Sri Lanka’s next growth story won’t be written by policy papers or conference speeches alone.
It will be written by people—leaders bold enough to set big visions, move first, and build bridges that cross borders.
At OREL IT and Orange Electric, we believe this is our moment to step up. That’s why we’re welcoming over 600 influential leaders from across Asia for the Global Business Forum in Colombo—not to sit through another round of keynotes, but to spark partnerships, launch pilots, and put ideas into action. it’s one more step toward shaping Asia’s Next Growth Chapter with Sri Lanka at the heart of it.
“We’re not just hosting delegates, we’re hosting possibilities,” says Kushan Kodituwakku, Managing Director of the OREL Group. “It’s about connecting ambition with innovation to unlock growth across borders.”
Why the Private Sector Must Lead
Governments create frameworks. But business creates the movement.
-
Speed & accountability: We can align capital, talent, and technology around outcomes fast.
-
Scalable innovation: Prove value in one market, replicate it across many.
-
Momentum attracts momentum: Private-sector action pulls in public investment, development finance, and academic partnerships.
“Regional growth won’t happen from the sidelines,” says Upendra Pieris, CEO of OREL IT. “Private-sector vision must lead, because when we lead, we create momentum that governments and institutions can build on.”
Sri Lanka: Asia’s Next Growth Chapter and Innovation Hub
We sit in a unique place—both geographically and digitally. Our advantage isn’t just our location. It’s our ability to connect smart infrastructure with technology-powered transformation so growth happens faster, and for more people.
That’s the foundation of our vision for Sri Lanka as a launchpad for Asia’s next growth Chapter—a place where industries, governments, and entrepreneurs can design, test, and scale solutions that shape the future of the region.
Together, we bridge the physical and the digital—from the grid to the cloud, the factory to the data lake, citizen services to cybersecurity—so organizations can modernize without disruption.
From Conversation to Outcomes
This platform is more than a partnership moment. It’s a signal—to the region and to ourselves—that Sri Lanka is ready to take part in Asia’s next growth chapter. When the private sector steps forward with clarity and conviction, it creates the momentum others rally behind. That’s how ecosystems grow. That’s how regions transform.
