Appoints Jeevan Gnanam as Managing Director<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigiri.Ai founded by Lasitha Gunasinghe has introduced a groundbreaking development for Sri Lanka\u2019s digital landscape: the first-ever Sinhala and native Tamil Large Language Models (LLMs). This pioneering step brings advanced natural language processing to local languages, offering new levels of accessibility and engagement for Sinhala and Tamil speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment of Jeevan Gnanam as Managing Director is set to drive this vision forward. Known for his leadership in tech and digital transformation, Gnanam\u2019s expertise will be invaluable in establishing Sigiri.Ai as a leader. His strategic direction is expected to help Sigiri.Ai bridge linguistic divides and enhance digital inclusivity in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m honored to join Sigiri.Ai at such a transformative moment,\u201d Gnanam said. \u201cOur Sinhala and native Tamil language models will allow Sri Lankans to interact with technology in ways that truly reflect their cultural identity, making digital experiences more relevant and inclusive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guidance from Board Advisors Lasitha Gunasinghe and Kasun Gunasinghe<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board of advisors will consist of Lasitha Gunasinghe and Kasun Gunasinghe known for their expertise in building Large Language models, will play key roles in steering Sigiri.Ai\u2019s initiatives. Their insights are expected to be instrumental in Sigiri.Ai\u2019s mission to transform language processing for Sri Lankan users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Significance of Sinhala and Tamil Language Models<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch of these language models is a major step toward digital inclusivity. Historically, most AI models have been tailored to global languages like English, limiting access for speakers of regional languages. Sigiri.Ai\u2019s Sinhala and Tamil LLMs are designed to understand and respond to text in these languages, offering new opportunities for local industries in customer service, content creation, education, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These models will make it possible for Sri Lankans to engage with technology in their native languages, enhancing user experiences and making technology more accessible. It\u2019s a significant step toward a digital ecosystem that respects and reflects Sri Lanka\u2019s unique cultural and linguistic heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigiri.Ai\u2019s Vision for the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Lasitha Gunasinghe and Jeevan Gnanam\u2019s leadership, Sigiri.Ai aims to further develop these language models, with potential advancements in voice recognition, sentiment analysis, and localized content generation for Sinhala and Tamil. The company\u2019s long-term vision is to establish a foundation for AI innovation that meets the unique needs of Sri Lanka and can be adapted across other regions with similar linguistic diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigiri.Ai\u2019s commitment to creating culturally relevant technology will empower local businesses and communities, ensuring that Sri Lanka\u2019s digital transformation reflects its people and their languages. In Gnanam\u2019s words, \u201cThis is just the beginning. We\u2019re building technology that honors our heritage and prepares us for a digitally inclusive future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this launch, Sigiri.Ai is not only advancing AI technology but also paving the way for a digitally inclusive Sri Lanka where everyone can engage and thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
