Colombo, Sri Lanka — Lanka Data Net (LDN) has unveiled a next-generation data infrastructure designed to transform how information is collected, connected, and delivered across Sri Lanka through its intelligent layer, while highlighting a series of recent milestones achieved together with Chat2Find.
The platform aims to create a unified intelligence layer that brings together fragmented public, commercial, and institutional datasets into one interoperable ecosystem. Built around the needs of citizens, businesses, researchers, and policymakers, the infrastructure is expected to improve access to trustworthy information while enabling smarter national decision-making.
Citizen Centric Approach
According to Lanka Data Net, traditional data systems in Sri Lanka remain scattered across departments, agencies, and legacy databases, making it difficult for users to find accurate and timely information. The company says its new infrastructure addresses this challenge by connecting multiple sources into a searchable, AI-ready network capable of delivering meaningful results in real time.
Unlike conventional data platforms that focus only on databases, Lanka Data Net says its model begins with citizen needs and real-world questions. The system is designed to help users access information relating to government services, entitlements, business registrations, compliance records, legal and regulatory matters, public spending, development projects, jobs, markets, economic opportunities, and environmental or community updates.
The infrastructure also incorporates connected data mapping across institutions, intelligent search systems, AI-powered question answering, secure APIs for enterprise and developer use, multilingual support in Sinhala, Tamil, and English, and privacy-focused governance controls. Industry observers say the trilingual design could play an important role in improving digital inclusion across Sri Lanka.
The launch follows a number of recent achievements by Lanka Data Net and Chat2Find. In April 2026, the organizations announced the public release of the Chat2Find LLM, described as a first-ever trilingual AI model built on one of Sri Lanka’s largest trilingual datasets, with availability through open source platforms for developers and researchers.
Earlier in April, Chat2Find also announced the publication of a 255 million+ token trilingual conversational corpuscovering Sinhala, Tamil, Singlish, and Tanglish, released under open licensing to support continual pre-training and fine-tuning of local AI systems. The move was seen as an important step for Sri Lanka’s emerging sovereign AI ecosystem.
Lanka Data Net says the platform is intended not only for public users but also for businesses and institutions. Companies will be able to use verified datasets for market intelligence, due diligence, compliance checks, and investment research, while policymakers can use aggregated insights to improve planning, identify service gaps, and measure performance more effectively.
The company also noted the development of specialized infrastructure components including sector-focused repositories such as Lanka Law, Lanka Tax, and Lanka BIZ, alongside Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models designed to deliver source-linked answers grounded in verified national data rather than generic internet content.
A spokesperson said the long-term goal is to build Sri Lanka’s most trusted digital data backbone. “When data becomes connected, searchable, multilingual, and intelligent, it creates value for every citizen, every institution, and every business.”
With continued expansion planned across datasets, APIs, domain AI experts, and large language models, the launch marks a significant step in Sri Lanka’s digital transformation and AI readiness journey.
