Ascentic embarks on culture-focused growth

Having forayed into Sri Lanka’s fast-paced technology solutions arena just a little over three years ago, Ascentic is gearing up to embrace its existing culture and pursue an ambitious growth strategy to be recognized as a workplace where tech professionals would love to work for.

Since its inception in 2017 the company has had a steady growth with a positive outlook for continuous expansion. And for the upcoming year, the recruitment of talented and curious engineers is only expected to increase to keep up with the demand.

Ascentic’s founders Anna Kalm and Patrik Alm moved to Sri Lanka in 2016 determined to build an outstanding company. “Sweden is embarking on a rigorous technological drive. Though there are great developers in Sweden, they are just not enough in numbers.”

Ascentic is also planning on various initiatives to uplift the industry especially by encouraging and fostering empowerment among women. The ‘Women in Tech’ is one such planned initiative, a networking forum for women who aspire to be an expert or leader in the tech industry in Sri Lanka. Women at Ascentic make up half of its positions in management with around 31pct of them in the crew, with plans to further increase this figure.
