Virtusa Reaffirms Long-Term Commitment to Sri Lanka as a Key Global Hub

Virtusa Corporation, a leading institute in digital engineering and technology services, recently emphasized its long-standing commitment to Sri Lanka as a significant part of its global delivery network. 

This was highlighted during a visit by senior global executives to Sri Lanka, showcasing the country’s importance to Virtusa’s strategic growth and talent development plans.

A delegation of senior Virtusa leaders, including Chief Financial Officer Amit Bajoria, Chief People Officer Lori Mullane, and Head of Technology Service Lines Venkatesan Vijayaraghavan, visited the company’s Sri Lankan offices.

 Their engagement with local leadership, spearheaded by Sri Lanka’s new Joint Country Heads, Denver De Zylva and Shehan Warusavithana, demonstrated the company’s dedication to strengthening its operations in the region.

The leadership team participated in a lively town hall meeting attended by 1,200 local associates, discussing the company’s future plans and ongoing initiatives. 

This visit also highlighted Virtusa’s efforts to invest in local talent and infrastructure, which are seen as vital to maintaining its competitive edge in the global technology market.

Chief People Officer Lori Mullane, in her first visit to Sri Lanka, underscored the company’s commitment to cultivating and retaining top-tier talent. She discussed Virtusa’s HR transformation program, which employs advanced technology to create a more personalized and employee-focused work experience.

 “Our HR platform, utilizing data analytics and AI insights, has significantly boosted employee engagement and satisfaction while supporting diversity and inclusion objectives,” Mullane noted. 

She also emphasized the company’s dedication to continuous skill development, ensuring that both local and global talent remain prepared for evolving industry demands.

Sri Lanka plays a crucial role in Virtusa’s global technology operations, according to CFO Amit Bajoria. He reiterated the company’s dedication to equipping Sri Lankan employees with the skills and tools needed to meet the challenges of the rapidly changing tech landscape.

 “Sri Lanka remains a cornerstone of our global capabilities, and we are committed to making substantial investments in our people and technology here,” Bajoria stated. 

He added that the company’s focus goes beyond immediate business needs, aiming for long-term sustainable growth in the region.

Virtusa’s commitment extends to environmental and community welfare initiatives as well. The company has been active in efforts to restore local ecosystems, such as the revival of Sri Lanka’s mangrove forests. 

These projects have gained international recognition, including acknowledgment from the United Nations as a ‘World Flagship for Restoration’. Beyond environmental sustainability, Virtusa also supports local communities through projects aimed at education, healthcare, and infrastructure development.

With ongoing investments in its Sri Lankan operations, Virtusa aims to solidify its position as a leader in digital engineering while making a positive impact on the communities in which it operates.
