About
Built in Sri Lanka by the people you talk to.
A small studio led by its founder, working with a bench of trusted developers. We build websites, business systems and AI for Sri Lankan companies, we run companies of our own on the same software, and we look after everything we ship.
The name
Ceylon, and the i of AI.
Ceylai is short for Ceylon Artificial Intelligence & Digital Innovation Laboratories. The mark is a single drop, abstracted from the shape of the island, and it stands in for the dot on the i of Ceylai, which is also the i of AI.
It is black and white on purpose. A colour is a claim, and most technology companies make the same one. We would rather the work made ours.
The Ceylai group
One laboratory. The companies it builds.
Ceylai Labs writes the software. Our companies take it into particular industries, so what we build for a client has already been run as a business of our own.
- You are here
Ceylai Labs
The laboratory. Websites, business systems and AI, built and looked after in Sri Lanka.
Northlight (opens in a new tab)
Hospitality websites and photography. It photographs hotels and villas and builds the direct booking websites that take the reservation, so an agent does not.
Pandama.lk, ask us on WhatsApp (opens in a new tab)
Tutoring marketplace. A marketplace that matches Edexcel, Cambridge and IB students in Colombo with verified private teachers who come to their home.
How we work
Four habits, in every project.
You talk to the person building it
No account manager in between. The questions you ask on WhatsApp go to someone who can answer them.
Prices in writing, before we start
A fixed price, what is included and what is not, and the dates.
Small, useful steps
A website first, then the systems that make sense for your business, one at a time.
We stay after launch
Care plans exist because the real work on a website starts the day it goes live.
How we are built
Focused, on purpose.
A small studio led by its founder, working with a bench of trusted developers.
The person who plans your project is the person who builds it, and the one who answers when something needs to change. It is also why we publish our prices, put a date on every step and only promise what we control.
What we will not do
Four things, in writing.
- Discount to win work. The price is what the work costs.
- Take on a project we cannot look after once it is live.
- Invent results, reviews, clients or awards. You will not find any on this site.
- Hold your domain or your content back. Both are yours, and if you ever move on, we hand them over.
Where we are
Working with businesses across Sri Lanka.
Conversations, progress calls and training happen on WhatsApp and video calls, so you do not need to be near us.

Tell us what you need. We’ll tell you what it costs.
