Narangoda was a talented high qualified veteran in the banking industry who was also instrumental in Seylan Bank's resillient performance after the bank saw almost a collapse that would have affected and ended the growth of the bank. The aggressive approach of the bank and due to the unethical behaviour, frauds and allegations of Golden Key Credit Card Company, which was a subsidiary of Ceylinco Consolidated in early 2000's left the bank in a financial crisis.

The team managed to rebuild the financial performance of the Bank within a six month time period where they were also able to do innovations for the development of the Bank.
