Jesuthasan Kupendran
Business Development - Sri Lanka
Jesuthasan Kupendran leads business development and customer support for PHP Point of Sale in Sri Lanka. His work stands out because he brings more than technical knowledge—he brings a deep understanding of the region, the language, and the way businesses operate day to day. Retailers in Sri Lanka get someone who doesn’t just translate the software, but translates the experience into something that fits their reality.
With boots on the ground, he meets store owners and staff where they are. He provides personal demos in their own language, visits shops in person, and walks teams through the system in a way that feels natural and familiar. This cultural alignment makes training smoother, builds trust faster, and helps people feel comfortable adopting new technology.
Because he understands local expectations, communication styles, and the unique challenges Sri Lankan businesses face—from connectivity issues to multi-lingual staff—he can tailor the support experience in ways that remote teams simply can’t. It turns a global product into something that feels local.
Jesuthasan’s presence has become a major advantage for PHP Point of Sale in the region. He bridges the gap between the software and the people who rely on it, making sure every customer gets the kind of guidance that only someone who truly knows the region, the language, and the culture can provide.
