Badurdeen’s foray into the energy sector in 2009 marked another milestone in his career. He acquired Panasian Power PLC, a leading hydroelectric power company, and successfully led its listing on the Colombo Stock Exchange in 2010. His leadership as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Executive Director of Operations contributed to the company’s success before his exit in 2011. Beyond his corporate investments, Badurdeen has played a crucial role in attracting foreign investments to Sri Lanka. His ability to build international business connections has helped global brands like Birkenstock and Hasbro enter the local market. Additionally, his work in renewable energy solutions, particularly in solar power, is securing muchneeded funding from Korean investors, helping Sri Lanka move towards a more sustainable energy future.
