Tesco, to get advice from kids!



'Tesco', has already planned to build up an advisory board, made up of school children, aged between nine years to 12 years, in helping with the supermarket chain's 'Tesco for Schools & Clubs programme'. 

The said advisory board will include six 'young entrepreneurs', as they prove they have a talent in making decisions, and sensory vision towards the future.


Tesco had already planned to acknowledge each member of the said advisory board with 10,000 'Tesco for Schools & Clubs vouchers' for their respective school or club, a laptop and a digital camera. 

According to Tesco executive director Lucy Neville-Rolfe, the super market chain's idea of 'recruiting' kids for such a venture is that the younger minds carry strong ideas and they should be given a chance to put those ideas into action. 

This will obvioulsy regard the supermarket chain with means of gathering solid consumer insights, mainly over its strategy to use Club card and Tesco mums panel to drive the business.

Amidst all these complicated issues. Our dear Murali said goodbye to the game through which he was made the golden factor of the Sri Lankan spin battalion, after adding just one more wicket which totaled upto 800 test wickets, a spot one should think harder of reaching.

A journey with passion...building the brand 'BnS'

L - Bhathiya Jayakody -  R - Santhush Weeraman Not definitely with a quest to build an entire 'Entertainment Empire', these two youngsters embarked on a journey, something catchy but dubbed with actions that attracted a lot of criticism from many corners in the society. They were singing/communicating to them Sri Lankans who were 'sandwiched' in the society, between those elite groups & hard- line extremists (in every aspect).  Their products were unique & different, the impact was slow but steady, mesmerized some of the industry giants who believed the duo has a future ahead. A lot of sweat, tears and hard work went in, hours and hours wasted waiting to meet the big guns in media stations and record labels, to present their case.. one thing was obvious, with a bit of luck in their hands of course, they had a unique product on offer, backed by undying passion coupled with creativity, which meant "the future" for potential investors.  As...
