Janashakthi Insurance PLC and Janashakthi Finance PLC, two strategic business units of the Janashakthi Group (JXG), recently relocated their respective head offices to the Bishop’s Gate Building at No. 338, T.B. Jayah Mawatha, Colombo 10. This move marks a key step in strengthening the Group’s unified identity and operational footprint.
The new headquarters brings both businesses into the same prestigious building, offering greater convenience to customers and reinforcing the Group’s presence in the heart of Colombo. The location, known as the Bishop’s Gate, is a heritage site where formal women’s education began in Sri Lanka, adding a layer of historical significance to this central and accessible business hub. This strategic choice further supports the Group’s aim to enhance service delivery and internal collaboration.
K.M.M. Jabir, Director/CEO, Janashakthi Finance PLC, added, “Moving into our new consolidated office marks an exciting chapter for Janashakthi Finance following our recent rebranding. The strategic move enables us to leverage collective strengths throughout the Group’s entities, expand Janashakthi Finance branch network more effectively, and reach communities with comprehensive financial services.”
As Janashakthi Insurance and Janashakthi Finance step into an exciting new phase, the unified approach under JXG’s ‘Stronger Together, Stronger Than Ever’ philosophy demonstrates the emerging financial conglomerate’s focus on collective strength and operational excellence.
