About Paths
Built by people who move.
We are designers, builders, travellers, photographers and everyday movers.
We’re creating the place we always wished existed: the home of movement memory.
The team
Two cities. One team.
A clear purpose. A long view.
Niluka Ratnayake
Founder
Chief Executive Officer
Niluka founded Paths after realising that while technology had transformed how movement is navigated and measured, it still had nowhere to be kept. After more than two decades in international banking, she now leads the vision, product and long-term direction of Paths. Her own movement spans the everyday and the memorable: familiar routines, sport, wellness, travel, time with family and friends and the moments that unexpectedly become part of a life. Based in London.
Nirosh Perera
Co-founder
Product & Technology
Nirosh leads product, design and engineering at Paths. An artist, wildlife photographer and technologist, he brings the same eye for place, composition and detail to every part of the product. He believes how a movement is remembered matters as much as where it took place. That same connection to the natural world inspired Makini, the boutique wildlife bush camp in Sri Lanka that he co-founded. Wildlife, adventure, sport and time outdoors have always been part of how he experiences the world. Based in London.
Shavanka Ratnayake
Co-founder
Partnerships & Growth
Shavanka leads how Paths grows through partnerships, relationships and new markets. After more than two decades in banking across Asia Pacific, he understands how lasting relationships are built across cultures and communities. Travel, fitness and cycling have long been part of his life, and he believes movement connects people as much as places. He learned to ride during Covid, but a journey from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai soon became one he would always remember: for the terrain, the effort and the changing landscape along the way. Based in Singapore.
Samantha Chong
Head
Brand & Marketing
Samantha leads how Paths is understood and felt. Over the past fifteen years, she has moved from advertising and creative services in London and Singapore to leading employer brand and recruitment marketing across APAC at GSK, always with the same instinct: to make people feel something before they act. Her own movement spans travel, wellness and the experiences that stay with us. One she wants to keep is a ride in Mallorca, not for the distance or the time, but for the climb through calm, lush green hills, the descent with the sea on her left, the blue horizon where the sky met the water, and for a moment, pure stillness. Pure freedom. The kind of movement a tracker records, but only partly captures. Based in Singapore.
Building beyond
There is a wider world around movement.
Communities, events and organisations give people reasons to move, gather, travel and take part.
Paths gives people a way to keep those movements as part of their own movement memory, while helping the organisations behind them remain part of that memory.
Your movement memory starts here.
