The Fleximind team from Sri Lanka- an all girls’ team- did the island proud by winning ‘silver’ at the Asia pacific ICT Alliance Awards 2024 in Brunei.

At the NBQSA awards held in October 2024, the Sri Lankan section of the BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, won the Gold Medal surpassing all competitive teams from Sri Lankan Universities. 

Those who represented this winning team (from SLIIT Faculty of Computing) were Vithya Sangkavi, Kaushani Wijesundara, Lochani Jayawardhane and Arani Wijerathne.

These young women, through their innovation, demonstrated how far determination, skill, and a collaborative spirit can take you on the global stage.
The APICTA Awards are known for their focus on international collaboration, technological innovation, and the development of indigenous ICT solutions with global potential. The opportunity to compete on such a platform gave team Fleximind the ideal setting to exhibit their capabilities. They did so with immense poise and brilliance. Their success is a proud testament to the rising prominence of Sri Lankan talent in the global technology sector.
Their supervisor was Dr. Dilshan De Silva, and the supportive faculty at SLIIT, who guided and encouraged the team throughout their journey.

Team Fleximind’s achievement delivers a powerful message to young women everywhere that with dedication, innovation and a strong support network, no dream is too big. Their victory serves as an inspiring example of how young women can break barriers, contribute to global innovation, and lead the way in shaping the future of technology.
