Unhandled Exceptions is a web video series where each episode a company, an individual or several individuals who are trying to do something different or interesting in Sri Lanka are interviewed. The types of people interviewed here range from startups to nonprofit organizations and even people in various disciplines such as sports or drama. This is done to give some much needed exposure to those who are interviewed and to promote innovation in post war Sri Lanka. If you are, or if you know of a business or individual(s) who can really benefit from this, please contact Adnan Issadeen via adnan.issadeen@live.comor via mobile (0773833241) or leave a message on the Facebook page www.facebook.com/techrumble.

On the 17th of September 2011 the first panel discussion of unhandled exceptions titled “Daily Deals LK” took place at the Ada Derana Studios. As the deals business in Sri Lanka has recently seen an explosive growth we decided that it would be a good idea to bring the four major companies in this space to have a panel discussion with us to get each one’s views on this business model.
The companies invited were: AnythingLK, Groupganum, Great Deals and Maara Deals. Unfortunately Great Deals was not able to make it at the last moment but that did not take away from the overall value of the discussion. I have a full write up on the opinions of the companies and on what I observed during the panel discussion and will post it either during the weekend or on Monday. For now I want to get your opinion on the three companies featured in this video (and if you have any views on Great Deals feel free to share). I will, as always, be participating in the conversation and interesting comments will be featured in the follow up article. If you have a Twitter account, be sure to add your Twitter handle so I can link to your profile.
