Trusted Research
Our research and analysis are relied on by a wide range of organisations, policymakers and even governments due to our meticulous approach and impartiality.
Interdiscplinary approach
Our economics, politics, media and law teams cross pollinate each other to collaboratively offer clients, policymakers and the wider public world class research.
Impactful narratives
We present policy recommendations and analysis through compelling and digestible narratives. These have led to changes in national policy and economic strategy.
Verité Research, as the name implies, is an independent think tank with research at its core. We carry out this research along four areas –economics, politics, media, and law. Leveraging this research, we provide strategic analysis and advice to governments, organisations, and the private sector in Sri Lanka and beyond.
