How We Built SewaLanka: A Service Marketplace for Sri Lanka

๐Ÿ“‹ Case Study

SewaLanka - Service Discovery Marketplace

A centralized platform connecting everyday Sri Lankan consumers with reliable local service providers across the country.

๐ŸŽฏ The Challenge

Sri Lanka lacked a centralized platform for finding reliable local services. Need a plumber in Kandy, a caterer in Colombo, or an electrician in Galle? There was no single place to search, compare, and read reviews. That's the problem SewaLanka was built to solve.
