Hemas Group Sri Lanka sets sights on Africa

Diversified conglomerate, Hemas Group Sri Lanka, has taken a significant step towards expanding its global footprint, and is looking at Africa. To explore prospects in this regard, a high-profile delegation from Hemas, led by Kasturi Chellaraija Wilson CEO, was hosted by High Commissioner Kana Kananathan at the High Commission office in Nairobi, Kenya.

The purpose of their visit was to explore opportunities and express their intent to expand their operations into Kenya and other parts of Africa. The Hemas Group, known for its diversified interests spanning healthcare, leisure, transportation, and more, has firmly established itself as a major player in the Sri Lankan business landscape. With a rich history dating back to 1948, the company has earned a stellar reputation for innovation, sustainability, and commitment to excellence.

During their visit, the Hemas team engaged in fruitful discussions with key stakeholders in Kenya, outlining their ambitious plans for African expansion. Their keen interest in the African market stems from the continent’s burgeoning economic opportunities and untapped potential. Africa, with its dynamic consumer markets and rapidly evolving business landscape, presents an exciting frontier for companies seeking growth and diversification.

Wilson, while emphasising the importance of building mutually beneficial partnerships in the region, conveyed a vision of collaborative ventures that leverage local expertise and resources, ultimately fostering sustainable development and growth.

High Commissioner Kananathan   assured the Hemas Group the full support and assistance in establishing their businesses in Kenya and other parts of the African region. 

The collaboration between the Hemas Group Sri Lanka and Kenya, as well as other African nations, promises to be a mutually beneficial endeavour that will foster economic growth and cooperation between Sri Lanka and Kenya.
