Continuing its commitment to bringing convenient retail and financial solutions closer to communities across Sri Lanka, FLi Super, the supermarket chain of FLi Trading, a strategic business unit of Group Future Life Holdings, has expanded its islandwide presence with the opening of its newest outlet in Karandeniya.
The new outlet introduces FLi Super’s integrated retail concept, combining a fully equipped supermarket, a dedicated FLiCo electronics corner, and the Group’s flagship microfinance brand, Future Life Investments Ltd. (FLi), under one roof.
The opening attracted a large gathering of customers from Karandeniya and surrounding areas, marking another significant milestone in FLi Super’s expansion journey while reinforcing the Group’s vision of delivering greater convenience, accessibility and opportunities to local communities.
Customers can purchase daily essentials while benefiting from exclusive interest-free five-installment payment schemes for selected products, a unique offering supported by Future Life Investments (FLi). The outlet also provides customers with convenient access to responsible financial solutions through FLi’s services available at the same location.
Commenting on the expansion, Director Operations of FLi Trading, Hansa Jayawardhana, said the opening of the Karandeniya outlet reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to creating reliable and customer-focused retail experiences.
“Our vision has always been to create convenient, reliable and customer-focused experiences wherever we operate. The opening of our 19th supermarket in Karandeniya reflects this commitment while bringing greater convenience and value to the community,” he said.
Director Operations of Future Life Investments, Janaka Kumara, highlighted the importance of the integrated concept in supporting communities beyond traditional retail and financial services.
“This concept reflects the Future Life vision of empowering communities beyond conventional retail or finance. Customers can fulfil their daily shopping needs, access flexible payment options and receive responsible financial solutions under one roof. It is about creating opportunities, supporting entrepreneurs and helping families build a stronger financial future,” he said.
Speaking on the importance of customer relationships, Head of Human Resources of FLi Trading, Indika Bandara, said FLi Super focuses on creating meaningful experiences beyond product offerings.
“At FLi Super, we believe a supermarket is not only about the products we offer but also about the experience we create,” he said.
With the opening of its Karandeniya outlet, FLi Super continues to strengthen its nationwide retail network while delivering innovative shopping experiences and financial solutions tailored to the evolving needs of Sri Lankan consumers.
Finance Ministry Expands Digital Transformation with Online Document and Hall Management Systems
The Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development has introduced two new digital initiatives aimed at enhancing efficiency, transparency and productivity across the public sector as part of the Government’s ongoing digital transformation drive.
An awareness programme on the newly introduced online document management system was conducted on 28 July at the Ministry Auditorium to familiarise officials with the digital handling of letters received through post and hand delivery.
The programme was conducted through both physical and online sessions for Directors General of departments located within the Treasury premises, their Personal Assistants, and officers attached to the Ministry’s Administration and Postal Divisions.
According to the Ministry, the new system will improve workflow efficiency by allowing authorised officials to access correspondence immediately after documents are uploaded, reducing delays in document circulation and strengthening internal coordination.
In parallel, the Ministry also launched an introductory training programme on an online meeting hall reservation system for officers representing departments within the Treasury premises. The sessions were conducted through both in-person and virtual platforms.
The new reservation system is expected to simplify the process of booking meeting facilities, provide greater visibility of scheduled meetings across departments and reduce reliance on paper-based documentation.
Both initiatives were introduced as part of the second day of short-term activities organised by the Ministry in line with National Integrity Week, conducted under the national campaign “A Culture of Integrity – A Clean Sri Lanka.”
Through these digital solutions, the Ministry aims to strengthen modern governance practices while creating a more efficient, transparent and technology-driven public service environment.
