GOOD TO KNOW

Questions we're asked a lot.

Our headquarters and engineering team are in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Japan is our main market, and we are expanding into Europe and the Middle East.

Software engineers, QA specialists, project managers and business colleagues, led by founders Nilan Meegoda and Mohammed Rishard. The people directory introduces our members and their areas of expertise.

We take on outcomes, not hours. We own problems end to end, from the first whiteboard to the version still running in production a year later, and we're judged on getting hard things right.

You own the IP we deliver, with code in your repositories from day one and a full handover. Generic accelerators such as Sora AI Core are licensed for reuse where applicable. Data processing terms and hosting are agreed before work starts.

Our work has appeared on TV Tokyo's WBS. We exhibited at Japan IT Week Spring 2025 in the Sri Lanka Pavilion with JICA's exhibition support and joined the BMZ-funded IPD Selling Mission in Germany and Sweden in 2026. These are coverage and participation, not certifications or endorsements. The Trust Center links to the sources and explains our ISO-aligned frameworks and certification status.

Both. Delivery is bilingual, so nothing is lost in translation between your team and ours.

A short conversation. Tell us the problem; we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right team and what a first phase looks like.

LET'S TALK

Would you rather own an outcome than close a ticket?

We hire engineers, testers and delivery leads who answer for what ships. See the open roles, or meet the people you would be working with.

Engineering happens in Colombo, for clients in Japan, Europe and the Middle East.
