Known as the "Oscar of the IT Arena", the APICTA Awards is the most influential ICT industry competition in the Asia-Pacific region. The selection of the nominees is based on their uniqueness, market potential, features, quality, and application. Each nominee had to pitch and was rigorously assessed by an international judging panel.
Arimac Digital Founder and CEO Chamira Jayasinghe said, “We are truly humbled and proud to have bagged the most number of awards at APICTA 2019. The people of Sri Lanka are endowed with abundant talent and ability. Our solutions were innovated and conceptualised entirely by local talent, proving the advantage of reducing brain drain and retaining local talent. The awards are a testament to their dedication, hard work and passion towards creating disruptive innovations. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the organising committee and jury delegation.”
