Ascentic celebrates 5 years of astounding success
Founded by Swedish duo Anna Kalm and Patrik Alm, fueled by a passion to help Swedish businesses find the IT competence they need through the dynamic talent pool in Sri Lanka, the Swe-Lankan software development company Ascentic celebrates five years of astounding growth and success.
Ascentic believes that Sri Lanka is undoubtedly among the top destinations to find a diverse pool of talent in IT. Since its humble beginnings the company has scaled up to a crew of almost 100 ambitious, creative, and fun-loving Ascenders and is today recognised as one of the best workplaces in Sri Lanka as well as Asia.
Ascentic is also expanding its reach across its main customer market Sweden. The organisation is today located in two of the larger regions of Sweden and expanding the presence both with Swedish and Sri Lankan
team members. The main source of business is building high-performing software development teams for small and midsized product companies with strong growth potential, but the first steps have also been taken towards starting up a new unit focusing commercializing inhouse built products.
Anna Kalm, Founder and CEO, looks back at the last 5 years with warmth “It’s been quite an exciting journey for all of us here at Ascentic. We have had highset targets from the start of the business, and I’m absolutely amazed with what we as a team have been able to accomplish. We have such an amazing crew that keeps striving for excellence – both in terms of the technical solutions we craft but also related to the workplace we are creating. Regardless of what challenges we face, knowing the strength and grit of our team I’m confident we will grow stronger from it and continue to thrive.”
Being an Ascender has many perks and benefits, such as lifelong learning opportunities, support for a healthy work-life balance, USD pegged compensation, comfy workspaces, a range of social activities among others including an international rotation programme where the Sri Lankan crew members get the opportunity to work onsite in Sweden.
