The mechanism
The first one through pays the whole price, and everyone after walks through an open door. These are the doors.
The 5 ideas
- 496Shipping and customs clearance for a household coming home, from the packing abroad to the door at home
- 497Returnee co-working houses in Colombo and Kandy, so that the first year is not spent alone
- 498A returnee investment fund that takes 20 small stakes in this list, run by returnees
- 499The Sri Lanka House desk that meets the returning professional at the airport with a list of who wants to hire them
- 500A licence-to-practise service for returning professionals: the doctor's, nurse's, engineer's or accountant's foreign qualification recognised at home, paperwork, exams and all, for a fixed fee
And a five hundred and first, which is not mine to write: the next five hundred, because this list is the country's. Send yours to whynotsrilanka.com/next-five-hundred. Every good one will go on the website, with your name on it if you want it there.
