Areva Investments (Pvt) Ltd will celebrate its 10th anniversary on 18 September 2025, marking a decade of service in corporate finance and investment banking services. Since its inception, the Company has built a reputation as a trusted partner for businesses seeking structured debt and funding solutions.

Founded and led by Director/CEO Ms. Anoma Bandara, Areva Investments has steadily expanded its footprint in the financial services sector. Backed by an eminent Board of Directors and an experienced team, the Company provides both long-term and short-term financing structures designed to strengthen the capital base of its clients.

Today, its client base ranges from banks, finance companies, insurers, corporates, fund managers to high-net-worth individuals.
Reflecting on the milestone, Ms. Anoma Bandara stated, “This 10-year journey is a testament to the trust our clients and partners have placed in us. We are proud of the solutions we have delivered and remain committed to shaping innovative financial structures that support business growth across industries.”
