The group
One vision. Many businesses.
Ellaam Express isn't a standalone company. It's part of a wider family of businesses founded by Saaruban Sivaratnam — each tackling one piece of the Sri Lankan diaspora story. Parcels. Travel. Education. Migration. Workforce training. Different services, one operator, one trusted team.
Where you are
One of these is probably you right now.
The diaspora journey has stages — from a student in Jaffna to a grandmother in Toronto sending sweetmeats to her grandchildren in London. Each stage needs a different kind of help. Saaruban has built a business for each one.
Finishing school
You've just done your Advanced Level exams. Need help mapping a career path and finding a university abroad?
Building a career abroad
You want to work in Canada. You need training, certification, and a path that gets you there.
Moving the family
Migration paperwork is its own job. Family-class sponsorship, work permits, study permits, PR.
Visiting home (or bringing family across)
Flights, tour packages, group travel for weddings or community events.
Sending things home — and receiving them
Parcels, sea cargo, commercial trade, concierge shopping, warehouse fulfillment.

Why one family of businesses
Four reasons it's worth knowing they're all related.
One operator behind every service
Same founder. Same team. Same standards. You're not being handed off to a stranger between businesses — it's the same group taking care of your parcel, your visa, your degree, your migration.
We understand the diaspora because we are the diaspora
Every founder, manager, and staff member came from somewhere on this journey. The lived experience is in the company, not just in marketing brochures.
We refer between businesses
If you message Ellaam about a parcel and we sense you actually need help migrating your sibling to Canada, we say so. Same the other way around. The businesses talk to each other.
Long-term, not transactional
A student becomes a professional becomes a parent becomes a grandparent. Saaruban's businesses are built to serve you across all those stages — not just sell you one transaction and disappear.
