Back to Thiruvananthapuram

Kazhakoottam, in the north of Thiruvananthapuram, is home to Technopark, one of India’s oldest and largest technology parks. Thousands of professionals work here, and the area has grown rapidly with apartments, hostels, cafés, restaurants and shopping centres. Many residents moved from other parts of Kerala and India for work, which gives the area a young, mixed character. For Myra members, Kazhakoottam is one of the most active areas in the city, with plenty of cafés and food spots for a first date. Introductions here often include people from Sreekaryam, Kariavattom, Kulathoor, Pallippuram and Technocity, depending on your distance limit. The coast is only a short drive away, with quiet beaches for a sunset walk on a later date. For a first meeting, a café near Technopark keeps things simple, quick and public. Weekends are calmer here, when brunch in a café or a visit to the mall is a relaxed way to meet. During Onam, offices and apartment complexes hold celebrations with flower carpets and feasts, and the whole area takes on a festive mood. Technopark, established in 1990, was India’s first technology park, and it has grown to cover hundreds of acres in several phases. Before that, Kazhakoottam was a quiet village on the highway surrounded by coconut groves. The St. Andrew’s beach and Perumathura, where the backwaters meet the sea, are short drives away, and the Greenfield International Stadium at Kariavattom has hosted international cricket and football matches. Weekend boat rides on the Veli lagoon are nearby.
