About Srilanka
Our Journey Begins in 2017
Welcome to Srilanka, your go-to online destination for news and insights focused on the vibrant island nation of Sri Lanka. Founded in 2017, our mission is to bridge the information gap and deliver accurate, unbiased, and engaging content about every aspect of life in Sri Lanka. We strive to become the digital home for both locals and visitors seeking to explore and understand this beautiful country.
A Story of Passion and Purpose
The idea behind Srilanka was born out of a deep-rooted love for Sri Lanka and a growing realization of the power of digital media in sharing stories that shape our world. We identified a need for a reliable online source dedicated to showcasing the rich culture, diverse landscapes, vibrant communities, and compelling narratives that make Sri Lanka unique.
Our journey began as a small team of passionate journalists, writers, and technology enthusiasts who shared a vision. Over the years, we have grown into a dynamic collective of professionals, each bringing their expertise to create a comprehensive digital experience for our audience.
