Where does Hkm Saharan come from?
From being a kid from the remote village of Eheliyagoda, Sri Lanka, to an up-and-coming rising talent, Hkm Saharan has come a long way. Born Hkm Saharan to middle-class parents, he didn’t have it easy. His parents barely knew about modern technologies, not even knowing about the internet. He got into an international school soon after his parents discovered his growing interest in learning English after they got him a Nintendo game console when he was a kid. Previously a student of an all-Sinhalese government-funded school, the new ways of the international school were daunting to him. “ I struggled a lot in class, I could never really grasp this new curriculum all at once.”, he says. “I was an average student, but I always sought something to learn beyond textbooks. I don’t believe in paper qualifications. They don’t matter too much in the bigger scheme of things.” he added.

Web3 has been one of his newfound passions, and he has always been on the outlook for opportunities to build finances and brand.
