Lanka India Business Association launched in Sri Lanka

Santosh Menon

Lanka India Business Association (LIBA) is now in operation in Sri Lanka to further enhance the already close ties between Indian and Sri Lankan businesses.

Santosh Menon, President of LIBA said, “Sri Lanka has forever been a global trading powerhouse. Its high-quality cinnamon, pepper and more recently ‘Ceylon Tea’ has been sought after commodities around the world. Its high-quality skill at garment making makes it a chosen supplier for some of the world’s most fastidious brands. 

The time has come to engage more actively with the Indian market and find the right ways to exploit it. We formed LIBA to foster and facilitate closer and more meaningful links between Indian and Sri Lankan businesses.”

Santosh Jha, High Commissioner of India to Sri Lanka said, “India and Sri Lanka have longstanding civilizational links, with economic and commercial relationship naturally being an integral part of it. I look forward to LIBA further strengthening and fostering closer ties among the business community from both countries. I welcome this initiative and wish Santosh Menon, President of LIBA and the founding members of the Governing Council much success in achieving their goals.” 

The governing council represents very senior professionals and business people from a myriad of industries and backgrounds in Sri Lanka. Both from a gender context as well as from an India/ Sri Lanka context, it’s a diverse and inclusive team. 

Membership to LIBA is now open. Free Membership (one month only) can be obtained by writing to us at [email protected].
