Licensed by the Board of Investment under NEXT Holdings L.L.C.-FZ, the office occupies the 24th floor of the East Tower at the World Trade Center, Colombo.
Sri Lanka’s strategic location and technically adept workforce made it an ideal choice for this hub.
NEXT Ventures Lanka will deliver critical BPO support, spanning customer support, payroll services, technical assistance, and research and development, to strengthen NEXT’s global fintech operations.
The launch event, held on April 24, drew guests from Dialog, SLT, Envoy Ortus Group, Overseas Realty Ceylon, Commercial Bank, Sampath Bank, and ACMI Group, many of whom have signed strategic partnership agreements with NEXT Ventures Lanka.
The ribbon cutting ceremony, led by CEO Syed Abdullah Jayed, set the stage for a discussion on regional collaboration and long-term operational synergies.
“Every time I visit Sri Lanka, I’m struck by the people, their culture, work ethic, and determination.
Choosing Colombo as a global hub was an obvious choice,” said Syed Abdullah Jayed, Chief Executive Officer of NEXT Ventures.
“This launch positions us to better serve our clients worldwide and drive exponential growth.”
The new office offers panoramic views of the coastline and cityscape, promoting mental wellness and creativity. Intuitive workstations, recreational areas, and collaborative zones support over 200 team members in an environment designed to spark innovation and teamwork.
“This hub will excel in customer support, payroll services, technical assistance, and R&D,” said Surith Devagiri, Head of People & Culture at NEXT Ventures Lanka.
“By equipping our teams with advanced tools and expertise, we ensure consistent service quality and continuous improvement.”
Looking ahead, NEXT Ventures Lanka will leverage automation and artificial intelligence to streamline operations and enhance customer solutions, while maintaining a people-first approach that enables teams to collaborate, innovate, and deliver impactful fintech services.
