Predesigns Clothing
Our founding / operating venture: the clothing brand whose customer and operational experience helped shape Purple Ray Group.
Our origin
Purple Ray Group grew from the founder's experience building Predesigns Clothing. Serving customers, managing production and solving everyday operational problems created a practical foundation for the group.
Those business needs led toward software and automation, broader technology development, and Purple Ray Group (Pty) Ltd. Predesigns Clothing remains a founding / operating venture within the company story.

- Real-world problem solving
- Long-term adaptability
The Founder
Purple Ray Group was founded by Josias Tlou, a software engineer, entrepreneur, and technology builder driven by a passion for creating practical solutions that improve everyday life.
With a background in software development, artificial intelligence, digital products, and business innovation, Josias believes that technology should solve real problems, create opportunities, and empower people across Africa and beyond.
His journey began with a simple vision: to build products that combine innovation, accessibility, and real-world impact. That vision has grown into an expanding ecosystem of ventures spanning software, AI, fintech, consumer products, and digital services.
Through Purple Ray Group, Josias leads the development of technology products and emerging projects focused on solving meaningful challenges.
His long-term mission is to build globally competitive companies from Africa, proving that world-class innovation can be created anywhere when driven by vision, discipline, and relentless execution.
"Great companies are built by solving real problems. Every venture we create starts with that principle."
