“World-class brands are made in Sri Lanka. It’s time we owned one. Help launch POLAX: High -quality, homegrown streetwear with a global vision”

Induwara Nanayakkara - Founder of POLAX

The Vision

Did you know that some of the world's biggest activewear giants—like Gymshark and Adidas—manufacture their products right here in Sri Lanka? Our country produces world-class textiles, yet we rarely see a Sri Lankan brand competing on the global stage.

POLAX is here to change that narrative.

We are a new streetwear brand combining high-quality Sri Lankan craftsmanship with edgy, modern aesthetics. We aren't just printing on cheap blanks; we are manufacturing from scratch using premium materials including high-quality cotton, polyester blends, acrylics, and soft ribbed knitted fabrics.

We have the designs. We have the drive. We have access to the best manufacturing standards in the world. Now, we need the capital to start the machines.

This campaign is to raise 250,000 LKR to manufacture our very first batch of 100 exclusive pieces. By backing this project, you aren't just buying a t-shirt; you are fueling the start of a Sri Lankan brand with the ambition to go international.

Thank you !

My name is Induwara Nanayakkara, and I am the founder of POLAX.

I am not a big corporation, and I’m not a veteran fashion designer. I am a young Sri Lankan entrepreneur with a dream to make an impact. I realized that while our country is a hub for textile excellence, we lack a youth culture brand that speaks to the international market.

I design everything myself. The journey of entrepreneurship is stressful, but I love every second of it. My goal is simple but ambitious: To build POLAX into a brand that starts locally but eventually sits on shelves worldwide.

For this first launch, we are focusing on unique color combinations and premium fabric feel—specifically soft ribbed knits and durable cotton blends that you usually only find in expensive foreign brands.

We are looking to raise a total of 250,000 LKR. This is a "lean startup" budget strictly calculated to get our first 100 units made and ready for sale.

Here is how we will use the funds:

Description	Estimated Cost(Rs.)	Notes
Fabric Sourcing	100,000	Purchasing high-quality Cotton, Polyester, & Ribbed Knit
Manufacturing	100,000	Cutting, sewing, and printing costs for 100 units
Packaging & Branding	30,000	Hangtags, poly bags, and stickers
Marketing/Shoot	20,000	Product photography for the online launch
Total	250,000

Note: If we do not hit the full target, we will reduce the batch size, but every contribution brings us closer to putting a Sri Lankan brand on the map.

We are ready to move fast. Our designs are finalized and our manufacturers are on standby.

I am Induwara Nanayakkara, a driven creator passionate about the potential of the Sri Lankan fashion industry. This isn't just about money for me; it's about proving that a local kid with a vision can build something that competes with the big international names.
