Dialog Named Sri Lanka’s ‘Most Loved Service and Telecommunications Brand’ in LMD Brands Annual Survey
Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka’s leading connectivity provider, has once again been recognised as the country’s Most Loved Brand in the Service and Telecommunications sectors while also securing a position among the Top Corporate Brands in the LMD Brands Annual 2026.

Marking the company’s third consecutive year at the top of both categories, the recognition reflects Dialog’s continued commitment to enriching the lives of Sri Lankans and supporting enterprises through technology-driven solutions while creating lasting value for customers, communities and the nation.

The accolades were awarded through the LMD Brands Annual survey, independently conducted by PepperCube Consultants on behalf of Media Services. The survey gathered responses from 400 readers across Sri Lanka, representing diverse demographic and geographic segments, to identify brands that have built strong consumer trust, loyalty and emotional connections.

Commenting on the achievement, Dialog Axiata PLC Group Chief Marketing Officer Lasantha Theverapperuma said:

"Being recognised as Sri Lanka’s Most Loved Brand across both the Service and Telecommunications sectors is a meaningful endorsement of the trust and confidence that Sri Lankans continue to place in Dialog. This recognition reflects our commitment to understanding and serving the evolving needs of our customers while expanding access to digital connectivity, services and opportunities. As we continue to innovate and grow, we remain focused on creating value for communities and supporting Sri Lanka’s digital and socioeconomic progress."

The recognition highlights Dialog’s continued investments in innovation, customer experience and digital transformation, including the expansion of 5G connectivity, the introduction of AI-powered digital experiences and initiatives aimed at improving access to digital services nationwide.

Beyond connectivity, Dialog continues to contribute to national development through programmes that support communities and livelihoods. Initiatives such as Govi Mithuru, which provides AI-powered agricultural advisory services to more than one million farmers, and Shishyadhara, which has supported subsidy distribution for over 450,000 underprivileged students, demonstrate the company’s commitment to creating meaningful social impact.
