Talent pool, infrastructure scale-up propel Technopark Kollam

Kerala, Jan 2026: Backed by multiple infrastructure projects, improved connectivity, and access to a strong regional talent pool, Technopark Kollam—India’s first lakeside IT park—is poised for its next phase of growth as a lakefront technology campus.

Upcoming amenities such as an open-air amphitheatre and a women’s hostel are expected to significantly enhance the campus’s live–work–play ecosystem. These facilities aim to improve employee well-being, productivity, and long-term talent retention, while complementing the campus’s scenic and environmentally sustainable setting. Construction of the women’s hostel and civil works for the amphitheatre are scheduled for completion by the end of February.

Established in 2015 as an IT SEZ campus, Technopark Kollam is supported by robust core infrastructure, including uninterrupted power and water supply, sewage treatment facilities, internal road networks, and high-speed data connectivity. The campus has been designed to meet the operational needs of modern IT and ITeS companies.

A key strength of the Kollam campus is its proximity to a strong academic ecosystem. Premier institutions such as TKM College of Engineering and College of Engineering Perumon, along with more than a dozen engineering and professional colleges in the region, produce thousands of industry-ready graduates every year, creating a steady talent pipeline for companies operating from the campus.

Designed to support small and mid-sized IT/ITeS firms, Technopark Phase V is positioned as Kerala’s next-generation IT hub. Set against the backdrop of Ashtamudi Lake, the LEED Gold-certified campus offers plug-and-play office spaces backed by a strong regional workforce.

Located at Kundara, around 15 km from Kollam town, Technopark Kollam reimagines the traditional IT park by combining high-productivity workspaces with a workcation-style environment. Envisioned as the Technopark Lakefront Integrated IT City, the campus enables scalable growth for startups and SMEs while being situated within a Ramsar-notified wetland landscape.

The master plan places strong emphasis on sustainability, recreation, and seamless business operations, making the campus attractive to domestic and global firms looking for cost-effective expansion options beyond saturated metropolitan markets.

Immediate occupancy is available at the Ashtamudi Building, which offers nearly one lakh square feet of warm-shell and plug-and-play office space. Modular units ranging from 8 to 25 seats allow companies to onboard quickly and scale operations with ease.

In addition, the campus benefits from its proximity to Technopark’s wider IT ecosystem of over 80,000 professionals across Kerala, giving companies access to skilled talent in software development, IT services, and emerging technologies.

With its strategic location, modern infrastructure, ready-to-occupy spaces, and strong talent ecosystem, Technopark Kollam is well positioned to emerge as a key driver of Kerala’s next phase of IT-led growth.
