In a strategic move to expand its presence across the country, Sri Lanka’s leading taxi-hailing app Pickme officially launched its brand in the city of Kandy on 15 July.

The official launch came after Pickme commenced its operations in Kandy one year back, as part of a soft launch.

The official Kandy launch at the Kandy City Center was graced by Pickme Chairman Ajit Gunewarden­e, Chief Executive Officer Jiffry Zulfer, board members and Pickme employees. Celebrated vocal artists also performed at the official launch and entertaine­d the participat­ing crowd, making it a memorable evening.

Speaking at the event, Pickme Chairman Ajit Gunewarden­e said, “We are enabling Sri Lankan driver entreprene­urs to grow personally and profession­ally by building a robust ecosystem via Pickme and the app directly fuels the growth of mobility in Sri Lanka. Bringing our home-grown startup’s best practices and services to the Central Province by opening an office in Kandy further strengthen­s our expansion plans in Sri Lanka. We are absolutely thrilled to be in Kandy and looking forward to nurture the city’s growing driver entreprene­ur community through Pickme.”

After the launch, Pickme introduced exciting promotiona­l pricing for its Kandy passengers and the company will be rolling out several other exclusive offers for Kandy during the upcoming months. The new Pickme office is located at No.07, Primrose Road, Kandy.
