RAJ Creations was born at night. In fact over many nights in 2019. Raj was in Colombo working during the day for the Ministry of Education in its IT department, and at night he was working on projects for his own private clients.

- BY JEKHAN ARULLIAH

This continued for a few months until the private clients were coming fast enough for Raj to quit the day job and move home to Jaffna.

When COVID lockdowns struck in 2021 Raj Creations was getting many freelance jobs from the diaspora. COVID lockdowns seem to have given the diaspora, stuck at home with nothing else to spend their money on, time to develop their own ideas some of which they passed to offshore teams to implement. Many companies benefited from this.
