The period from 2020 to 2023 presented unprecedented global and domestic challenges. In response, TWC demonstrated resilience and strategic agility, strengthening its capabilities during one of Sri Lanka’s most difficult economic phases.

At the height of the crisis, TWC undertook a deliberate effort to build a high-calibre team with deep financial and strategic expertise aligned to the needs of a distressed economy. This repositioning enabled the firm to expand its mandate and deliver across complex, high-impact assignments.

Between 2020 and 2024, TWC advised multilateral institutions and governments across Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Maldives, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia on PPP frameworks and investment strategy. In parallel, the firm successfully executed the only post-pandemic hotel and real estate M&A transactions in Sri Lanka. Notably, TWC acted as sell-side adviser on the largest real estate transaction in the country’s history—the USD 96 million sale of 10.3 acres of marina land plots at Colombo Port City.

During this period, TWC also refined its strategic focus around select value chains, integrating capital from philanthropic sources, multilateral donors, development finance institutions, private equity, and capital markets. This approach has enabled the firm to optimise outcomes across stakeholders while developing deep sector expertise.

To date, TWC has worked across a range of priority sectors—including agribusiness, ports, mining and minerals, pharmaceuticals, carbon sequestration and climate adaptation, tourism, and real estate—building a strong track record in structuring capital and delivering value across complex ecosystems.
