Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka’s #1 connectivity provider, has announced a strategic partnership with OREL Corporation (Pvt) Ltd, bringing together complementary strengths in digital platforms and device innovation to enhance smart living experiences in Sri Lanka.

Through this partnership with OREL, we are excited to integrate our Dialog Play App into OREL Smart TVs so that our customers can enjoy over 50,000 hours’ worth of content without having to invest in any additional hardware. Likewise, the integration of locally manufactured Smart Home devices into Dialog’s Smart Home App is another key step towards accelerating the adoption of smart living in Sri Lanka as our digital ecosystem continues to mature.”

Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Manjula Priyadarshana, Chief Operating Officer of OREL Corporation, said, “Orel is among the few companies in Sri Lanka with fully integrated design engineering, hardware development, and manufacturing capabilities—enabling us to deliver high-performance, premium-quality products driven by true design ingenuity.
