Founder and CEO, Proud Lion Studios
Amal Perera
Amal founded Proud Lion Studios in Dubai to build complete software products end to end: AI agents and AI video, blockchain and Web3 platforms, games, mobile apps and SaaS. Amal leads a UAE team of around fifteen developers, designers and engineers, and works directly with founders and enterprises from the first brief to launch.
Years building software products
Projects delivered across the UAE, US, Netherlands and beyond
Developers, designers and engineers in the Dubai team
Foundation-backed studio, with multiple ecosystem grants
How Amal works
The studio's house rule comes from Amal: technology is the easy part, and the real work is understanding the business well enough to build the right thing. That is why Proud Lion Studios designs, builds and ships whole products rather than isolated features, and why it also builds its own: Leomen AI Studio, an AI video SaaS, is a Proud Lion Studios product.
Under Amal's leadership, the studio has become an Aptos Foundation-backed team with multiple ecosystem grants, and has collaborated with Warner Bros on NFT projects. Clients range from Dubai startups and agencies to enterprises in the US and Europe.
