NEXT, a UAE-based fintech group, has announced the launch of NEXT Ventures Lanka Ltd., its newest operations and support hub in Asia. Licensed by the Board of Investment under NEXT Holdings L.L.C.-FZ, the office occupies the 24th floor of the East Tower at the World Trade Centre, Colombo.

Sri Lanka’s strategic location and technically adept workforce made it an ideal choice for this hub. NEXT Ventures Lanka will deliver critical BPO support, spanning customer support, payroll services, technical assistance, and research and development, to strengthen NEXT’s global fintech operations.

The launch event, held on 24 April, drew guests from Dialog, SLT, Envoy Ortus Group, Overseas Realty Ceylon, Commercial Bank, Sampath Bank, and ACMI Group, many of whom have signed strategic partnership agreements with NEXT Ventures Lanka. The ribboncutting ceremony, led by CEO Syed Abdullah Jayed, set the stage for a discussion on regional collaboration and long-term operational synergies.

“Every time I visit Sri Lanka, I’m struck by the people, their culture, work ethic, and determination. Choosing Colombo as a global hub was an obvious choice,” said NEXT Ventures Chief Executive Officer Syed Abdullah Jayed. “This launch positions us to better serve our clients worldwide and drive exponential growth.”
