Adventus launches new headquarters in Colombo
Adventus, a global leader in international student placement services has increased its investment in Sri Lanka with the unveiling of a new state-of-the-art headquarters in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The chief guest at the opening ceremony was Australian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka and Maldives David Holly, who officially inaugurated the new headquarters located at level 1, 142 Bauddhaloka Mawatha, Colombo 04.
With a mission to help students discover a better life through the power of education, Adventus has rapidly grown globally, with a workforce now surpassing 100 people in eight offices around the world including the new headquarters in Sri Lanka and offices in countries including Australia, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Singapore, UK and Vietnam.
The new Sri Lankan headquarters will allow a 120 strong workforce to expand into their new premise supporting global operations. At the launch, Adventus also announced the much-anticipated release of a revolutionary new technology called Adventus Connect, an intelligent Platform-as-a-service (Paas).
