Kerala to Set Up 'Kerala Desks' in Five Global Cities to Boost Investments
The Kerala government plans to establish 'Kerala Desks' in Dubai, London, New York, Singapore, and Tokyo to attract foreign investments and engage the diaspora beyond remittances. These desks, operating on a no-cost model with recognized Non-Resident Keralite organizations, will facilitate investment through the Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation's Invest Keralam Cell. The initiative, part of the 100-Day Action Plan, aims to build structured relationships, generate investment leads, and provide market intelligence without financial burden on the state.
