The spirit of the Malayali community is defined by a powerful sense of unity and an affection for our homeland. We believe this intrinsic connection now aligns perfectly with a period of unprecedented economic opportunity within Kerala.
Kerala is currently home to over 40 Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and is aggressively pursuing increased global investments. We observe a growing trend where successful tech founders of the Malayali diaspora are actively looking to expand their scale and operations within their home state.
Beyond professional prospects, Kerala offers a truly exceptional quality of life. Our region benefits from superior air quality, access to clean water, and increasingly sophisticated urban infrastructure. Intercity connectivity is being revolutionized: the Kochi Metro, Kochi Water Metro, and the upcoming Thiruvananthapuram Metro will ensure seamless travel within major IT hubs. Furthermore, the signal-less corridor development of NH-66 promises to effectively integrate the entire state into a single large city.
With robust air connections offering daily domestic and international flights, coupled with the strategic importance of the Vizhinjam and Kochi shipping terminals, Kerala's intercontinental connectivity for business and travel is excellent.
We firmly believe this convergence of cultural pull, infrastructural maturity, and economic focus presents the optimal time for the Malayali diaspora to transition their careers back to the state.
We urge you to register with ‘Thirike’ and become part of this movement in Kerala’s history.
Sincerely,
Team Thirike
Sri.Seeram Sambasiva Rao IAS Special Secretary, Electronics and IT Department, Govt of Kerala

This is the moment for the Malayali tech diaspora to look back, reconnect, and contribute. I invite you to register on Thirike and be part of Kerala’s next phase of growth.
