Edirisinghe Homes, based in Kandy and Dehiwala since 2012, has been a leader in modern architecture in Sri Lanka.
The remarkable story of vision, dedication, and transformational leadership
Born and raised in Nugegoda, Sri Lanka, Samith Edirisinghe's journey from a passionate student at St. John's College to a globally recognized entrepreneur stands as one of the most inspiring success stories of modern Sri Lankan business. His story is not just about building companies—it's about building dreams, empowering communities, and creating lasting positive impact.
From his early days at St. John's College, Samith exhibited an extraordinary passion for construction and design. This wasn't just a childhood interest—it was the foundation of what would become a remarkable entrepreneurial journey. After completing his Advanced Level education, he demonstrated remarkable dedication by working as a teacher while simultaneously pursuing studies in Civil Engineering and Draftsmanship.
A defining moment: His journey to the Sri Lanka Institute in the United Kingdom wasn't just about education—it was about expanding horizons. There, he not only continued his studies but secured a permanent position, developing an architectural style that would later revolutionize Sri Lankan construction by blending modern home designs with methods perfectly suited to the island's unique landscape.
On October 16, 1984, a vision was born. But it was in 2012, in the cultural heart of Kandy, that this vision truly took shape with the establishment of Edirisinghe Homes (Pvt) Ltd. The timing was perfect—Kandy lacked adequate modern housing designs, creating the ideal opportunity for innovation.
From sole proprietorship to industry leader with 500+ employees
What started in Kandy didn't stay in Kandy. Through innovative construction technologies and collaboration with skilled engineers, Samith introduced revolutionary designs and methods that transformed the regional construction landscape. The company's growth was remarkable—from a single operation to owning all essential machinery and tools for large-scale construction, with branches in both Kandy and Dehiwala.
What sets Samith apart isn't just his business acumen—it's his unwavering commitment to empowerment. His approach to leadership is revolutionary: he recognizes and nurtures the unique talents of his employees, providing them with resources and opportunities to reach their full potential. This isn't just management—it's mentorship at scale.
His innovative management style, especially in construction technology, empowers employees by entrusting them with significant responsibilities and fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship within his team. The result? A workforce that doesn't just work for the company—they grow with it.
Perhaps most remarkably, Samith's entrepreneurial vision extends beyond profit to purpose. The founding of H & R Skills (Pvt) Ltd represents a commitment to nurturing young Sri Lankan talent with a clear mission: to empower Sri Lanka's development by providing world-class skills and opportunities, keeping the nation's brightest minds thriving at home.
Supporting New Ventures: Samith has established a dedicated division to help individuals start their own businesses, providing financial assistance, initial salaries, and resources so aspiring entrepreneurs can focus on building successful ventures without the burden of immediate profitability.
True to his teacher's heart, Samith continues to educate through his YouTube channel, offering practical advice on home construction—from choosing the right plot of land to minimizing building costs. His guidance reaches beyond his employees to benefit the general public, embodying his philosophy that knowledge shared is knowledge multiplied.
Today, Samith Edirisinghe's story continues to unfold. From his humble beginnings in Nugegoda to creating jobs for over 500 people, from transforming Kandy's construction landscape to establishing international operations in Malaysia and Australia, his journey exemplifies what's possible when vision meets dedication.
But perhaps most importantly, his story reminds us that true success isn't measured just in profit margins or market expansion—it's measured in the lives transformed, the opportunities created, and the lasting positive impact on communities. Through his business initiatives and charitable efforts, Samith continues to inspire and empower those around him, leaving a legacy that extends far beyond construction sites to touch the very foundation of Sri Lankan entrepreneurship.
