Lanka Traders, the company behind PothKade, is a family-run business operating for over five decades out of No. 25, Dam Street, Colombo 12. Started up by the enterprising Late Mr Akberally Dawoodbhoy, who turned passion into a business, left behind him a legacy of trust and honesty as the core values for success.

Now run by a third-generation son, the business has taken several bold steps to ensure its firm foothold in the stationery and fancy items market. While Lanka Traders has served as an importer, wholesaler and retailer for quality office and school stationery, sporting gear, equipment, accessories and general merchandise for close to 55 years, it has now branched into manufacturing it’s own high quality, branded stationery products.

PothKade was launched as the online arm of Lanka Traders, through which the company reaches out to millions of customers, serving all its products at spectacular prices and delivering them straight to the customers doorstep.
