. Whether you are at the helm of a business, shaping policy in the public sector, leading innovation in finance, marketing, education, healthcare or any professional domain, Sri Lanka Vanithabhimana 2025 invites you to step into the elite circle of distinguished women who are building Sri Lanka’s future.

The application process officially opened on April 30, 2025 and NDB Bank encourages all esteemed corporate heroines to submit their applications before June 2, 2025. 

This is a unique opportunity for Sri Lanka’s most impactful women to gain national recognition for their contributions to the economy, society and nation at large.

In parallel, NDB Bank will be launching the Vanithabhimana Women’s Entrepreneurship Support Course (Vanitha Vyawasayakathwa Athwela), a transformative three-month upskilling programme designed to equip women entrepreneurs with practical expertise in business administration, human resource management, accounting, sales and marketing. Delivered free of charge by industry experts, this initiative underscores NDB’s commitment to fostering sustainable growth, job creation and global competitiveness for women-led businesses.  

Women who believe in the power of leadership, vision and meaningful change are invited to take their rightful place among Sri Lanka’s most admired women. The corporate sector competition is not merely about recognition—it is about celebrating influence, progress and the unwavering spirit of professional excellence, while the upskilling programme provides the tools to turn ambition into tangible impact.  

Applications can be submitted via email to [email protected] and assistance is readily available through any NDB branch across the island.
