Colombo Times proudly celebrates its 7th anniversary today by introducing a new dimension to Sri Lankan digital news reporting that offers the experience of impartial and inte ational standards in digital media.

Colombotimes.lk, a website owned by Colombo Times Network Pvt. Ltd. of the CT ONE Group, was launched on 10th October 2018, seven years ago today, filling the gap in the country's credible and rich digital media.

The theme of this year's Colombo Times 7th anniversary is 'Colombo Times Sapthabhishekaya.'

Colombo Times Founder and CEO Sajeewa De Silva expressed the following thoughts on this 'Colombo Times Sapthabhishekaya' anniversary celebration.

'Seven years ago, Colombo Times began as a bold vision - to reshape how Sri Lankans experience digital news. What started as a small, passionate team has today grown into one of the country’s most trusted and forward-thinking media platforms, reaching millions every month.

This jou ey has been built on dedication, teamwork, and an unbreakable belief in the power of truth and storytelling. Our newsroom, content creators, and technical teams have worked tirelessly to keep our audience informed, inspired, and connected.

As we celebrate our 7th anniversary, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors and partners for believing in our mission, to our provincial jou alists for being the voice from every co er of the nation, and to our well-wishers and loyal readers who continue to fuel our growth and purpose.

The next chapter of Colombo Times will be even more dynamic - with stronger content, greater reach, and a deeper impact on Sri Lanka’s media landscape.

Here’s to seven years of passion, perseverance, and progress - and to many more ahead as we continue to lead the digital media revolution together
