At OREL IT, we believe innovation isn’t just about staying ahead of the curve. It’s about reshaping industries, creating real-world impact, and building a digitally empowered future that serves humanity. From pioneering AI retail innovation to driving transformative platforms across industries, we’re focused on technology that creates meaningful change.
That’s why being recognised as “Most Innovative Service Provider of the Year” at the 26th Presidential Export Awards (PEA) 2024 feels especially significant. Organised by the Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB), the PEA is Sri Lanka’s highest national honour for exporters, and for us, this award is a reflection of purpose in action.
The ceremony, held on the 7th of February 2025 at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH), was graced by His Excellency Anura Kumara Dissanayake, President of Sri Lanka. For us, this moment was more than an accolade. It was a celebration of our mission, our people, and the platforms that drive meaningful change globally.
