Kerala is fast emerging as a global hub where technology and creativity intersect, offering huge opportunities for its tech professionals. At the 2025 Fab Lab graduation ceremony in Kalamassery, Anoop Ambika, CEO of Kerala Startup Mission, highlighted how the state’s growing creative economy can be a game-changer for those ready to innovate.
Bridging Technology and Creativity
In the past, technology workers and the creative community often operated in separate spheres. Today, however, the integration of advanced technology into creative industries has opened up vast possibilities for both sectors, Ambika explained.
“The value of this sector is $200 billion,” he added, urging graduates to fully leverage this potential.
