Ultra modern technology hub in Trace City
LSE Group to create 400 highly skilled technologists:
The London Stock Exchange Group’s Business Services division (LSEG
BSL) in Sri Lanka will soon open its new headquarters in the Expert City
precincts, the former Tripoli Market.
The new Business Services division in Sri Lanka will provide support
to the Group’s operating entities across the globe. The venture will
provide the best and brightest technology talent in the country with the
opportunity to be a part of an ever expanding, innovative knowledge hub.
The new LSEG facility will directly employ 400 people in
high-technology jobs, with an additional 1,200 employed indirectly.
These employees will provide technical support services that are
central to the Group’s global network. LSEG’s investment and recruitment
drive in Sri Lanka will also provide an immediate boost for the IT
sector of the country. Head of Business Services Colombo, LSEG, Murali
Subrahmanyan said, “Our plans to establish a 26,000 sq ft,
state-of-the-art facility in the heart of Colombo, reaffirms our
commitment to the technology sector of Sri Lanka.
Our new facility at Expert City will employ some of the best talent
in the industry, and it is important for us that all our facilities
reflect these high standards. The launch of this new technology centre
represents an exciting opportunity for the local population to join a
truly global organisation.”
The proposed new 26,000 sq ft premises would complement LSEG BSL’s
current incubation hub which is also housed at Expert City.
