From Sri Lankato the world.
Ceylon Labs AI is an internationally focused Sri Lankan artificial intelligence and software engineering company, established in Colombo to help international organizations build, modernize and scale intelligent software products and technology systems.

Building intelligent technology for the global market.
We combine a specialized AI engineering team and a software engineering team under one organization, so international clients engage a single partner for AI development, intelligent products, enterprise applications, data engineering, cloud-native systems and digital transformation.
The company is built on an export-oriented business model. Our primary focus is international clients and technology partners across North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, South America and Africa.
Our name carries a long history. For centuries the island at the centre of the Indian Ocean sat on the routes that connected East and West, mapped by Greeks as Taprobane and known to the world for generations as Ceylon. The routes are digital now, and we intend Sri Lanka to sit at the centre of them again.
From start-up to global brand.
Our vision: from Sri Lanka to the global technology market. This is the growth path we are building toward, one stage at a time.

A letter from our founder

Hello, World.
Sri Lanka produces thousands of talented engineering and computing graduates every year. Many of them are as capable as any engineer anywhere. Too often, the world’s most interesting technology work never reaches them. I founded Ceylon Labs AI to change that.
We are building a company where artificial intelligence and software engineering are equal disciplines, owned by one accountable team. We define success as systems running in production and performing against goals our clients agree with us in writing, not as impressive demonstrations.
We are new, and we will not pretend otherwise. We will not show you logos we have not earned. Instead, we will show you our work at every stage, protect your intellectual property from the first conversation, and tell you honestly when we are not the right partner.
If you are building something ambitious, I would be glad to hear about it.
Sahan Pradeepa
