About Deepan Gujrati

With over 11 years of dynamic leadership and innovation in the sports marketing industry, I’ve had the privilege of transforming ITW’s presence from a modest beginning in 2014 into a dominant powerhouse in sports sponsorships. From selling and servicing to production, strategic planning, and brand liaison, my journey has been defined by an unrelenting drive to build, lead, and win.Since 2016, spearheading ITW’s Sri Lanka region, I’ve not only established an unchallenged monopoly in the local sports marketing landscape but also redefined how brands connect with fans through sport. My team and I have consistently delivered integrated campaigns across cricket, football, and other marquee sports — blending ATL, digital, and outdoor channels to create tangible brand impact.Beyond borders, I continue to collaborate with leading brands across globe — from PSUs and banking giants to apparel and gaming categories — delivering bespoke sponsorship and marketing solutions that bridge the passion of sport with the power of business.A decade on, the journey from a small team to leading one of the most influential sports marketing operations in the region is a testament to persistence, partnership, and a vision to make sport the ultimate brand amplifier.
