Sri Lanka has entered the global artificial intelligence (AI) arena with a dynamic private sector push, marking a new chapter in the island’s tech evolution. Amid a rapidly growing innovation ecosystem, homegrown ventures are stepping forward with world-class ambition—none more so than Futurity, a trailblazing AI-native studio based in Colombo that’s redefining how work gets done in the digital age.
The launch of Futurity signals a powerful shift in Sri Lanka’s technological aspirations—from outsourcing to original innovation. With a vision to deliver globally scalable AI solutions, this startup exemplifies how local expertise and creativity can place Sri Lanka firmly on the global AI map.
Futurity is the country’s first AI-native research and development studio, dedicated exclusively to crafting intelligent workplace solutions that seamlessly integrate into enterprise operations. Built by a multidisciplinary team of engineers, designers, and strategists, Futurity was founded on the belief that technology should be invisible, intelligence should be effortless, and work should simply flow.
“We’re not building AI to replace people,” explains Venuka Wijethunga, Co-Founder and Head of Product Strategy. “We’re building tools that support people—quietly and intuitively. Our goal is to remove everyday workplace friction, from repetitive searches to rewriting the same content or answering the same queries repeatedly.”
Futurity’s AI systems are crafted to blend into workflows, not disrupt them. The studio’s guiding principle—Effortless Intelligence—reflects this ethos. Rather than adding layers of complexity, Futurity designs adaptive solutions that anticipate user needs, understand context, and enhance human performance.
The studio’s offerings span document intelligence, conversational AI interfaces, and AI-generated media, all tailored to eliminate repetitive work and enhance decision-making. Their flagship product, Omni, is an intelligent document orchestration tool built for modern teams. It promises to streamline access to critical information while quietly organizing knowledge behind the scenes.
Futurity is also positioning itself to compete globally. “We’re entering a $638 billion industry projected to surpass $3.6 trillion by 2034,” notes Supun Kaluarachchi, Co-Founder and Head of Business Intelligence. “There’s a clear demand for purpose-built, contextual AI tools. Our focus is on practical innovation—solutions that actually make work easier and more effective.”
While rooted in Sri Lanka’s vibrant tech community, Futurity’s ambitions are international. All products are validated locally but engineered for global scalability, allowing Sri Lankan-born innovations to address challenges in workplaces worldwide.
For Sri Lanka, Futurity is more than just a startup—it’s a signal that the country is ready to compete in the global AI race, driven by private ingenuity and a bold vision for the future of work.
