How much does AI consulting cost in Sri Lanka?

SafeNet publishes fixed prices: the AI Opportunity Scan is free, an AI Readiness Audit starts at LKR 95,000 for small businesses and LKR 185,000 for mid-market, a scoped build starts at LKR 250,000, training from LKR 65,000, and an ongoing retainer from LKR 45,000 per month. The audit fee is credited in full against any build commissioned within 60 days.

Is AI consulting worth it for a small Sri Lankan business?

The audit costs LKR 95,000 and takes two weeks. If it does not find something that pays for itself inside a year, we say so in the report, and you will have spent LKR 95,000 to avoid spending several million. That is the honest test.

We already use ChatGPT. What does an AI consultant add?

So does your competitor. The difference is whether it is wired into how your enquiries actually arrive, whether anyone has been trained on it, and whether anyone is accountable for the result. A tool with no owner and no measurement usually gets abandoned within a couple of months.

Can AI systems handle Tamil and Sinhala properly?

Much of it cannot, and if you have been disappointed before you were probably right to be. Send us ten of your real customer messages and we will show you the output before you pay anything. We use Sri Lankan Tamil conventions rather than Indian Tamil, and a native speaker reviews everything before launch.

What about data protection and the PDPA?

Sri Lanka’s Personal Data Protection Act is passed, but its main obligations are not yet in force, and the 2025 amendment removed the fixed deadlines while adding provisions on automated decision-making and algorithmic bias. We build to those requirements now, so that when commencement is gazetted you are already compliant.

How long before we see anything working?

The scan is 90 minutes and you leave with the map. The audit is two weeks, delivered on the date we promise. A build is four to six weeks and goes live at the end of it, rather than in phases that stretch into next year.

Do you work outside Jaffna and Colombo?

Yes. Jaffna is the HQ and Colombo the second office, but delivery is islandwide — we have clients in tourism, export and the public sector across the Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western provinces. Site visits are arranged for build and training phases.

Can travellers find you when they ask an AI?

More people now begin a trip by asking an assistant than you would guess, and those visits never appear in Google Analytics. We run your property against a fixed set of traveller questions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, then send a one-page scorecard. No cost, no obligation.

Why SafeNet for AI consulting

We work in all three languages, properly

Sri Lankan Tamil, not Indian Tamil. The vocabulary and register differ, and customers in the North and East hear it immediately. A native speaker reviews everything before it goes live.

We are in Jaffna and Colombo

Almost every AI consultant in Sri Lanka sits inside the Colombo metro. If you are in the North or East, we can be in your office rather than on a call from 400km away.

We build what we recommend

The person who writes your AI readiness audit is the person who builds it, so the estimates are grounded in real hours instead of consultant guesswork.

We publish our prices

Every one of them, on this page. You will know what AI consulting costs before you speak to us, and you can rule us out without spending an hour on a call to find out.

We write down the "before"

Response time, direct bookings, RFQ turnaround, hours recovered — whichever we agreed. Recorded the week we start, not the week we finish, because a result without a baseline is only a claim.

AI consulting that changes a number in your business

Sri Lanka is almost last in the world on AI readiness. That is the reason to move, not to wait.

Five steps. Every price published.
