Oxford College of Business (OCB), Sri Lanka’s leading private higher education institution, has been honoured as one of the nation’s Most Loved Corporate Brands and Most Loved Service Brands in the prestigious LMD Brands Annual 2025 – the 17th edition of the country’s definitive ranking of brand excellence.

This recognition by LMD, based on an independent nationwide survey conducted by PepperCube Consultants, places Oxford College of Business in the company of Sri Lanka’s most admired and trusted brands across 90 sectors. The accolade celebrates OCB’s exceptional ability to connect with students, parents, alumni, and wider communities not only through world-class academic offerings, but also through an unwavering commitment to service excellence, innovation, and sustainability.

“To be recognised among Sri Lanka’s most loved brands is a true testament to the deep trust and enduring relationships we have cultivated with our stakeholders,” said Malindu Ranasinghe, Director/CEO of Oxford College of Business. “In an era where higher education is rapidly evolving, our focus has remained constant: delivering transformative learning experiences with integrity, care, and impact. This award reflects the heart of our brand – a brand built on quality, empathy, and a relentless drive to empower our students to thrive in an interconnected world. Above all, I give glory to God, whose grace and guidance continue to inspire and sustain everything we do at Oxford College of Business.”

OCB’s appearance in both the Corporate and Service categories underscores the dual strength of its brand identity: as a highly respected corporate entity and as an institution known for delivering exceptional student and stakeholder experiences.

According to the Brands Annual 2025 preface, “Brands that embrace innovation, reinforce value propositions, and build emotional connections are best positioned to thrive in adversity and command loyalty.” Oxford College of Business’s recognition highlights its resilience and relevance in an increasingly competitive higher education landscape.

In recent years, Oxford College of Business has consistently led the private higher education sector through:

• Offering internationally recognised degrees in partnership with globally ranked universities.
• Driving digital-first innovations in teaching and learning.
• Setting new benchmarks in sustainability, diversity, and community engagement.
• Building one of Sri Lanka’s strongest alumni and corporate partner networks.

“At Oxford College of Business, we believe a brand is not defined by marketing, but by how it lives in the hearts and minds of those it serves. Being named one of Sri Lanka’s most loved brands is an immense honour – and a responsibility we embrace with gratitude and humility,” Malindu Ranasinghe added.

As Sri Lanka’s higher education sector continues to transform, Oxford College of Business remains steadfast in its mission to shape future-ready leaders and foster a brand of education that inspires trust, loyalty, and love.
