Cyaniq appointed as strategic partner for brand transformation and go-to-market execution in EU and Sri Lanka
Xapi, the Singapore-based unified governance platform developed to meet the evolving demands of modern enterprises, has expanded its presence to Sri Lanka with a forward-looking brand identity and a clearly defined global go-to-market strategy. With its roots in Singapore and a significant leadership presence in Sri Lanka, Xapi is poised to lead the way in data, API, and AI governance across international markets.
The announcement was made at “Beyond X,” a brand showcase hosted by parent company X Venture, marking a significant milestone in the platform’s journey. The event introduced a reimagined product direction and a refined brand identity aligned with Xapi’s core vision: delivering effortless, intelligent governance for businesses navigating complex regulatory environments.
In response to heightened global regulatory focus on AI ethics, data privacy, and cross-border digital infrastructure, Xapi’s enhanced platform is designed to help enterprises seamlessly comply with evolving legislative frameworks such as the Sri Lankan Personal Data Protection Act and the European Union AI Governance Act.
To support this transformation, X Venture appointed specialized go-to-market consultancy; Cyaniq as its strategic partner to lead the platform’s brand identity design, go-to-market strategy development, and market entry execution across Sri Lanka and Europe. The partnership signals the onset of global expansion for Xapi, not merely as a compliance solution, but as a scalable governance engine powering innovation with integrity.
“Xapi was founded by a Sri Lankan-led team and has been primarily operating out of Singapore, one of Asia’s leading digital innovation hubs,” said Prabath Ariyarthna, Co-Founder of Xapi and X Venture. “Following our success in the Singaporean market, we are now scaling operations in Sri Lanka and the EU, where regulatory clarity is increasing and enterprise demand for governance solutions is accelerating. Our vision extends far beyond compliance, it is about enabling businesses to innovate boldly and responsibly. Today, Xapi is trusted by global clients including international governments and several Fortune 500 companies.”
Xapi’s enhanced capabilities include real-time data classification, cross-border API governance, and embedded AI policy enforcement. These features are particularly relevant to highly regulated sectors such as financial services, healthcare, government, and logistics, all of which demand transparency, agility, and resilience in compliance.
Shanaka Mendis, Head of Business Development & Partnerships at Xapi and X Venture, emphasized the strategic impact of the brand refresh: “The rebranding of Xapi is much more than a design evolution. It’s a strategic repositioning that reflects the maturity of our platform and the sophistication of our clients. Cyaniq has been instrumental in this process, demonstrating a deep understanding of our technology, our regulatory landscape, and our global ambitions. With both the EU AI Governance Act and Sri Lanka’s Personal Data Protection Act approaching enforcement, 2026 will be a pivotal year for Xapi. We’re fully committed to helping our clients turn governance into a competitive advantage.”
The engagement with Cyaniq covered every facet of Xapi’s repositioning, including value proposition development, narrative refinement, and launch campaign planning. The timing aligns with the global shift towards proactive regulatory readiness and digital ethics enforcement.
As part of its go-to-market strategy, Xapi will focus on strengthening relationships with regulators, technology partners, and enterprise compliance teams. Broader regional deployment is scheduled for Q2 2026, and platform demonstrations are currently open to enterprise clients via www.xapihub.io.
The Xapi offering for Sri Lankan enterprises looking to comply with the upcoming Personal Data Protection Act is now available for enrolment at www.xapihub.io/PDPA
