At VGO.LK, we embrace the transformative power of e-commerce, pioneering concepts such as B2C, B2B, C2B, and C2C to bring the world market to Sri Lanka's doorstep.

This prestigious honor, awarded on February 26, 2022, at the Bandaranaike Conference Hall in Colombo, is a testament to the impact of our work on Sri Lanka's economy and beyond.
With the support and guidance of esteemed scholars like Professor Vijitha Walpola and Professor Sisira Mangala Walpola, we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, strengthening our nation's economy through innovation and strategic thinking.
