As the Founder and Managing Director of Celeste, Janik has redefined the retail industry by introducing the country’s first and fastest-growing on-demand cloud supermarket, revolutionizing the way consumers access their daily essentials. His journey, however, is not just one of business success but a testament to his ability to anticipate change, take bold risks, and lead with both strategy and heart.
A graduate of Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in Hospitality Management, Janik’s career initially centered around hospitality. Yet, when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted industries and daily life, he saw an opportunity where others saw obstacles. With Sri Lanka grappling with restricted movement and supply chain disruptions, he identified a critical need for an on-demand grocery delivery system. While this model was well-established in the West, Sri Lanka had never experienced anything like it. Janik took a leap of faith and introduced a quick-commerce concept that bridged this gap, ensuring people had access to essential goods right at their doorstep.
Beyond the boardroom, Janik is a sportsman at heart, a trait that defines his approach toleadership. Having actively played competitive sports, he understands the value of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance—qualities that have shaped his ability to build and scale businesses. His sportsmanship reflects in his decision-making, problem-solving, and leadership style, where he believes in taking calculated risks while fostering a culture of resilience and excellence. His competitive nature does not just push him to succeed but also inspires those around him to strive for greatness.
While Celeste remains his flagship venture, Janik’s business acumen extends across multiple industries. He also manages Jaysons Retail, Lynwood (Jaysons Agro), Jaysons HospitalityManagement Services, and Jaysons Travel & Leisure, each contributing to the country’s growingeconomy. His ability to identify new opportunities, adapt to market needs, and drive innovation has made him an invaluable asset to Sri Lanka’s business ecosystem.

Mahabaduge William Andrew Janik
Sri lanka
As the Founder and Managing Director of Celeste, Janik has redefined the retail industry by introducing the country’s first and fastest-growing on-demand cloud supermarket, revolutionizing the way consumers access their daily essentials. His journey, however, is not just one of business success but a testament to his ability to anticipate change, take bold risks, and lead with both strategy and heart.
A graduate of Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in Hospitality Management, Janik’s career initially centered around hospitality. Yet, when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted industries and daily life, he saw an opportunity where others saw obstacles. With Sri Lanka grappling with restricted movement and supply chain disruptions, he identified a critical need for an on-demand grocery delivery system. While this model was well-established in the West, Sri Lanka had never experienced anything like it. Janik took a leap of faith and introduced a quick-commerce concept that bridged this gap, ensuring people had access to essential goods right at their doorstep.
Beyond the boardroom, Janik is a sportsman at heart, a trait that defines his approach toleadership. Having actively played competitive sports, he understands the value of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance—qualities that have shaped his ability to build and scale businesses. His sportsmanship reflects in his decision-making, problem-solving, and leadership style, where he believes in taking calculated risks while fostering a culture of resilience and excellence. His competitive nature does not just push him to succeed but also inspires those around him to strive for greatness.
While Celeste remains his flagship venture, Janik’s business acumen extends across multipleindustries. He also manages Jaysons Retail, Lynwood (Jaysons Agro), Jaysons Hospitality Management Services, and Jaysons Travel & Leisure, each contributing to the country’s growing economy. His ability to identify new opportunities, adapt to market needs, and drive innovation has made him an invaluable asset to Sri Lanka’s business ecosystem.
