www.ikman.lk

Sri Lanka · Senthil Kumar · 13 Sep 2020

<p>The site hosts user-generated classified advertisements, sorted by various categories. The name "ikman" comes from the Sinhala term "ඉක්මන්" meaning "fast", or "quick".</p>
<p>Launched in June 2012, ikman.lk gained prominence due to its large selection of second-hand and brand new items. According to statistics from Alexa Internet, ikman.lk became the 6th most visited website in Sri Lanka after three months of operation.</p>
<p>The site is developed and maintained by technical teams based in Sweden, although the business development and customer services for ikman.lk are managed by local staff within Sri Lanka.</p>
<p>The website can be used by anyone, with users required to provide a valid email address and need to pay in order to upload advertisements onto the site. All submitted ads are manually screened before being shown on the site, a security measure to ensure that the products and services being offered are authentic and legal.</p>
<p>The ikman.lk website is considered to be the first classifieds portal in the country to offer content in English as well as the country's main Sinhala and Tamil languages</p>
