Xapi, the Singapore-based unified governance platform developed to meet the evolving demands of modern enterprises, has expanded its presence to Sri Lanka with a forward-looking brand identity and a clearly defined global go-to-market strategy. With its roots in Singapore and a significant leadership presence in Sri Lanka, Xapi is positioned to lead data, API and AI governance initiatives across international markets.


The announcement was made at “Beyond X,” a brand showcase hosted by parent company X Venture, marking a significant milestone in the platform’s growth journey. The event unveiled a reimagined product direction and a refined brand identity aligned with Xapi’s core vision of delivering effortless and intelligent governance for businesses operating in increasingly complex regulatory environments.


Amid heightened global regulatory scrutiny on AI ethics, data privacy and cross-border digital infrastructure, Xapi’s enhanced platform is designed to support enterprises in complying with evolving legislative frameworks, including Sri Lanka’s Personal Data Protection Act and the European Union’s AI Governance Act.


To support this strategic expansion, X Venture has appointed specialised go-to-market consultancy Cyaniq as its strategic partner to lead Xapi’s brand identity design, go-to-market strategy development and market entry execution across Sri Lanka and Europe.


“Xapi was founded by a Sri Lankan-led team and has primarily operated out of Singapore, one of Asia’s leading digital innovation hubs,” said Prabath Ariyarthna, Co-Founder of Xapi and X Venture.


“Following our success in the Singaporean market, we are now scaling operations in Sri Lanka and the EU, where regulatory clarity is increasing and enterprise demand for governance solutions is accelerating. Our vision extends far beyond compliance; it is about enabling businesses to innovate boldly and responsibly. Today, Xapi is trusted by global clients, including international governments and several Fortune 500 companies,” he said.


Shanaka Mendis, Head of Business Development and Partnerships at Xapi and X Venture, highlighted the strategic importance of the brand refresh.


“The rebranding of Xapi is much more than a design evolution. It represents a strategic repositioning that reflects the maturity of our platform and the sophistication of our clients. Cyaniq has been instrumental in this process, demonstrating a deep understanding of our technology, regulatory landscape and global ambitions,” he said.
