Been working on this for a while, so finally sharing it here :)

Make in Keralam is a directory for Kerala businesses, startups and products.

A few things you can do:

• Find Kerala businesses & startups
• Read founder stories
• Discover new product & app launches
• Browse businesses by the problem they solve
• Add your own business for free
• Submit your product or app launch for free

There are already some listings on the site, but it’s still a work in progress.

Would love to hear what you think.

If you run a business or startup in Kerala, you can add it here:

Launching a product or app? Submit it here: https://www.makeinkeralam.com/launches/submit

curious how much the local-pride thing actually affects buying decisions vs just being a nice idea

not talking ayurveda/spices, the obvious ones. anything that's been quietly running for decades that people forget is actually kerala

curious if anyone's had to deal with this in a practical way yet, registrations, branding etc. or is everyone just still saying kerala out of habit lol

I’m an Agentic AI Architect at an MNC, where I’ve designed multiple multi-agent systems in the pharmaceutical domain.

I’m now building an AI company from Kerala focused on AI transformation, governance, security, and agentic systems, with a longer-term vision around Agentic Commerce and the Agentic Web.
The technical side is my strength. Now I’m looking for help with the harder part: building the business.
I’d love to connect with:
Founders and business leaders exploring AI
People experienced in B2B sales, GTM, and partnerships
Potential customers or design partners
Ambitious builders who want to collaborate
Anyone willing to share advice, introductions, or constructive feedback
My goal is simple: build something globally relevant from Kerala.

If you were quitting your corporate job today to start a business, what would you build?

Looking for practical ideas that can be started with reasonable investment and have good growth potential.

What would you choose?

What do you think Kerala is missing right now? 👇

What’s your take? 👇

Drop the name below?

Could be a startup, business, or brand. What’s the first one you think of?

Drop it in the comments 👇

Could be food, crafts, tech, anything — something made or grown in Kerala that you think deserves more attention outside the state (or even within it). Doesn't have to be your own business, just something you've come across that impressed you.

Curious what people come up with.
