Marking a major milestone in its growth trajectory, Sri Lankan technology company Soft Gallery (Pvt) Ltd recently celebrated its sixth anniversary alongside the official opening of its modern new office space. Positioned not merely as a real estate expansion, the move represents the company’s transition into its next phase of enterprise growth, driven by deep investments in artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent automation, advanced HR analytics, and global market expansion.
Founded on the principle of building reliable, scalable, and genuinely useful enterprise technology, Soft Gallery has evolved from a targeted software initiative into an established technology firm. Its flagship HR technology platform, Gallery HR, is currently trusted by approximately 350 client organizations across seven countries, streamlining workforce operations for enterprises, mid-market businesses, and high-growth startups alike.
In its initial years, Soft Gallery prioritized building robust architecture, user-centric functionality, and scalable infrastructure over quick commercial scale. That product-first strategy established Gallery HR as an enterprise-grade platform capable of solving complex workforce management and HR challenges.
The new office serves as a physical testament to the company’s sustained momentum and long-term commitment to its clients, technology, and workforce. It sets the stage for a bold global initiative: expanding Gallery HR beyond Sri Lanka into high-growth international markets, with a dedicated push into key African territories, East Asian and Middle East Regions, alongside other emerging enterprise technology hubs.
To power this next growth phase, Soft Gallery is enhancing Gallery HR’s core capability framework by integrating practical AI and automated workflows designed to reduce administrative overhead, improve workforce decision making, and create friction-free digital employee experiences.
Dilantha Perera, Founder, Director and Chief Executive Officer of Soft Gallery said, “Six years ago, we started with a simple idea and a belief that we could build meaningful technology from Sri Lanka. Today, Gallery HR is trusted by around 350 organizations, but we see this as only the beginning. Our new office represents our confidence in the future and our commitment to investing further in our people, technology, and product. Our ambition is to make Gallery HR simpler, smarter, and increasingly AI-driven, while building a platform capable of competing beyond Sri Lanka. I am incredibly grateful to our team, customers, partners, and co-founders who have believed in this journey and helped us reach this milestone.”
Echoing these sentiments, Susith De Silva, Co-Founder, Director and Chief Operating Officer, highlighted the strategic contribution of early leadership and investors, noting that early guidance, foundational capital, and steadfast belief in the engineering talent enabled the business to build a truly international-grade platform.As workplaces worldwide increasingly embrace data-driven decision-making, automation and artificial intelligence to transform people management, Soft Gallery is positioning Gallery HR beyond a traditional HR software solution, evolving it into an all-in-one HR technology, intelligence and employee experience platform that brings together core HR operations, automation, advanced analytics and AI-driven capabilities for modern organizations.
The company’s technology roadmap focuses on stripping away non-value-adding corporate administration through practical AI applications, allowing business leaders, HR directors, and enterprise teams to focus on organizational culture, talent development, and strategic growth. With a strengthened operational foundation, an expanding customer base, and clear regional expansion targets, Soft Gallery enters its seventh year poised to showcase Sri Lankan technology engineering on the global stage.
