SLT-MOBITEL and Thyaga team up to change the Art of Gifting

June, 8, 2023

Set to revolutionize the art of gifting with an easy and trendy digital solution, SLT-MOBITEL, the National ICT Solutions Provider and Thyaga, Sri Lanka’s first and largest e-gift voucher platform have joined forces to offer a convenient and hassle-free way to purchase and send digital gift vouchers for any occasion.

Making it easier to present gifts in a convenient and personalized manner with just a few clicks, Thyaga is now on board on SLT-MOBITEL eTeleshop platform https://eteleshop.slt.lk/. Any visitor to the site can purchase and send gift vouchers for any occasion to their loved ones digitally. The selection of vouchers is currently based on occasions such as a Birthday, Farewell and any Season’s Greetings, special days etc.

Thyaga offers a host of features including enabling customers to purchase e-gift vouchers from wherever they are located for anyone, across the country.

Further, Thyaga provides the convenience of multivendor gift vouchers to customers. Once a selected gift voucher is purchased, it ensures it is sent to the recipient in a timely manner. The voucher is delivered via email or SMS on a pre-scheduled date or within 12 hours based on the purchaser's preferences. The goal is to provide the customers with the flexibility they need to send the perfect gift to their loved ones.

Also, Thyaga's vouchers can be redeemed at any time, any day, and at multiple merchants within their partner outlets. The recipient has the flexibility to choose the value they wish to use, and the voucher can be redeemed in full or partially until the value is exhausted. This hassle-free process of gift-giving is much more convenient than the traditional method.

Prabhath Dahanayake, SLT-MOBITEL Group Chief Marketing Officer noted, “We believe now is the perfect time to introduce digital vouchers and gift cards that would appeal to consumers. The partnership aims to provide a seamless and user-friendly gifting experience for customers across Sri Lanka. Through eteleshop.slt.lk, gift-givers can easily purchase vouchers and send them to their loved ones via email or SMS, making it an ideal solution for those who are short on time or prefer to avoid the crowds at traditional gift shops.”

Sachin Wickramasinghe, Chief Executive Officer of Thyaga – “We are thrilled to partner with SLT-MOBITEL to bring our e-gifting solution to even more people across Sri Lanka. Our partnership with the National ICT Solutions Provider will allow us to leverage their technological expertise and extensive network to offer a seamless and convenient gifting experience for customers across the country. We believe that this partnership is a step forward in revolutionizing the art of gifting, making it easier and more accessible for everyone."
