Discover Technopark: The Iconic IT Park in Trivandrum

Back in 1989, the then-Chief Minister of Kerala, Shri E K Nayanar, visited the Apple facility at Silicon Valley in the United States, which inspired him to create something similar in Kerala. Hence, Technopark Trivandrum was born. The foundation stone of India’s first technology park was laid in July 1990, and ever since, there has been no looking back. Technopark is not just the first IT park in India; it’s also one of the largest and greenest in Asia. Today, its name is synonymous with innovation, progress, and cutting-edge technology. A sprawling IT hub, Technopark has emerged as a leading force in India's technological landscape, transforming Trivandrum into a vibrant hub for IT giants and aspiring entrepreneurs alike.

 

What was a mere dream, became a thriving IT hub, with a skilled global workforce and a world-class IT infrastructure. With unwavering support from the Kerala government and a commitment to creating a sustainable ecosystem, Technopark gradually blossomed, boasting over 500 companies, and housing some of the biggest names in the IT industry, including Infosys, TCS, UST Global, and Accenture. It’s no longer just an office space for IT companies in Kerala or a coworking space; it has evolved to become an international hub for collaboration, innovation, and entrepreneurship. 

 

An Innovative Green Paradise, Beyond a Workspace for IT companies

 

Technopark is a guiding light for IT parks across India for its eco-conscious design and sustainable practices. It stands out not only for its technological prowess but also for its eco-friendly approach. Spread across 768.63 acres, the campus is designed to seamlessly integrate cutting-edge technology with a deep respect for nature. Lush green landscapes, wide boulevards lined with trees, and energy-efficient buildings create a harmonious work environment. 

 

Technopark actively promotes sustainability initiatives, including rainwater harvesting, solar power generation, and a robust waste management system. The IT park in Kerala has its own Miyawaki Forest too! This dedication to environmental responsibility has earned Technopark the prestigious Gold certification from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). 

 

A Technology Park Par Excellence 

 

A stupendous feat in itself, this autonomous body by the Government of Kerala, is spread over four phases in Trivandrum, and a fifth one in Kollam. 

Phase I of Technopark has 18 buildings, with a dedicated internal power distribution system, water supply network, security zone, and verdant surroundings. Of the campus’s vast land area, 31.12 acres are dedicated to Special Economic Zones (SEZ).

Phase III currently has twin buildings, Ganga and Yamuna, while the upcoming flagship project, ‘DownTown Trivandrum’ by Embassy-Taurus, which is over 55 lakh sq. ft of built-up space, is under construction. This project will comprise workspace for IT companies, commercial/retail, and service apartment facilities. The project is envisioned as a micro-township with a ‘walk-to-work’ lifestyle model.

A micro-township project called ‘QUAD’ is also envisioned within Technocity, with 40 lakhs of built-up space and will function as an integrated township, where professionals can work, live, and play!
