ikman.lk is a premier classified advertisements website operating in Sri Lanka.
Business description
The site hosts user-generated classified advertisements, sorted by various categories. The name "ikman" comes from the Sinhala term "ඉක්මන්" meaning "fast", or "quick".[1]
Launched in June 2012, ikman.lk gained prominence due to its large selection of second-hand and brand new items.
ikman.lk became the 6th most visited website in Sri Lanka after three months of operation.[2]
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.[3]
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.[3]
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.[3][4][5][6]
