The story of this business family runs back to few decades. Back in
1942, Mr. Paththini Arachchige Ariyadasa arrived to Colombo from Ratnapura with nothing. Then he started working
as labor at a construction company. This rural village man had a big heart. His story is truly an inspiring one.
After few years Mr.Ariyadasa started selling lotteries in towns in Colombo. He was always determined to do
better and his success was evident. He met Paththini Arachchige Ishwara Dayawathi and got married to her and
they have six children together. Along with the marriage MR. Ariyadsa's businesses started to grow.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ariyadasa shifted to taxi business. He started working as a taxi driver in his own taxi. As
stated earlier, this village man never got settled with what he got; always he wanted to do better. He was so
ambitious and few years down the line he had seven taxies for hire. Taxi business generated a good income and
with that he entered into construction industry where he had experience as a labor. This is the beginning of
Daya Builders which became a successful road construction company in the country. Thus he laid a good platform
for his six children to build upon. And almost all of his children are running successful businesses today.
