Kerala's unified TiE chapter — fostering entrepreneurship through education, mentorship, networking, and funding across all 14 districts of God's Own Country.
Unlike large metropolitan regions where entrepreneurial activity centres around one city, Kerala's innovation ecosystem is uniquely distributed. Entrepreneurs, startups, and institutions are spread across the entire state — from Thiruvananthapuram to Kasaragod. A unified chapter ensures no region is left behind.
Kerala is a compact state with no internal metropolitan dominance. With a continuous urban landscape and minimal socio-economic divide, innovation thrives everywhere — not just in one city.
Our Charter Members are leading entrepreneurs and business leaders from every district in the state. Nearly half our membership comes from outside Kochi, spanning Trivandrum, Calicut, Kottayam, and beyond.
The Kerala State Government recognises TiE Kerala as a key ecosystem partner — on par with organisations like CII and FICCI. This statewide identity enables impactful collaborations on policy, education, and entrepreneurship.
Founded in 2003, TiE Kerala has built deep brand equity and trust among entrepreneurs, government bodies, academic institutions, and industry associations across the state over two decades.
TiE Kerala's programmes and membership reflect a truly pan-state presence, engaging entrepreneurs, students, and stakeholders from Thiruvananthapuram to Kannur.
From young entrepreneur development in schools to mentorship for scaling startups, TiE Kerala's programmes run across cities and districts — not just in one location.
Active in 25+ schools across Kochi, Trivandrum, Calicut, Kottayam, and more — nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs statewide. TYECon, the state-wide TYE conference, brings young innovators together from every corner of Kerala.
Over 200 entrepreneurial teams from across the state receive structured mentorship — with nearly two-thirds of participating teams based outside Kochi.
TiE Kerala works closely with the Kerala State Government on key entrepreneurship policy initiatives, education programmes, and the fostering of a vibrant innovation ecosystem across the state.
From flagship conferences to workshops and networking events — TiE Kerala runs programmes across cities including Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Calicut, Thrissur, and Kottayam.
Whether you're in Kochi, Trivandrum, Calicut, or anywhere else in Kerala — TiE Kerala is your chapter. Visit us to learn more, become a member, or explore our programmes.
