Awards Timeline

1999

Financial Award for Innovators

President's Fund

Granted by the President's Fund for Innovators in recognition of pioneering waste-mineral innovation — transforming discarded mineral by-products into commercially viable, high-value artistic products. This early recognition validated our core principle: Sri Lankan minerals deserve refinement, not export as raw material.

1999

Patent Granted - Natural Mineral Lamps

National Intellectual Property Office (NIPO)

Registered for "Manufacturing and Designing of Natural, Durable, Coloured Decorative Lamps with Technical Usage of Mineral Sand and Pulverized Stones." The patent covers the method of turning finely ground mineral grains into luminous lamp shades — where each grain reflects and refracts light to create a soft, natural glow that cannot be replicated with paint or dye.
