Our Story: Innovating Technology R&D Since 2012
Aspirations I-Lab was founded in 2012 to address complex technology challenges through agile, customer-centric R&D solutions. The journey began when Dr. Inzu Weerakkody and Deepamala Abeysekera, leveraging their combined expertise in technology and business, partnered with the Aspirations Group to establish a specialized tech lab. This lab became the exclusive technology partner for StageYou, Inc., a pioneering media-tech company incubated at the University of Cambridge, UK. The collaboration resulted in the development of an award-winning media-tech infrastructure, setting the foundation for Aspirations I-Lab’s ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions across multiple industries.
