Mitra Innovation is a technology innovation company based in the UK, Sri Lanka, and Australia. To celebrate its sixth year of success, it threw a party for its employees at the Jaic Hilton in Colombo, on Friday evening.

The party was attended by the three co-founders of Mitra Innovation – Ashok Suppiah (CEO), Derek Bell (COO) and Dammika Ganegama (MD) – as well as most the company’s directors and its 180-strong employee force, along with their husbands, wives or partners who also attended. Members of the UK team also flew out to Sri Lanka to join the celebration as well.

The party theme was ‘Tropical Fiesta’, and Mitra Innovation enjoyed an amazing night including a dinner, a dance and a Calypso band.

Mitra Innovation helps smart entrepreneurs, enterprises and public service organisations to accelerate innovative ideas into amazing global businesses or solutions, through product incubation, digital transformation, and integration services. The company also has expertise in WSO2 technologies and AWS.

The party was thrown as a celebration of success, because Mitra Innovation started from humble beginnings in 2012 with a skeleton staff, one office and two clients. It has now grown to a global organisation with an employee headcount of 180; key clients including Capital Alliance, Ramsay Healthcare and Travis Perkins; and five offices – three in Sri Lanka, an HQ in London, and an additional office in the UK.

It also has ambitious growth plans for 2018.

Ashok Suppiah says: “Mitra Innovation has come a long way since we began trading in 2012, and a huge part of this success is due to our passionate, dedicated and driven employees, both in the UK and Sri Lanka. We wanted to throw a party to say thank you to all our employees for their hard work and effort. It was a great event!”
