Transforming Sri Lanka's IT Leadership Through Excellence
Our mission is to cultivate the next generation of IT project management leaders who will drive Sri Lanka's digital transformation and technological advancement.
Back to HomeOur Story: Building Sri Lanka's Technology Future
Founded in 2016 by a consortium of Sri Lankan IT industry veterans and international project management experts, TechLead Academy emerged from a critical need to bridge the skills gap in technology project leadership across the island nation.
From Vision to Reality
Our journey began when leading technology companies in Colombo, Kandy, and Galle identified a critical shortage of qualified IT project managers capable of handling complex digital transformation initiatives. Traditional project management training wasn't addressing the unique challenges of technology projects in the Sri Lankan context.
What started as a pilot program with 25 students has evolved into Sri Lanka's most comprehensive IT project management education platform, having graduated over 500 certified professionals who now lead technology initiatives across banking, telecommunications, e-commerce, and software development sectors.
