Derived from the Latin word “Elevare”—meaning “to elevate” – the name itself reflects our mission: To create a platform that celebrates the hero within every journey.
Elevare is a quarterly luxury business and lifestyle magazine, uniquely positioned to connect Sri Lanka’s leading entrepreneurs, both at home and abroad, with emerging ventures and creative voices. It delves into the rich intersections of Enterprise & human experience, diplomacy & culture, Craft & commerce, Innovation & identity. The magazine seeks to elevate stories that matter; stories of resilience, courage, and power.
Elevare is a publication of Business Media International chaired by Mrs. Manori Hettiarachchi and director Mr. Akash Karunathilake.
Lead by Editor-in-chief Nayomi Apsara, at Elevare, “we believe that business transcends numbers; it’s a living expression of people, stories, memory, and meaning. Entrepreneurship, to us, is deeply personal and profoundly transformative. That’s why our pages carve out space for art, heritage, and cultural exchange alongside business features and inspiring profiles”.
“Our readership is comprised of Business leaders, entrepreneurs, diplomats, cultural figures, investors, venture capitalists, luxury lifestyle consumers, artists, designers & innovators; individuals whose influence shapes industries and drives meaningful change within society”.
“Our debut issue brings our ethos to life, featuring powerful stories from the intersection of leadership, culture, entrepreneurship, and art”.
It invites readers into powerful conversations with visionary diplomats, including H.E. Miyon Lee, the Korean Ambassador, who offers insight into cross-border collaboration, and H.E. Remi Lambert, the French Ambassador, who engages culturally in ways that highlight the potential of subtle power and global narratives.
We meet Suresh Dominic, a custodian of Sri Lankan art, and revisit Gehenu Lamai at the Cannes Film Festival 2025. Throughout these pages, you’ll discover emerging businesses with significant potential, from the refined branding of Pochchi Pottery to Lasangi Wimalaratne’s Tikiri Manike.
