For the sixth year running, Gapstars has been recognised as a Great Place to Work in Sri Lanka, adding yet another accolade to its growing collection. 
And if that wasn’t enough, it has also landed in the Top 50 Small to Medium Enterprises list for the third consecutive year. 
So, what’s the secret sauce? It’s simple: people first. Gapstars is all about creating an inclusive, empathetic and employee-driven environment. From day one, the company has strived to be more than just a workplace—it’s a space where growth, learning and well-being are at the forefront. Its efforts haven’t gone unnoticed, with prestigious awards like Top 100 in Asia and Top 10 IT/ITes Companies in Sri Lanka, backing up the company’s strong reputation.
Gapstars CEO Hugo Hemmen stated, “Community is at the core of who we are. We believe that a company is defined by the passion of its people and for a company to succeed, that passion should be authentic. This is why we go the extra mile in making sure that we imbue empathy into every aspect of our entity, so that our employees know that they are valued as the soul and life of the business.”


At Gapstars, health and well-being are top priorities. From regular games of badminton, swimming and basketball to on-site masseurs and gym memberships, the employees can unwind and recharge. For those who need a mental health check-in, Gapstars partners with professional therapists to provide counselling and support. And of course, they’ve got your back with medical coverage, OPD reimbursements and partnerships with top hospitals and clinics.
Gapstars also ensures financial stability, with salaries pegged to the euro, so that unpredictable times are made smoother. The company also makes commuting a breeze with shuttle services and offers a flexible work environment, allowing the employees who are stationed out of Colombo to still contribute effectively to their teams.
