History
Paradox Software was founded by 3 former medalists of the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI
- - the world's premier programming competition), in 2004. The first project, a Sinhala search engine
went on to win the best E-Society award as well as the bronze award in the Research and Development
category of the National Best Quality Software Awards (NBQSA).
After turning on to full time software development, Paradox Software gradually gravitated towards
working on website development until this has become the area of specialization of the company.
Paradox Software has grown from strength to strength, and at the moment consists of 10 employees.
