Omila Mannapperuma’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary—a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of persistence. Born on December 21, 1992, in Sri Lanka, Omila's story began on a small island, but it was his boundless ambition that propelled him to great heights. At just 21, he founded Nelkard, a record label, turning his passion for music into a reality. But the road wasn’t easy. Upon moving to the United States, Omila faced academic failure at South Dakota State University. Diagnosed with ADHD and OCD, he struggled to keep up with his classes, failing multiple semesters. It was a humbling experience, one that tested his self-worth and resolve.Amid these challenges, Omila faced an even deeper setback in 2022—he lost everything, including his belongings and his car. It was a devastating blow, but rather than succumbing to despair, Omila chose to view it as an opportunity to rebuild, stronger than ever. Instead of giving in, he learned to adapt and grow. He picked himself up, stayed committed to his vision, and earned his Bachelor’s in Business Economics in 2022, at the age of 29. During this time, he also founded a music promotion agency in 2019, recognizing the need for affordable, effective solutions for artists to share their music with the world. His determination to create something impactful, even when faced with financial and personal struggles, speaks to his unwavering drive to succeed.In 2023, Omila faced one of his life’s greatest challenges: a diagnosis of kidney cancer. The battle was brutal, but Omila’s resilience and positive mindset saw him through. Two months after surviving surgery, he founded TenGap.com, a marketing agency designed to empower startups, small businesses, and mid-market companies. His vision was clear: to create a space where businesses could thrive without the overwhelming costs that often accompany traditional marketing.TenGap.com wasn’t just another marketing agency—it was born from Omila’s deep belief in innovation. The company quickly harnessed the power of AI to revolutionize marketing, rebranding itself as an AI marketing agency to stay ahead of the curve. It became the first remote AI marketing agency to offer global franchise opportunities, redefining the way businesses think about marketing.Omila’s tireless pursuit of excellence and his dedication to helping others paid off in remarkable ways. TenGap.com was recognized as a top web development company in New York City, and Omila, at just 32, was included in Who’s Who in America. His story is one of resilience, vision, and an unshakable belief that no matter the obstacles, we can shape our own futures.Omila's journey isn’t just about business success; it’s about showing us that we can rise from failure, embrace change, and reinvent ourselves. It’s a powerful reminder that the most profound successes often come after the greatest struggles. And no matter how hard life may seem, the path forward is always within reach for those who are willing to fight for their dreams.
